Types Of Camouflage Evaluated

I have been wanting to get some new field attire, and I think that the old-school US M81 Woodland is best for my environment, even though the others would also work. These are the camo's I looked at:

The top picture looks best imho. The other seems more obvious.

Chris,
Those are the close up photo's. If you check out the web links there are several photo's in different situations and distances.

Personally, for surplus camo patterns, I heavily favor German Flektarn. I haven’t checked availability lately but I have a surplus German rain suit in that pattern, it’s a gortex type one with pants/bibs and a jacket. Around here it works exceptionally well in all but winter environments.

Ryan,
Looks like a good pattern. I live next to a Army Surplus store so I usually buy what is on sale. My current setup is Urban Tigerstrip since I live in the city, but unless you are colorblind I think that pattern would stand out in the woods. I do have a coyete tan fatigue shirt along with some olive colored fatigue pants, that is my woods setup right now, plus it doesn't look out of place in an Urban Enviroment, i.e. I don't look like a wanna-be Militia Memeber that way.
