Types of military camo - the history of camouflage in a nutshell

A good, apt, and (most importantly) alive soldier is one that is hard to spot in the field. However, it didn’t always used to be considered this way.

Military camouflage became crucial only when it had been noticed that the less visible a soldier is, the greater his chances of survival become. He would be more efficiently hidden, blended with his surroundings, and more difficult to be noticed for example by enemy snipers. This is why military clothing is usually covered with camouflage patterns.

The idea of camouflage originates directly from the animal world and those involved in designing new uniform patterns were scientists, photographers, and… painters. Their expertise and cooperation continue to bring effects in the form of new and increasingly efficient camouflage patterns, such as Multicam, Pencott, etc.

Even if you know the subject inside out, you could find something for yourself in our materials. And if you just like to wear camo pants, then see if we don't pull you deeper into the world of tactical clothing.
