Really? Real tree camo **Palm In Face**
What do you fight for?
I don't hate Mossy, I just hate the fact he has more gear than me.

If it works, run it.

Wearing Realtree won't make you a lot of friends among the fashionistas. But hunters use it because it works pretty well in certain environments. Works better than ACUs on most of the fields around here, anyway.

what about this type of camo? a buddy of mine was in the army and has around 8 pairs of these, he said they were one of the first digital camo out and called them night camo. the tops are long, go to your thigh, but the pants all are really small sizes, 27-29 waist. Is this type of camo something anyone would be interested in?

It's made for use at night. It's got a bit too much white for most places. Also the sizes of "small waist" don't correlate to airsoft well.

Good old night desert digital. Designed to help defeat earlier NVGs. Looks pretty neat, but not the most useful outside of a period impression. Think Gulf War I.

I don't think that goes over too well in this community...


Shit, we had some kid show up for Faction Wars looking like a lumberjack. Matching plaid flannel outfit, very Monty Python.

Someone around here had one of those 3-color/night desert reversible jackets, those always seemed kind of cool. I'm told its really the only gucci kit soldiers got in ODS. I've kind of wanted one for a while. Shame the only people who seem to have got out of the Army after ODS were anorexic midgets.
The King Of al-Talk. Hey, at least I'm not a troll.

My dog wouldn't know what to do with a duck if she caught it, but she's cute. And hates Mexicans. +1!

Thats so true, the guy who has it is now around 240lbs, was at 150 when he was in the army. He said he got these from FT. Lewis, they were going to toss them in the trash so he grabbed a bunch. The coats fit tho, pants are just small.

I picked up this set separately from thrift stores:

To give you an idea for sizing I am 6'2 and slender. The parka is a medium and the trousers medium-regular. They run large because they are overgarments.
