Do you want our rating based on our experiment with the cammos?
Here is mine amyway
I use CADPAT.
Summer: I give a 5. It is perfect in summer. It melts in the backgrounds in most forests, grasses and bushes. It works within 25m if you stand still.
Fall: In fall it drops dramatically. If you are in a region where there are lots of leaf trees you are almost doomed to a 2. In a conifer environment it keeps a 4.
Winter: Here again in a conifer surrounding you are OK but it gives a 3 to 4 at 25+ meters depending on the density of trees. Your better to mix some white clothing or completely dress in white. In a leaf trees environment you look like a Xmas trees, without lights.
Spring - Early: If the grass hasn't started to green up and the leafs to grow CADPAT will be quite visible within 100 m, between 2-3.
Spring - Late: As soon as the leafs are out you ok you go gradually from 3 to 5, from 100- m to 25- m.
In the region I live, eastern Québec north of St-Laurence river, CADPAT is the best year round pattern because we have lots of conifer. In winter it is preferable to have white pants and/or upper CADPAT.
During a game, There were 2 guys chasing me and I decided to run accros a dirt path and hide in ferns. When I cross the path they saw me quite eaily but as soon as I got in the fern they lost visual contact with me. They were within 50 m, maybe even 25m. Of course they knew where I was, approximatlively. But I managed to take one out by surprise. Thanks to CADPAT.
