A-TACS vs. Multicam

For some more light-hearted footage, make sure to check out part 2!

After deciding that a set of the new Propper A-TACS BDUs might well be a good investment for the airsoft site I usually skirmish, I picked up a set from Op Tactical. Seeing quite a few people on forums calling it 'just the latest' fashion after multicam, I thought that one simple way to settle the debate (at least partially) would be to take this stuff out in to the woods and fields, get some simple footage, and allow people to make up their own minds by seeing the gear outside, and against various backgrounds.

Unfortunately being in southern England there is a definite lack of sand and arid environments so I apologise for not being able to show the 2 patterns outside of the usual green/temperate areas, But for those of you who might be considering using either camouflage amongst trees and foliage I hope this comes in useful.

While the now have a woodland ATACS, they probably didn't at the time.I haven't seen the woodland variant in action. I think multicam is better for more areas. Your yahoo friend in multicam should just get a set in that multicam because that white just sticks out like a sore thumb. In your area, I might suggest the canadian CAPDAT or russian KLMK since everything is so blasted green there.

@lustercowx That's my brother, not my 'yahoo friend'. The kit he was wearing there was all mine that he wore for the video, and that UBACS just happened to be the only MC upper clothing piece I owned at the time, it would also generally be worn with some kind of LBE covering up the tan coloured centre portion. I have howeversince bought a SORD traditional style shirt to fill the gap.

army should have A-TAC and marines should have MULTICAM

[docjekyll2002]

i have a pair of those army green/grey aviator gloves. The stitching sucks bad. Worse than the $30-50 gloves i get from walmart

A-Tacs was designed for Urban warfare,street fights,iraq,afganisthan..In england or in the UK the urbanistic picture is quite diferent than in the rest of the world,less beton or panel made buildings around,so i don't think that the A-Tacs is good choice for british military use..But the multi cam pattern or MTP is good choice in many points..I'm a former spec force member and i have a quite huge collection of these uniforms..Do you guys have a club,i'm near london and still looking for one

@CKinnerley Agreed. Scrub ATACS is clearly inferior to Multicam in the green foliage. Foliage ATACS is nice, bro. You need to try it! I would definitely choose the foliage ATACS of Multicam, for certain.
