The Newer Urban Camo
 

Seems on November 11th the company stated they are going to start making combat uniforms for sale. Would do you think of this camo?

Anyone planning on gaming it when it's fully released?

Remington released a shotgun in this new camo in February of this year:
http://a-tacs.com/wp-content/uploads...rod.ashx_1.jpg

Honestly I think it's bad ass...and I hate most modern camo patterns. This has an old school flavour I like.

Im actually debating on buying the shotgun from Remington :p

kind of looks like a tiger strip-multi cam.
looks good.id definately game it.

I think it's pretty sweet, doesn't have a designed look to the pattern, it just looked like really dirty khaki. Almost a WW2 look to it.

you hit the nail on the head there Mike, definitely has a WW2 feel to it while being modern, I definitely like it.

I've been waiting excitedly since I heard that PROPPER will be making these available in ACU cut in 2011. Been waiting for a while actually! I will definitely be looking at getting me a set!

exactly, it looks like a digital that went through a photoshop filter.
still a bit too bright for woodlands though

I wonder if the blurred edges will do as good of a job as the little squares.

How is it called?

Still ACU?

Exactly. This is what it reminds me of:

It's arguably reminiscent of the D Day 82 Airborne Pathfinder uniforms.

I like it.
I wonder how good it will fit with standard solid color gear other than CB.

Technically its called ATAC ACU although most are calling it just A-tac.

I'd be interested in an ATAC CADPAT :D

I LIKE IT!

and it seems to blend really well too.

Technically its what they call "organic" camouflage which is just like pencott which are in the same classification. BTW they are releasing this pattern in multiple varying hues so dont fret cuz they will release this in woodland... hopefully.

I like it, it's not a digital camo, although we all know that digi camo proved it's utility
Yeah, it's sick !

ATAC = the new Multicam

It was designed by Digital Concealment Systems along with Propper though :D

Eventually it will be available in woodland colors but at this time just the ACU colors.

already making clone items with that pattern too.

That is definitely a nice looking camo. I really really want a set :)

camo looks great. looks like a digital blend of ACU and desert. Will this replace multicam? Im not sure. But it looks very nice.

If you look close though there is a difference. The reason being is earlier this year someone released pictures calling it the new ATAC camo coming out. Turns out though those pictures were of the prototype ATAC which was slightly different than was released officially. Those clones are copying the prototype ATAC.

I'll be buying it. I suspect it will work great it dead grass fields Which is alot of alberta

A-TACS is a digital camo - just not pixelated.

For those of you who have lots of money to spend, Ehobby is making the PTS ACR in A-TACS (and Multicam):

http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/media/cat...-MC_1_mark.jpg

Old news, A-TACS was announced over a year ago.

Unlike MC, A-TACS is a being made a lot cheaper to license, which is why many companies have already added it to their lineup. A number of rigs and pouches are already on the market (TAG, among other companies, picked it up), BDUs are still rare and expensive but Propper has now picked it up and will be making BDUs in A-TACS in 2011.

"ACU" (the clothing pattern) and "UCP" (the camouflage pattern), while used interchangeably by laymen, should not be confused: A-TACS has nothing to do wit UCP.

http://www.tactical-life.com/online/...acs-0001-1.jpg

Upon closer inspection, this camo is essentially a digital multicam, but with slightly less green.

i want to see a side-by-side comparison of ATAC and MC.

EDIT:

So far every environment that they show ATAC in, is similar to what CRYE shows MC in.

ostensibly, both are equally effective:

http://a-tacs.com/in-the-field/

I never said it was new just newer. November this year is when they announced that Propper will be producing the line for sale in Spring of 2011, starting with ACU, slings, packs, boots, etc. Combat Shirts and Boonies will come at a later date.

IT IS NOT DIGITAL!!!! for crying out loud it does not have a digital pattern! it is organic! look at it! its not pixelated or squares! look up pencott and it is basically like the same concept! Andt plus one to drake! this pattern has been released a year ago! been eyeing it since forever! And the manufacturing of it does not follow patterns like what they do with digital stuff like cadpat or UCP.No they manufacture it differently.

Edit: Yeah ITS tactical actually announced that propper was making this available in ACU in 2011 last month. And yes I was freaking out like a tween who is at a Beiber concert!

I like it....I'd definitely game it. BTW...that Remington shotgun looks bad ass indeed.

Digital is the way the pattern is produced. So yes, A-TACS (like Multicam, probably Fleck too and most other modern pattenrs) are digital.

What you mean is pixelated, like UCP, CADPAT, etc.

Also, A-TACS is a family of patterns. There won't be one pseudo-universal pattern, but instead several in different color schemes (urban, jungle [more green], woodland [green brown], desert and probably an artic/winter one too).

I think you forgot to take your Ritalin :D

As for being digital or not, technically it could be classified as digital as it is organic pixelization. It's designed by using a mathematical algorithm to create these organic pixels. DCS states this themselves :p

Atac has been around for a while as others have stated, however this camo is not as universal as you think. Its more black and khaki in person than the photos show. The camo swatch that was posted shopwing green....don't look at it because in person it doesn't show up.

