Wednesday, December 12th, 2012
CAMOCLAD in conjunction with Digital Concealment Systems has introduced a full line of options for large-scale vehicle and other applications available in both A-TACS AU and A-TACS FG Camo. Both patterns are now available through their entire product line including their newest innovation, CAMOCLAD Engineered Vehicle Graphic Kits. Pre-engineered kits designed and cast to fit specific vehicles.
“Cast vinyl provides better print quality and materials free of edge lifting, peeling, cracking and pulling away,” says Joe Warner, inventor, founder and president of CAMOCLAD “Both, the do-it-yourselfer and professional graphics installer will quickly realize the many benefits of our high performance Vinyl Graphic Kits.”
CAMOCLAD Concealment Systems manufactures solutions to effectively conceal a wide variety of military and tactical weapons and hardware from Tanks, Jeeps, Transport Vehicles, Watercraft, Command and Control Modules to Firearms, Spotting Scopes and everything in between. CAMOCLAD is waterproof, weather proof, scratch resistant and designed to perform in temperatures ranging from -65 to +225 degrees. These kits have been specially developed and are offered on a super matte vinyl substrate to minimize sheen and flare in harsh outdoor lighting conditions. Additionally, Both A-TACS Camo patterns have been specially developed and scaled appropriately to fit larger scale vehicles with a repeat size more than double most other patterns on the market. This minimizes the “step and repeat” effect common with large scale pattern applications.

Before Pixelated Camo Was Cool
Tuesday, December 11th, 2012
One of our readers shared this photo of a BDU jacket purchased in the mid-90s at a surplus store. The so-called Dual-Tex pattern was developed by Dr Tim O’Neill (LTC, USA ret) and was tested on uniforms as well as armored vehicles at the 2nd ACR in 1977-78 for urban warfare use. It was not adopted.
Thanks to Vince for sharing!
