search for a gortexy 'cammo' jacket

[Olaf]

Hi, I was hoping that someone could help me out. I recently saw a couple of very cool jackets in a cammo pattern that was sort of made up of loads of little squares ? Does anyone know what this type of pattern is called ? I thought it was good because you could get away with wearing it in public (on your way home from a stalk etc) without looking like a total sad case.
The jackets were a sort of Gortex shell job and had big collars and hoods on them, they were just what I was after. Does anyone know who makes gear like that ?
Your help would be great fully received.

Kindest regards, Olaf

I wear Solo International's ATP (All Terrain Pattern) based on current UK issue MTP (Multi Terrain Pattern) but warm, wind/waterproof and less than half the price -

Ian, thanks man. Its not quite the same though. This pattern was lots of little squares in green and brown and reds etc. I like your links though. Cheers

Its certainly not MTP that they were wearing if it has little squares or digital blocks on it. The guys that wear digital blocks are the USA and some European forces. Certainly not UK. The UK MTP is very similar in pattern to the old Green Woodland DPM of the Soldier '95 clothing system. But the colour's are now modernised to reflect advances in technology and theaters of operation. Its a sandy yellow, light green and brown pattern.
The only little squares that British wear are the rip stop garments but these little squares aren't noticeable enough to be the key identifying feature.

Hope it helps

Best bet is to jump onto eBay and search under camo jacket - all manner of US and mainland Europe patterns on there

That sounds very like German Flecktarn - do a search on ebay and there are a pile of mil surplus smocks and goretex jackets available in it for only a few quid. It is one of the oldest cammo patterns and actually works surprisingly well.

£250 for a well made jacket that will last for a long time? Not really.

No, the square stuff is American.