As for the pouches, they are pretty nice looking, EXCEPT for the MOLLE color, it sticks out a lot, in a bad way. I personally like to mix ATAC with coyote to look better and break things up.

Uniform wise, it'll work great in winter woods with minimum snow, urban environments such as MOUTs or decayed cities. Also the Desert is ok but I still prefer the A'Stan issued DCU with a slight hue of pink.

thanks for the input. if that's the case, ill stick with tried and true MC.

Yeah if it helps, look at some spray painted SEAL kit from A'Stan, basically the grungy black khaki coyote they do is what ATAC is based off.

I remember seeing this stuff about a month or so ago and I loved it ever since, I cannot wait to see all the patterns they are going to use. I like how it uses the reflect the environment around it to blend like multicam.

Fuckin + 10000 that shit with greener colors for the bush would be awsome if it happens to come out i think it just might be the new team colors.

Squeeeeeeeeek!

damn i really want those bdus, gonna be damn expensive tho

A-TACS is working on five different color variations (desert, arid, woodland, etc.) based on the "new" (or "new old"?) US Army requirement for different colored camo for different theaters. I'm going to be at the Shot Show in January, and should have some pics and info after that.

now one of us gotta figure out how to duplicate it and do it for the guns, and isnt ATAC part of 5.11? i might be wrong so some one correct me please.

This actually looks quite easy to reproduce if you look closley it almost and by almost i mean close enuff looks like it can be done with some chunks of sponge kida like faux finishing a wall but on a smaller scale and looks like at least 4 colors.

EDIT: shoulda kept that to myself FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

I'm just waiting to find a place to get it, Mirage too. This is very cool effective camo IMO



+1

For anyone looking for A-tacs furniture for your m4...

http://cgi.ebay.com/Dytac-A-Tacs-SOP...b#ht_595wt_905

It seems that some of the bdu's are out now. http://www.predatorbdu.com/

ok i'm ordering...... damn being on sick leave from work is expensive....

"WINNING" Definitely made by a person with "tiger Blood"..........in all seriousness I will buy a set of that for sure, much better than the digital ACU by far. Reminds me of the German WW2 colors kinda like their "Water Fowler" camo...

I give it a perfect 10.0...Must buy for me..

My bduset on the way. Predator bdu has a free shipping code for UPS. I am still paying broker fees. 120CANFREE I had to spend at least $120 to get it

they should just rename ATACS to "dirtycam". looks like someone was rolling around in a puddle of oil. :P

Almost looks like the colours for the urban ghille the home guard had, but for Grey cinder blocks rather than brown/red bricks.

http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/b...0/DSCN6539.jpg

Hahaha, this thing is awsome. But it got some chicken wire in it. Must be hard moving around with it!

Its made of sewn together Burlap, and I can let you know once I have made mine if it is.

The Chicken wire is used in a 2 to 2.5 foot in lenght and 9 inches in height. You use it to create a blind in front of you by inserting foliage in the mesh.

id be interested in seeing it with cb vest and stuff, id consider using this stuff.

It looks cool, but like any camo they show you pics where it blends the best.

This is going to turn in to the next fad, and every 120lbs Asian kid is going to have $1000 worth of atacs gear and clothing by next year, and most of it will come straight out of Huang's shop.

I'll pass.

You will find that said for any camo and of course there will be Chinese knockoffs but that doesn't ruin the integrity of the actual original pattern. Just look at this beast. Far beyond my pocket book

Good to see an actual picture and not a semi-photoshopped one on the company website!

This pattern looks a bit sketchy to me tho, like it was once solid OD green and someone splashed bleach on it.

Time to get some Multi-Cam LOL

It look like a blured Real Tree.

Edit: Here is my crappy 5 minute render of A-TAC like patern using real-tree as a base. Intentionnally turned the colors more green.

http://thahmw.bay.livefilestore.com/...RAP.jpg?psid=1

Add more blur and remove the ovious branch patern and you got ATAC.

Had mine for about a week and a half now :D

Offensive ? I sure hope so. MOUHAHAHAHAHAHA !

Tactical Assault Gear Banshee plate carrier.

Also had a thread since January : http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=116986
:D

Looks like smoke or clouds...kinda cool!

Looks like a camo from one of those "futuristic" fps's. Maybe active camo..ish...

What do you think I'll be using for my project ? :D

Wow FOX, you aren't kidding.. Blurred 'real-tree' for sure.

I will have some pants this week, so I can see the real deal first hand. I thought some of the images from the SHOT show were actually better than those on their website. This carrier included!

I wish the plate carries / chest rigs / whatever from TAG used the camo molle like the plate carrier picture from the previous page instead of CB. It would look sick. Hopefully, mines get shipped out this week from PredatorBDU.

