Fieldtest – PenCott Metropolis (urban camouflage) part 2

Fieldtest – PenCott Metropolis (urban camouflage) part 2

Ausrüstung / Zubehör , Bekleidung , Review

Please take a second and take a look at this GoFundMe, if you want to support Pine Survey. Thank you! Introduction Recently I wrote an extensive report on PenCott Metropolis and presented several pictures of it in an urban environment. At then end of said article, I promised a follow up field test and here […]

Two quick pictures of @atacscamo FG. There won't b Two quick pictures of @atacscamo FG. There won't be more, as I do not have a full set and a review would not make much sense.

First picture without IR Illuminator and wearing @pencottcamo Greenzone pants by @helikontex 

Second picture with a cloth of 100% cotton Jersey with an A-Tacs fg print (some die hard followers might know that one from one of my first articles 10y ago).

The Smock is second hand, so I do not know how many washing cycles it went through. That being said, the performance is not that bad. The pattern itself is not as visible as one might wish, but that is an A-Tacs issue anyway. However it is really interesting to see how much darker the cotton jersey is.

Shoutout to @lunox.nvision !!!

Spending the day out in the wild, collecting some Spending the day out in the wild, collecting some mushrooms and enjoying nature. Actually wanted to take some review pics for the @anvknives M311 comp, but we ended up finding more and more mushrooms and our focus shifted a bit.

Still I managed to take this great shot and I must say that the M311 comp was a great companion today.

For those interested, my take on the new cooperati For those interested, my take on the new cooperation between @miltec and @phantomleafofficial is open access now.

Lots of side by side and first impressions from the newly introduced WASP I family of Pantomleaf patterns.

While the follow up article on "camouflage and nig While the follow up article on "camouflage and nightvision: expectations vs reality" is still in the works, I finally made use of all the content I was able to create thx to @lunox.nvision 

This is a Patreon exclusive, looking at the performance of the Austrian Tarnanzug Neu and its performance in the NIR spectrum. Don't expect this to go public, as it was quite a lot of work to do these pics.

That being said, this picture is showing the excellent color separation and remission properties of the uniform.

Aaaaand finally I got it in my hands. The M311 com Aaaaand finally I got it in my hands. The M311 comp, the smaller iteration of the M311 Spelter by @anvknives is a much welcomed alternative to the considerable larger version of this design.
It still fits perfectly in the hand, it feels much faster and I am really looking forward to taking this into the woods asap.

I did a side by side pic not only with the M311 Spelter, but also with the P200 in order for you to get a better feeling for the dimensions of the knife.

You know what... let's do a pic with the camo off You know what... let's do a pic with the camo off center and not in focus so you get an idea what it is like if you don't get it presented on a plate. 

I usually place myself in a way to be easily detected, in order to present a clear picture of the camouflage pattern as well. Too often some people mistake that for a bad performance of any pattern - not having in mind that you walk through a setting or environment and being aware that there is somebody.

Excellent blending and disruption, what do you think?

After sitting on it for weeks/months I finally pub After sitting on it for weeks/months I finally published the article on camouflage and nightvision. This one is open for all, but the subsequent articles will be Patreon exclusive. 

My goal is to dive a bit deeper into the topic of NIR, night vision, etc and make it a bit understandable. So I am starting with some crude basics, and I hope to clear up some misconceptions in the future. Separate articles on various camouflage patterns will follow as well.

Shown here is @phantomleafofficial WASP II Z2 without IR Illumination on. It is an example of what is to come and I have to say a huuuuge thank you to @lunox.nvision for helping me out with a PVS-14.

Without them, this simply would not have happened - period.

@miltec did an excellent job with the print and as you can see, the pattern perfectly blends into the environment and disrupts the silhouette of the user. Additionally you can see a camouflage net of Mil-Tec. As I have tightened it quite tensly, one can see the straight edges as well as the shadow it casts. However, with some more thoughtful implementation, one can get an even better performance.

Not a field test pictures as it was taking with 80 Not a field test pictures as it was taking with 80mm focal length and a bit edited, but a cool picture of @phantomleafofficial WASP I Z1B pattern.

@miltec released several useful items in  three WASP I colorations and those of you who couldn't afford Phantomleaf before might consider looking at these.

Personally I like the camo nets the most, as they offer the option to conceal gear and smaller sites.

However, keep in mind these are not NIR treated! It is called Civ-tec for a reason.

Right now I am in the process of taking a closer l Right now I am in the process of taking a closer look at the WASP I camouflage family by @phantomleafofficial. As you can see on the pictures, these differ in color to the WASP II while at the same time having a similar feel.

From left to right:
Z2 - a semi arid pattern, which is the best looking in my opinion. I still have to wait for a drier environment to test that one.
Z1B - a pattern for rock desert and mountains is really effective. Yesterday I did a field test and was blown away.
Z3A - a green and brown dominant pattern that is best for mixed and deciduous forest and also proved to be very effective so far.

On the second picture you can see that I arranged the three patterns in a way to be able to see the pattern with the different colorations.

I have to say that @miltec did a great job with the BDUs. The fabric itself is comfortable and the print is excellent with good contrasts. The uniforms themselves are well made. It is a pity that these are not NIR safe though. This was a feature that was left out to keep costs down, as there were many people demanding a more affordable solution by Phantomleaf.

More info soon, so stay tuned....
