Does it worth the $50 for a set?
I think I saw a thread on a cheap milticam before but I can't find it :oops:

Thanks

50$ for a set?..... that doesn't sound too good...

thephenom July 30th, 2006 00:41

For $50CDN, I would buy a set to try it. The material will most likely be similar to any replica BDU with 50% polyester and 50% cotton. Not the most comfortable gear at first, but you get used to it. And the great part, since multicam is already lighter than let's say cadpat, you probably have less fading problem.

BTW, where did you see the BDU set for $50?

Jackals July 30th, 2006 00:58

I have one of the "Fake" Multicam BDU tops and its pretty good shit. Its almost identical to the real stuff minus the digital fades between paterns.

If you want better shit and real multicam, check out Felix Tactikal (http://www.prelogik.com/felixtactik/main/page01.html) Good price for a full set BDU and its real multicam.

Deathcom4 July 30th, 2006 02:23

hmmm i wonder 50 dollars a set it looks good but i wouldn`t risk spending 50 bucks on that

Jackals July 30th, 2006 11:01

where does one obtain "Cheap" multicam?

CDN_Stalker July 30th, 2006 11:20

Ebay pretty much, but most of the retailers are out of Hong Kong. Greg said they are quite reasonable to deal with. I've compared the HK ("mulit-cam" I like to call it, seems to fit well) to the Crye material some of my clothes are made out of, it's close enough within a few feet, colours are decent, digital fades are much bigger though. For the price, it seems pretty damn good for the price, build, style and such. One thing I dont' like is the velcro used is more a yellow (kinda a saffron colour) than tan, but not a huge deal.

And I'll back the BDUs The_Cat has manufactured, I bought a BDU shirt from him, the workmanship is good, real Crye material, WELL worth the $168cdn per set (BDU shirt and pants) you buy it for, even better with the group orders.

Now I'm confused. I've seen those exact products on ebay from Hong Kong dealers (like the dump pouch, and camelbak copy). Are those in the real pattern too? Do you think they get them from a Chinese distributor?

Amazing KG3 July 30th, 2006 21:16

ill give a BJ for a 50 dollar multicam, someone needs t ofind that link.

You need a link on ebay?

A lot of multicam bdu are surfacing on ebay now, way more than before. Retailer wise, Redwolf has them for $50US + S&H.

But I would be interested to get a set for $50CDN shipped.

Amazing KG3 July 30th, 2006 23:11

redwolf, thank you!

Allright, let me lay it out more effectivly:

Fake stuff is pretty close to the real stuff, but IS NOT REAL Mulitcam. It is missing the Digital Fades.

The Cat and Felix Tactik use real Multicam LT fabric, slightly more expense, but worth the stuff. I just order a full set from him.

The pictures you see of me above I am wearing a the fake MC shirt but the Multicam on the vest is real.

Gordon July 31st, 2006 01:57

Ok, so is the fake multicam Hong Kong stuff copied from his products, or vice versa with real multicam (like the hydration pack and the roll-up dump pouch)?

Jackals July 31st, 2006 07:27

the Fake stuff is done up in ACU style and is a very close clone of the CP's Multicam.

MadMorbius July 31st, 2006 07:36

And THIS is why it's now known as Airsoft-pat.

pugs144 July 31st, 2006 23:27

Word. MultiCam = Airsofter. Even if the dude's carrying a real AR.

Amazing KG3 July 31st, 2006 23:32

its a retailer camo, no deployment actually uses multicam, its for whoever can buy it. Its still sweet... im looking into digital urban camo, but i think all my friends will hit me for giving them away in the woods.

mcguyver July 31st, 2006 23:41

204 Tactical has a repro-multicam set for $110 or something like that. I just got my set from Ken today, and I must say it's well built and easily worth the money.

And the best part is it fits me.

I've paid more for Tru-Spec only to have it fade horribly after 1 washing and fall apart after being worn about 10 times.

The quality is easily on par with my Propper ACU set and was half the money. I think there is even Marpat woodland and ACU stuff available as well.

And the fact that they are easily rated as the worst digi camo out there. :P

Amazing KG3 August 1st, 2006 11:36

thats true, im still going insane trying to decide on a type of camo.

Farmboy August 1st, 2006 18:23

There are actually Canadian LE agencies who use Multicam.

Amazing KG3 August 1st, 2006 21:40

yeah agencies

DropZone August 3rd, 2006 18:36

Gentlemen,

We actually ship case lots of our MultiCamâ„¢ products to Fort Bragg as well as to various Canadian law enforcement agencies as Farmboy claims.

Real MultiCam is made of mil-spec fabrics and in the case of apparel fabrics, vat-dyed as opposed to printed, as on "fake" uniforms.

If you have noticeable fading issues in just a few washings on a "modern" digital uniform it is NOT mil-spec hence fake....no matter what your supplier told you. Current mil-spec IRR fabrics are extremely fade resistant due to the stringent dye specifications.

MultiCam, the real stuff, is IRR and dyed on mil-spec fabrics and is infact used by special military and law enforcement units.

I hope this clarifies things a bit.

Kindest Regards
Brian Kroon

CDN_Stalker August 3rd, 2006 18:44

I'll add this that I've noticed. I bought one of the kick ass Drop Zone Recce Smocks from Farmboy (Brian reminded me of this), and one thing that might be mistaken as fading is the way cotton blend fabics are. Crye material doesn't fade, but the sharpness of a new garment will *soften* with a few washings, meaning that the colours are still there 100%, but the nature of washed cotton is that tiny little cotton fibres create a slight fog on top of the material. Anyone who has tattoos will know what I am talking about, if you shave the skin over the tattoo regularly, it'll looks sharp and detailed as the day you got it (ok, not 100%, but close) because the tiny guard hairs on the skin will soften the look of the tattoo, making it look like it's fading. Same with fabric, tiny little fibres fuzz up and make the sharp contrast slightly subdued, but that shouldn't be mistaken as fading. My Recce Smock has been worn a LOT, has been rained on, has been washed a half dozen times, it's softening, but all the colours and contrasts are still there. IMHO, it actually looks a lot better like this than when brand new.

MadMorbius August 3rd, 2006 20:20

I never said it wasn't. It is however, still known and will forever be known as Airsoft-pat.

Two points:

1/ Who said you said it was?

2/ Airsoft-pat: Who cares? Some love it and can use it well, others use it because it's fashionable, others buy it to wear when chairsofting. Seen enough pics of guys on the range, in gun training courses, etc. wearing multicam and weesatches, etc. firing off real AR-15s and having real ***** style handgun in their uber-cool drop leg holster. I'd say it's more "Civie-Cam" than just "Airsoft-pat". Besides, I'd much rather look like an airsofter than a paintballer! :tup:

Jackals August 3rd, 2006 21:21

Airsoft-pat who realy cares like stalker said. It is actually very effective and works well for some airsoft players and not so well for others. Its personal preference much like everything else in airsoft. Some like Cadpat, others dont.

As far as the Fabric goes, I have said these in atleast 3 different threads now, The Cat here on ASC makes Multicam BDUs aswell as many others using real Crye Multicam. This should not be confused for actual Crye Uniforms, but just the matierial. If you want a good and cheap alterinative to getting expsensive shit at a reasonable price for high quality hit him up with a PM.

SINN August 3rd, 2006 22:41

Dave's and Seals's use "Crye" Fabric to make their Multicam..the HK stuff is not real Crye fabric but repro. That is what some people on here are trying to say..

THE CAT August 3rd, 2006 23:24

Well, maybe this will help... In thoses pictures, you got both MC... At least, those I used to have or selling...
