So far, this year has been an awesome year for new camo patterns. Tru-Spec has continued the trend, by bringing out their new All Terrain Tiger pattern. I just got a set in to check out and wanted to give some initial thoughts. Tru-Spec did these under their TRU line. I've been a fan of their solid Coyote TRU's for some time now (see my dedicated BDU thread), so I had high expectations for these.
Some years back, I was running Tru-Spec's older Desert Tiger Stripe BDU's. I really liked the pattern and colors, but wished that it had a bit more brown in it, and came in something other than the 100% cotton that it was. The All Terrain Tiger is exactly what I used to wish for. Now, my current favorite is Propper's A-TAC FG BDU's, so thats what my basis for comparison of these will be from.
In departure from most of their other TRU offerings, instead of being 65/35 Poly/Cotton ripstop, these are 50/50 NYCO ripstop. I'm a big fan of 50/50 NYCO, so thats a plus for these right out of the gate. The stitching and construction appear to be very well done. Thats another area where Tru-Spec has come a LONG way from where they were just 8 years or so ago.
The colors in the pattern appear to be quite well done as well. The primary being a very good coyote brownish color, with the other colors being various browns and tans. On the surface, I think it will work quite well in the field. I plan on getting some pics of video of that up soon, so we'll see how well it does or doesnt work. My initial thoughts are that this should be a very effctive, and very versatile pattern.
Below are some pics alone and also along side Multicam, A-TACS AU, and A-TACS FG. I've heard a few people say that the ATT looks like multicam, but it doesnt look at all like multicam. Both the pattern and colors used are quite different. My only two druthers at the moment, are with the boonie hat and the combat shirt. I'd like to see a slightly narrower brim on the boonie ( the the wider one on it will provide very good sun protection) as well as a slightly stiffer brim. On the combat shirt, I'd like to see a darker body color that the tan used. Maybe something along the lines of the base coyote brown color in the pattern itself. A patterned based, such as the Propper A-TACS combat shirts have, would be even better. I'll try to offer some more thoughts after I get a little use in with them, and hope to get some video and such done in the next few days as well.
