Hello to you all from Canada

[Smoke and Fire]

Hey Folks,

Just a quick intro here....I'm from Ontario Canada...

I'm an 18 yr Veteran Firefighter, and a 6 year Canadian Armoured Corps Trooper ( Royal Canadian Dragoons, Recce Troop)

I'm highly impressed by the design that went into your Camo Pattern...

I'm well acquainted with the famous CAD PAT here in Canada...let me tell you that there are issues with it!...it's not all that great even here!...in heavy bush it's OK...in the more open fields / Prairies it SUCKS!!!!!

In my experience ( as the US is now rectifying with the issue of ACU-DELTA) their original ACU was WAY to grey....

As a Canadian soldier specializing in Recce ( mounted and dismounted ) during the 80's and 90's, we used to PLEAD with the higher ups to get us your DPM's....they were great....then we wore standard Olive Drab combats...horrible manufacture and colour...with really bad equipment..

Glad to see someone making such HUGE inroads in a modern CAMO pattern for multiple uses!..

Cheers on ya..


I'll be looking at some for hunting here in the wilds of Ontario!

Hi Smoke and Fire,

Happy New Year! Good to see you on here, and thanks for the intro and the kind words.

I love CadPat in the woods, it's one of the best patterns for use in dense foliage. But it is partly because it doesn't work out of the woods that I designed PenCott. It would be great to see how it fares out on the Canadian plains
