Are/will these be approved for use by the US military?
Considering they are not even finalists for the US Army Camouflage Improvement Effort, and no other service is actively seeking a new camouflage, I’d say “No.” I’m curious tho. Why did you ask?
Is there a timetable for when the camo family will be revealed? They said before “early december”. I don’t think I can wait much longer, the anticipation is killing me.
I can not remember the last time I anticipated the release of a camouflage system to this degree. I have been following the progression of this through SSFN for quite some time. I am stoked that a US Company is presenting this.
Like they say.. Shut up and take my money!
Made in Slovenia and being field tested by “Allied Special Forces” makes it sound like the Slovenian Special Forces, which in turn sounds like the smallest special forces force in the world.
The Slovenian ESD are pretty checked out. I would imagine that since the Slov’s developed the product they would certainly wish their top guys to trial it. Field use by great operators is hardly a detraction on a product.. regardless of the size of their military. I’m sure they face shoot bad guys just as well as Western Forces.

Finally! Can’t wait!
Bill, the Material is printed on in Slovenia. Then material shipped to the US and the gear is manufactured here in the US.. . . I don’t really think it’s the size. . . . . (isert pun). its how effective it is.
Good thing will still rock UCP… Those uniforms will never blend in well…gees
This is one of the most effective camo patterns on the market. I only hope they dont sell everything before they take my money. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
