I’ve heard lots of people opine that the US Army will just have to put that camouflage improvement effort on the back burner due to sequestration. To the contrary, the argument is exactly the opposite. The Army can’t afford to not make the change. Every day that the Army delays its decision is another day that it wastes more money by purchasing additional clothing and equipment in UCP, a pattern that by their own admission doesn’t work. So let’s get going there Army and save some money by spending some.
It doesn’t really matter which family of patterns the Army selects so long as it is more effective than UCP and that its performance is backed up by empirical data. It’s time to end the dog and pony shows. Stop briefing each other on the decision and announce it already. The consequences of sequestration are already hurting morale. Give America’s Soldiers something to be happy about, a new identity and along with it the knowledge that their camouflage pattern is as effective as they are as a fighting force.
The “Invictus” PICO-DA in Kryptek Highlander will be on the TYR Tactical site in the near future and available through Invictus Alliance Group along with a series of products in the Krytek Highlander pattern.
The initial batch of custom camouflage Deceptex uniforms is ready for shipment. Manufactured by the Canadian company TacWear, these uniforms use a light weight (6.50 oz./yd2) 70/30 Polyester/Cotton Twill with 15%-18% woven-in stretch and are laid out similar to the new Enhanced Combat Uniform cut being adopted for Canadian Forces.
The Kryptek family of patterns is one of four finalists for the US Army Camouflage Improvement Program. In this video presented by Vertx, Kryptek Founders Butch Whiting and Josh Cleghorn talk about how the company came to be. They also explain the various patterns and their applications. This is a must watch if you want to learn more about Kryptek.
