Developed in concert with HyperStealth Biotechnology Corp‘s Guy Cramer, US4CES is considered a Digital Textured Pattern which utilizes shape and color to give the illusion of 3-dimensional shapes.

Multicam, but AOR2 and the US4CES Transitional are pretty good looking.
I always liked the original woodland pattern and the old SADF Nutria brown.
US4CES transitional is in my opinion the best
ERDL-green
Rhosedian, with Arktis tundra as a close second.
I think the transitional US4CES pattern honestly has potential. Would love to try it out in the field someday.
tri-color desert is classic
For the purposes of this thread, my favorite camo pattern is US4CES Woodland.
I started getting in trouble over my Multicam gear (2nd by a nose) in late 2005/early 2006.
US4CES Transitional
If I had to pick only one, it would be the Transitional as it is a happy medium.
Multicam and A-TACS FG
six color desert, while not perfect for the open desert, it was a semi-arid pattern and still holds up in some areas. That’s my opinion, at least.
I prefer transitional for is better disruption 😉
US4CES Arid! It will make a great hot-weather grill kit!
We might have to hold you to that!
Multicam…For what my eyes have told me in various environments. But more than willing to give this family of patterns a shot.
I like the US4CES Transitional.
Any ideas when commercial fatigues in US4CES will become available or the closest approximation in the Deceptex lineup?
BTW, what’s a “restricted placard”?
Multicam
I like the Transitional. Better then arid for a Canadian.
The ADS/Cramer US4CES patterns are my hands down favorites, especially the Transitional variant.
As weird as its gonna sound, Desert Marpat when it’s dirty.
Usforces is my pick, Kryptec looks too much like hunting camos and I cant picture the army wearing them, Brookwood just looks stupid. But im curious to see what Crye has come up with.
Currently loving ATACs FG.
The transitional looks the best, IMO.
Transitional! Bellissima!
Australian MultiCam. The US4CES Woodland looks as though it would work well in Northern NewYork where I have a summer camp.
Multicam
My favorite pattern would have to be NWU Type III. My favorite US4CES pattern is the woodland variant.
Classic Woodland ftw
I am digging the US4CES pattern. would like to see where it goes
I’m starting to really like US4CES Transitional, although in my urban area, I’ve been patternless for a lower profile lately…
US4CES Woodland.
US4CES transitional and ATACs FG
It’s got to be the GIJoe movie camouflage pattern

No, no, how about Call of Duty’s Honor pattern?

Who am I kidding? It has to be the spraypainted lab coats from Return of the Jedi!
US4CES transitional looks as it would work in the various locations CONUS and OCONUS (Europe). Having been at the NTC during the last couple rotations multicam seems to work well, but a bit dark for high desert. I’d like to see the comparison with US4CES there. If we as an armed forces have bought into digital, lets go all in.
Italian Vegetato Camouflage
US4CES woodland and transitional, both seem effective.
US4CES transitional is it
I actually think that transitional pattern up there takes the cake for me, looks perfect for my urban environment. Previous to that, I would have to say that I’m really partial to tiger stripe for dense green environments, and the desert DPM for a true arid sand environment.
So far, MARPAT was my favourite camo pattern.
MultiCam groupie here.
Marpat-as a former Marine I am required to say that
multicam all round; A TACS for desert
good ole Woodland
I’d have to say that multicam is my current all around favorite.
I personally like multicam as I have deployed and trained with it. However that does not go to say that it is the best thing out there Bulldog Equip. Mirage Camo is amazing as well. I do look forward to being issued the best camouflage pattern period. I am excited about US4CES aa I believe they will work well in there respective environment unlike UCP. Somebody dropped the ball on that one. And I paying for it.
I join the legion of Multicam nuts. However I have a soft spot for Desert MARPAT
US4CES camos, well lets see I like all three, but If I have to chose I’d say Woodland, but it’s kind of hard to say which is my favorite.
They all look like they would be great in their intended areas, but I’d go with transitional of the three.
I really dig the kryptek patterns especially the nomad
I’m still a fan of the pencott family.
