A-TACS camo...

Post by Jakob » Thu Aug 14, 2014 8:53 pm

I had never heard of this camo until a couple of days ago. It seems pretty good, especially the FG pattern for the woodlands around here. The Army is going to a Multicam-like pattern though, so I am considering just going Multicam so that I can crossload gear whenever I want.

Anyone else have any thoughts on the A-TACS pattern? Seems to the preferred pattern for Airsoft. The biggest drawback that I have been able to find is that the A-TACS does not do well during cross-overs and performs poorly in IR.

A-TACS is so.... 2012.

Kryptec Highlander is the new multicam. :)

I like atacs, but just stick with the multicam. Especially now that the fan boys are all over the kryptec, prices on multicam kit are dropping.

Kind of my thoughts too, with the addition of the multicam gear matchingthe new Army pattern.

Most of my stuff is multicam these days. The Kryptek highlander mixes fairly well with it

Mechanix gloves now come in multicam.

I like the atacs better for camo base layer but the multicam looks cooler.

How long does the ir protection last on these uniforms anyways. After a few washings and fading, wouldn't they all be about the same regardless of pattern or color?