Want this! does anyone know if any of the gear is available yet ie: vest, boots ,etc? So far i've only found the BDUs and boonie.

its really not that new. people where actually using this in the field a long time ago...


..... in a galaxy far, far away!

Rebelcam!!

hellz ya!
Return of the jedi was on Spike last night, i started cracking up when i saw the cam. i never realized before!

and if you look at the Star Wars camo ...that is just really WW2 German Camo like Sumpftarn

Bingo

The Germans basically invented 100's of patterns, even the Americans came out with few good patterns in California during the 40's. But all in all the Waffen SS really ran with it and pretty much made every pattern you can think of...None of these patterns are new, accept for digital element but the camo colors used have already been done. Really it doesn't matter, just make the pattern that best works with the terrain you happen to be in is always the best solution but is not always accessible or affordable either...

What I really like about some of the WWII (German SS) stuff is they made reversible smocks , Green one side and Tan/ brown the other... I think that this is a brilliant idea , I know the Israelis also have a oversmock that has the same idea.

the Russians also adopted some of the WWII German patterns with the same reversible nature

My Pants came today. Just waiting on the coat. Camera phone image a little blurry.

I like some patterns here...

I was just checking out some new Roggenwolf they put up with the Urban Pattern. It is pretty unique. Reminds me of Pencott but grimier.

Finally here !

Now I should get some proper footwear.

Those Danner A-TACS boots :3

Not sure, the pattern is awesome but I think I'll go for CB or OD/TAN mix just so I can use the same pair with multiple camos.

A-Tac your rifle too.

A-TACS I don't know but it will get painted for sure ;)

I love the camo.. I think.. but something is bothering me that I can't figure out.. It might be that the colors are so similar, that you'll stick out due to it being the equivalent of one color (at longer distances)?

Not really : look at a distance something like dry grass : that's the same color yet A-TACS blends well in it.
I'm gonna make a few tests but that's way more effective than my 5.11 digital woodland (and by extension MARPAT) just looking at it.
Plus at a distance everything blurs including the environment so that's not really relevant.

Got mine today....awesome, will get pics later.

Anyone else notice that the hats are a bit smaller than advertised? My 7.5 is snug when that size usually fits fine.

I notice that too, I'm a 7.5 and its a tight fit but it fits fine. The damn cuffs are HUGE for some reason or maybe it's just me.

Seems like Ranger Green would match the best.

Anyone else's jacket zippers suck?

more like modern day leibermuster, this is definitely my favorite...

I'v been waiting for ever for Mirage to become available to the public. Venom tactical (Bulldogs sister company) should be releasing the pattern on some of their gear soon.

+1 i second that, I actually like most camo's out there, but just don't like buying them when they become played out. I like multi-cam and finally bought something in that color this week, but will be all over this mirage when it is available.

Even the new Chinese pattern is awesome, but it was ripped straight from the Germans again.lol.

A-tacs look's pretty cool. So many different camo's on the Market today :o

I prefer Coyote Brown on it.

Now I just need a helmet that has A-TACS on it... lool

I want bulldog (mirage) camo.

+1
In Texas that would work amazingly...

I only have A-TACS pouches right now but I think multicam would work well on it too, just my rank and nametag blends very well on it.

Hell yeah, during the "winter". Also it depends on where in TX you live. Works great all year round in West TX (El Paso). Off on the east side (Houston) All the vegetation is tooooooo green. CADPAT worthy

Hello, this is my first post ever, woo. But do you guys know what kind of Knee Pads the guy in the very first picture was wearing? The camo looks pretty sexy by the way, I'll probably pick up a few items in the summer, if it's fully released by then.

Alta kneepads in A-TACS, I don't know where to get those.
But the BDU is equiped with knee and elbow pads pockets. 5.11 neoprene ones fit well. I tested with the ones normally in my 5.11 TDU.

I believe those hatch ataks kneepads are in A-TACS as well but I cant seem to find any accessories that are in A-TACs.. or maybe they are still releasing them.

I've got my A-TACS Propper ACU (ACU, or Army Combat Uniform, being the style pattern of the uniform, ARPAT or UCP is the camouflage pattern) shipping May 25 (yay preorder) and I'll be converting my entire kit to A-TACS. I'm also ordering in 500d Nylon to make some custom items for myself.

I've managed to source almost all accessories for everything thusfar:

http://www.predatorbdu.com/categorie...System-A-TACS/
http://store.tactical-performance.co...outerwear.html
http://www.tacticalassaultgearstore....wproducts.aspx
http://www.lapolicegear.com/a-tacs-p...irts-camo.html

The only things I've not found were small things like gloves, face wraps, knee/elbow pads and helmet covers. They'll be inbound shortly, but for the time being they're not in production. The above list is just minor compared to the list of stuff on the a-tacs site, but it's the ones that have everything for sale you could need. I'm looking into getting nametapes made and if I can confirm that, I'll source you guys a nametape company that'll do them in A-TACS.

Any pics with this big loadout?
