No window licking or pigs looking at wrist watches here. No photos of stuff we don’t understand. No checkout stand tabloids. No walking up to a vendor and saying, “hey man, what’s that there thing?”. No spilling of national secrets either. Just solid info from over a decade-and-a-half of active duty experience in the community.

Every two weeks SSD showcases a different MultiCam print fabric from Duro Textiles LLC. This week, we are covering Omega. MultiCam is a single camouflage pattern designed to hide the wearer in varied environments, seasons, elevations, and light conditions. After a great deal of commercial success and adoption by elements of US Special Operations Forces, in 2010 MultiCam was selected for use by the US Army as its Operation Enduring Freedom Camouflage Pattern (OCP).
Duro’s Omega is a polyester mesh which offers a high tear strength matrix featuring a 2mm hole diameter. This means high breathability and the ability to look through fabric for camouflage applications. This product is commonly used for concealing vehicles as well as creating lightweight and high strength tactical gear. One place you will see it is on the new helmet covers from Crye Precision and FirstSpear. However, one of the best applications we have seen is Tactical Concealment Manufacturing Corp’s MCM Cobra with Hood which is a ghillie foundation.
Finished Width – 58 inches cuttable approximately
Finished Weight – 8 oz/yd² approximately
Fiber Content – 100% polyester
Mesh Holes – 10 per inch both directions
Tear Strength – 16 lbs typical both directions

Tactical Concealment’s MCM Cobra with Hood is a great ghillie foundation. It’s cloak-like design is intended for use as an “Assaulter’s Ghillie” and can be worn in conjunction with combat equipment such as armor vests and load carrying systems as well as low profile backpacks. Additionally, the hood is oversized to accommodate a helmet. Notice that the sleeves are short so that it won’t impede your ability to operate your weapon or other equipment. Finally, Tactical Concealment has bartacked a grid of 550 parachute cord along the hood, arms and back of the garment in order to add garnish and customize the Cobra for your own use.
