That stuff is shit. I bought a few packs to add to my ghillie and when it arrived I found out it's pretty much useless. Too fake/shiny looking for a ghillie. The bags themself are about 10in by 10in.

Shit, you can buy it by the yard now. Spend the $15 and shred it yourself if youre so inclined.

Dude, if you're an expert you should know shouldnt you?

Parklands is making US-style BDU's in a cadpat material that is suspiciously like cotton.

[soldiers301]

0k, but no I didnt need to know that, I not interested in US stuff but in Canadian stuff.

If you have seen 100% cotton CADPAT it was certainly fake one.

All CADPAT stuff is made with : Nylon/Coton Twill
Polyester (Fleece)
Leather (Goatskin 0.9mm for gloves)
Goretex outer shell

Parkland's Canada makes CADPAT patterned US BDU style uniforms. A local surplus store owner who sells the Frontenac stuf said the Parkland's stuff is "illegal" based upon his conversations with the Frontenac-brand owner. Take it as you like, was only told to me.

Parkland's CADPAT is a thicker, stiffer cloth, cotton/poly blend, and isn't dyed all the way through. It's white on the inside, the pattern is more drab looking than the Frontenac and issue material. I'm happy with my Frontenac, glad I never bought the Parkland's stuff, that's all I have to say. Only Parklands I'd buy would be a pile of the remnants, as I said, to make a winter ghillie out of. Otherwise.......... I'll wear my Frontenac til it's toast, and I'll either buy another set of them, or some issue stuff if I can find for a reasonable price.

Thanks.

You're still not making any sense, anyway. BTW I manufacture gear, and I'm well aware of what's REAL and what's not. The pattern is quite genuine, although the material is not uniform issue-grade. FYI there was a large dye run of Cadpat by the Canadian Gov't on materials OTHER than the standard 50/50 blend for testing and field use. There are also plenty of offshore mills producing "nearpat" cadpat-like knockoffs where the light green is even lighter than the licensed stuff.

For the record, good BDU's are good BDU's. Just because something is "issue" doesn't necesarally mean it's better. In this case, the issue stuff is almost certainly better than the knock-off or Frontenac stuff, but much of the equipment made by offshore manufacturers in "nearpat" is actually far superior in construction, design and function to that produced by licensed manufacturers such as cpgear. Many of the "digipad" products made by SoTech and other manufacturers kick the snot out of the current issue TV for example.

Other than 50/50 NYCO material exist, but 100% cotton is not used for making issued stuff. Im able to tell if its real or fake CADPAT me too, I even see a difference in the 4 lot of material delivered to DND.

What I was saying is that the CF have never used 100% cotton for issued CADPAT stuff. Test version is possible but illegal if you can buy it anywhere.

Its sure that if you pay more than 200$ dollar for a pair of pants it will probably be superior than issued stuff, but imagine the cost for about 60 000 pair of this pants for CF member.

Do you have any picture or website where I can see Parkland CADPAT stuff ?

[CDN_Stalker]

Here's a typical example, the Parkland's CADPAT boonie.

No where near the best quality out there, but if you have CADPAT pants & shirt, the Parkland's boonie at least fills in decently, better than Jungle Stalker I'd assume. And in some places the Parklands stuff is a bit cheaper than the Frontenac stuff. As far as I'm aware, 95% of the MARPAT out there for sale in stores is made by Parkland's as well. Not 100% sure, but 95% is damn close. I think an owner of MARPAT (I agree with Greylocks, it looks like "Sidewalk Pizza" pattern, just without the carrot chunks that appear out of nowhere) said it came with a Parkland's Canada tag attached to it.

Parklands is made by a company in the GTA named (hope I get this right) Sylvan North?? I know they make knock off Cadpat, Marpat, Woodland, Urban, Black, Tan, OD, Blue. They also make the knockoff SAAV pattern LBV's in alot of colors as well. They don't have a website last time I checked, and I am not sure if the sell to the general public or not. They also have Boonies and Patrol caps. A few places in London sell it....Forest City Surplus, Flagswipe paintball, and Civil Defense. Those are the only spots I have seen it for sale here so far.

Frontenac material is real CADPAT, but this material have not passed the DND test and was sell to Frontenac to made some uniform that have different looks and spec. than the issued one.

Less fading, but less durability too in the Frontenac stuff.

Dude, i'm not trying to troll here but we KNOW. There are 7 pages of posts here explaining what you keep repeating. You're not telling us anything we don't know!

Sorry, I'm really not trying to troll and flame but you're not giving us any information we don't already have, ya know?

[soldiers301]

Sorry I didnt know. But ask question I will answer.

If nobody have question on CADPAT, why did you continue to post in "CADPAT Question" forum ?

[Nuck]

because you keep posting senseless drabble.
