ACU vs. MARPAT Arrid

[greenknightscaptain]

It's actually really good in the current conflict. I watched a documentary called Restrepo which took place in Afghanistan. You could see how effective it is in certain enviorments. When ACU gets dusty it blends perfectly into the desert and works well in the the urban areas. The US Army is switching to Multicam because Afghanistan has a lot of grassy areas, which Multicam blends perfectly into. Ill admit ACU is about the worst uniform to use in the woods and jungle, but thats not the Army's fault we like to wear it there lol

I have a set of ACU's in Propper and the Rothco combat shirt. No difference in color that I can see and the quality is on par with Propper. I like it.

When ACU gets dusty it blends relativally okay, but yet worse than 3 colour desert into the desert and works well in the the urban areas. The US Army is switching to Multicam because Afghanistan has a some grassy areas, which Multicam blends better into. Ill admit ACU is about the worst uniform to use in the woods and jungle, but that is the Army's fault we are required to wear it there lol

Ill accept the "fixed" post. It gave me a good laugh, but what I meant by the last sentence wasn't that the US ARMY requires it to be worn in the current conflict. I was saying its not thier fault we use a decent desert/urban uniform for the wrong purpose(woods/jungle/grassy fields within the airsoft community. "WE" as in airsofters.

Sorry, i thought it was from the soldiers point of view, not the airsofter.

If you haven't bought anything yet, why not Woodland MARPAT?

I second this, or even cadpat. Flecktarn is also extremely effective and tiger stripe is just plain out cool and it works a lot better than acu.
