IIRC, the U.S. produced a night-time desert camo suit overlaid with a grid pattern. I can't remember the name for this uni. Supposedly, the grid pattern made the suit harder to pick out by NODs. Haven't seen the suits since the late '80s and early '90s so...
Does this mean they didn't work as advertised? Or what?

From what a friend said to me, the night desert camouflage doesn't work as well against newer night vision gear particularly thermal imagers. That's probably why it isn't still in use maybe?

"Night Desert" performed worse than every other camouflage (including overwhites) during some unofficial field trials. That is a shame I thought it looked cool.

I managed to pick up a couple complete sets of the Danish and Polish camos (including in Goretex) and have been spotted pimping both around town from time to time!

In the T2K timeline for Europe, probably the Norwegian and Swedish patterns -- always liked the lines of both. Though I liked the old Austrian camo that they phased out in favor of OD green back in the 70s I think. T2K globally -- some of the South African patterns from back then were really cool.
Real world, Multicam rules the roost right now, though there are some quality competitors out there and coming online. ACUpat gets a solid nod as they worst camouflage fielded since the French though baby blue overcoats would help hide their guys if they were skylined on the horizon. Oh, and the Soviet "Flora" and "Dubok" patterns are pretty cool, and would be T2K current, I think. Last edited by HorseSoldier; 05-13-2010 at 07:24 PM.

My brother and I were joking about the 90s and the fashion. I found an old loot table I made for NY. One of the popular items I had was sports cloths. If anyone remembers the parachute pants in NFL team colors in a camo tiger stripe pattern. LOL What were they thinking then lol.

The Danish pattern is/was extremely cool and applicable especially for their area of operations.
