Hmmm good point, thanks.

I always get teased about that so I just say we're too cheap to afford a whole set of kneepads. I do wear both socks tho.

The breakup of colors like the photo pugs provided does a lot to break up your overall shape, I find 3 color and woodland work really well together. Mix the two as often as you can if the terrain allows for it - it's an affordable and effective spring/fall loadout. (As is CadPat/CadPat Arid, or MarPat/MarPat Arid - I think i've only seen Bruce wear the MarPat combo thus far)

So I was going to make my gear out of one of the two but was wondering if anyone had anything bad to say about mixed camo in this manner. Is it frowned upon or is it general perfectly fine?

And "just buy CADPAT stuff" is not a solution as that comes with a high price tag for all the stuff I want and money is something in short supply at the moment (can afford $40 for fabric and thread but not $500 for a full set of gear) its not realistic.

Personally MARPAT seems to match CADPAT better than the ACU, but I have more of the ACU, so I'm not sure what I'm doing at the moment.

Thanks

I'm not saying this is happening here, but I always find it funny when every time the topic of camo comes up, people think that there's got to be some magical camo out there that's going to make them totally invisible

But as for the thoughts on the matter, I wouldn't say that there's any frowned upon camo combinations. Unless of course you're wearing pink BDU's and blaze orange gear on top of it, but even then, that'll have you laughed at more than anything.

This is just my personal opinion, but MARPAT looks as if it would be more effective to use during the fall season, where as CADPAT TW seems like it would work better in the late spring and through the summer when all the leaves are on the trees, and they're green. Maybe for this season, ACU BDU's under CADPAT gear may be the better combination, since most of the leaves are out, but there are still enough bare branches for the ACU to have an effect.
