Did you seriously just drop $180 for a pair of pants?

Men can blow away just as much money on clothes as women. The difference is that our clothes are actually functional.

Quoted for so much truth.

This is true, I'm about to buy a 50$ sport vest myself.

I'm looking for ACU or desert BDU's. Any ideas?

[Cortexian]

ACU is useless, it's not actually a camouflage as it won't even blend you in with environments using the same base color. The best "Arid Region" camo's are Multicam, AOR1/2, or CADPAT AR.

Multicam:


AOR1:


CADPAT AR:



Multicam works amazingly well, and it works well in more environments than the other two. AOR1/2 is basically a digital version of Multicam, CADPAT AR is pretty good as well (after-all, we Canadians came up with the whole digital-camo idea and research). The type of camo you have is useless if you aren't consciously checking your surroundings and moving to cover that's the same makeup as your gear. If you're in shadow, your light color cammies are going to be brighter than the surrounding area most likely... Etc.

Always be mindful of what the color of your surroundings are. Huge mistake made by most new/average airsoft players is "oh I'm wearing camo so he can't see me" (while wearing CADPAT AR in a field of GREEN grass).

So I'm going ahead with this trade for my broken G36K, also sending the guy some money to make up the difference in value between the two guns. This is what I'll be getting though:

Do CADPAT AR. Multicam looks stupid, in my opinion. Tan guns also go better together with CADPAT. Multicam is effective, but not as good as dedicated environment camo, and it doesn't match any gun colour scheme, not even a multicam gun.

Stop god dammit before I buy a SCAR myself or a MAGPUL.

@Warsaw: Multicam works best in a brown wooded area, the brush around here is great for Multicam because all the ground level stuff up to about 2 feet is always dead/brown color. However it's gotta work, special forces have been using it since 2004 it just wasn't publicly announced because the pattern works so well. Also, the white bits in Multicam make it a viable solution during the winter, at least in wooded or urban environments where there's also brown/tan stuff.

Like I said, every camo works well in every environment so long as you're moving to cover that work well with your camo.

@Spartan094: The Masada is pretty sexy, I like the SCAR a LITTLE bit more though hehe. I'm trying to decide if I should get an EGLM for my SCAR later down the line... BB showers are fun.

I didn't say it didn't work, I just said for a given environment, it's not as good as that environment's dedicated pattern, just like the M4 sucks for range compared to an M14 and that it sucks for CQB compared to a KRISS.
