Thanks to TACWRK, here’s a sneak peek of the upcoming CONCAMO Brown which will soon join the Green variant, currently available.
TRZIN, SLOVENIA (28t h February 2019)—UF PRO® said today its range of best-in-class Striker tactical gear will be offered in an innovative camouflage pattern that provides cloaking effectiveness like no other thanks to its prowess at sending subconscious brain signals into disarray.
The new pattern is called CONCAMO—or, “confusion camouflage”—which employs a novel and highly sophisticated design to prevent the mind from correctly making sense of information supplied by the eyes while gazing in the direction of a CONCAMO wearer, according to Armin Wagner, head of product development for UF PRO®, maker of advanced- technology jackets, shirts, pants, hats, caps, and accessories for military and law- enforcement units.
“CONCAMO scrambles brain signals way down deep, at the subconscious level,” Wagner explained. “It does a remarkable job of keeping wearers hidden, even when they are literally just meters away from the observer. It makes the wearer invisible to an extent that really must be experienced to be fully appreciated.”
Wagner said Striker tactical gear available in CONCAMO will include:
• Striker HT Combat Pants
• Striker XT Combat Shirt
• Striker XT Combat Jacket
• Striker Gen.2 Boonie Hat
Striker tactical gear, he noted, is a favourite of Europe’s elite special-forces.
“We think CONCAMO will be a huge hit with our customers not just in Europe but far beyond,” Wagner offered, adding that Striker products are recognized the world over for their extreme durability, superior comfort, and extraordinary utility.
CONCAMO’s patented special pattern arrangement features 8 colours blended through various elements and shadings to produce more than 60 layers of perceivable depth,” he continued. “It’s an incredibly effective concealment system that works beautifully in a spectrum of environments—forests, grasslands, deserts, mountainous snow country, even urban areas.”
Wagner indicated that CONCAMO was developed in Germany by respected designer Matthias Bu?rgin.
“Bu?rgin was just 17 when he designed a very effective collection of
three-dimensional camouflage nets,” Wagner said. “As an adult serving with a
special military unit, his knowledge of camouflage patterns and the science behind them increased exponentially.
Later, back in, civilian life, he acquired expertise in perceptual psychology and applied those insights to the design of advanced-technology camouflage patterns. CONCAMO represents his current pinnacle of achievement.”

According to a report from Agilite Tactical, the Israeli Defense Force has abandoned their long anticipated efforts to adopt a national camouflage pattern. The main reason is an overwhelming concern by troops who have worn OD for over 70 years, that they would be mistaken for enemy soldiers who wear camouflage uniforms.
According to the report, “The IDF’s Technical and Logistics Directorate ran a pilot wherein hundreds of combat troops and officers tested the uniforms over the past 10 months. The uniforms also featured a new cut and fabric which were judged by testees to cause high levels of discomfort.”
At least for the meantime, the IDF will remain OD.

Empire Wool and Canvas Company doesn’t do anything halfway and their Arctic Anorak is cut long to use as an impromptu shelter. It’s made from a tight weave of pre-shrunk 6 ounce organic Cotton Canvas to cut the wind but allow moisture to escape. It will also accept dye if you need to alter the color.
The hood is large enough to wear a helmet beneath and features a one-handed cord adjustment. The interior of the visor has a light layer of poly fleece so your breath won’t form an ice cave around your face and the hood accepts a fur ruff.
The design features modified Raglan sleeves and a long skirt protects the muscle mass in your seat and thighs. There is a zippered and bellowed chest pocket set high so you can wear an external belt. It also has a reach through port for accessing gear or water bottles from your inner layers. The cuffs seal with hook and loop tabs, and slide inside the gauntlets of handwear.
