Desert Tiger Stripe Effectiveness

[@LefteyeRighthand]

The more I watch your vids the more I am convinced that patterns based on browns, tans, and grays are by far the superior performers except when exposed to the greenest environments.

[@nicholashodges201]

That's the thing. It's *always* about matching with the environment. I live in the eastern Midwest. You'd stick out like a sore thumb for half the year wearing this stuff. It's way too brown

[@kingofthefleetians]

That's what I've always found to be the case, if you look into the woods when there's no leaves its kind of a hazy brownish grey. The swedish m39 uniform matches that color almost to a T and my set has let me hide from people both in woods like that and tan grass with ease

[@Caleb-F]

3:22 blew my mind

[@crumply5959]

Its definitely the perfect balance between effectiveness and style

[@Wingman115]

Great video! I've always been a fan of Tiger Stripe this color blends in really well. Thanks for taking the time to post.

[@Brent0331]

Thanks man.

[@hrdknox2000]

These are EXTREMELY effective for this application! I only saw them once before when I was thirteen or fourteen at Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimeron, NM. This would work well in my neck of the woods in Wintertime.

[@justsomeguy3931]

That pattern is the coolest uniform I've ever seen. Normally, I see you most of the time before you emerge. This time, I couldn't see shit! I'd say it's super effective. I appreciate all the work you put into these, thanks

[@uberschultz9212]

I have the desrt tiger, and it is a great multi-eviro pattern in the western US. Lighter colors aren't good at night though because you can catch movement against darker backgrounds.

[@straightwarlock5341]

Uberschultz there is a tiger version with black lines which makes you almost invisible at night as well. Magic.

[@Socpro2b]

Something I feel people misinterpret is that black actually makes you blend in during the night. NO it does not I think people don’t understand the bright camouflage that blends in during the day with ALSO blend in during the night just as well if not better Becuase the camouflage darkens with the environment on the other hand black makes you stick out Becuase your just a body shape of a different shade a black and it doesn’t mix well.

[@lowlandnobleman6746]

That’s generally why many police forces use dark blue uniforms instead of black uniforms. Both will stand out during day, but the dark blue more accurately matches the night skies.

[@boot556]

[@riverrat2993]

talked me into buying a few sets. thanks. awesome tiger stripe pattern.

[@Brent0331]

anthony kaczmarek Glad I could help, this is one of my favorite patterns during the fall and winter.

[@aaronmunn2918]

that pattern seems to work very well, probably one of the better patterns I have seen in your videos.

[@woof132]

wow! great video man. really wasnt expecting desert tiger to be that good. i am amazed how well it blends in. thanks for the vid

[@Brent0331]

Thanks for watching.

[@allritythen]

This is like a live version of where's WALDO. Nice video. I was only able to get you one a couple. Good work.

[@terryshackelford712]

That camo seemed pretty good. I think it would work pretty good here in central nothern Cali.

[@jjj0309]

Man, this old school pattern blend better than other modern day tacticool camouflages. Good ol' Macro patterns FTW. Gotta love tiger stripe.

[@Brent0331]

Its a good one, I generally wear this or ATACS AU during the fall/winter.

[@benbeals8479]

Thanks for this video. I came across it while researching desert tiger to see if it would work for exactly the environment you were testing it in.

[@sergelucas2258]

You are a serious expert in camouflage...very surprised how effective tigerstripe is...

[@madams3110]

I use this camo in California's Central Valley. Blends in perfectly with the endless dry fields here. Nice video!!

[@Brent0331]

madams3110 Thanks

[@georgiabowhunter]

It worked great for me in Afghanistan. It also works great for late season hunting on the east coast.

[@psychoguy2922]

Underrated Camo

[@Brent0331]

Agreed

[@aredman22]

This is one of the most effective camos that I have seen you test; and I thought tiger stripe was obsolete.

[@Brent0331]

Yeah man, Desert Tiger is one of my favorite in the fall/winter.

[@coppertopv365]

Tiger Stripe isnt Obsolete, it was Effective Once, and that Effectiveness is still there. Great in Florida Back Woods and Hunting.

[@proudtobeautistic]

When it comes to camo I know you're really big on saving money by trying to find the best deals and lowest prices. And I think that's smart, but if you're ever willing to splurge I strongly recommend that you get some elusion camouflage. It's the most advanced most realistic camouflage I have ever seen, it's a non-printed non-repeating pattern that uses natural coloring and the creator claims that all of the patterns are multi-season/multi-terrain and that it's fadeproof. It is expensive but it's definitely worth it, I just ordered some and I can't wait to get it, when you get the chance you should check it out.

[@LefteyeRighthand]

Gotta give cred. This pattern kicks everything else for that environment and that time of year. You do immediately stand out though as soon as you move though.

[@WorldwideBushcraftSurvival]

I think I got more wrong than right on this one. That is really impressive camo. Tanks again for making these. Hope all is well.

[@SuburbanNinja-yr1mc]

I have to say I love this patter I tested it my self in my ninja videos and Airsoft I barely go shot at with it on.

[@kurtbaier6122]

I bought the desert tiger bdu for the fall here in the mts of VA. It works amazingly well at close and distance with leaf litter prone or in the back ground., and fields with brush. Thanks Brent for the vid! The JWTiger works well in spite of the black here also in the summer and early fall when I tested it. However, I believe I will be able to use the ATACS FG through almost 4 season use. So that will be my next purchase. Marine dessert dig was to bright, and Marine woodland dig was to dark in the summer. The Marine woodland dig works good in the fall here but not when the leaves are down. The brown tones seem more noticeable in the summer and in the late fall winter the green tones stick out. Buying the next size up with any BDUs can help with layering for colder temps. Your vids helped me make a good purchase.

[@WaysOfTheJedis]

Can you please do the ABU digital tiger stripe pattern 🙏

[@irishknightable9168]

Awesome videos man, you should get some coyote brown fatigues and make a video. Coyote brown not only blends well in a desert's it also blends well in woodland environments during the fall and winter. It's basically the brown version of OD, I wear it when ever I got paintball fighting and my opponent's always have a hard time spotting me.

[@Brent0331]

I have some, I may do a video later on.

[@coppertopv365]

A Deer is Brown, a Brown Bear is Brown.. I knew a multi Brown Colored Camo, or a camo like This Would be very Effective, I liked how this worked..

[@neil_castell]

great camo ... first time i've seen it,

[@Brent0331]

Yeah man, Desert Tiger is one of favorites and it has actually been around for a while but you don’t see it too much.

[@captainpegs0740]

I forgot all about this pattern. It works great in these settings.

[@Brent0331]

+Captainpegs07 I concur.

[@nouhachouiter2974]

suprisenly a good camo pattern

[@AirsoftReviewArgentina]

I've just released my test on this same camo and came to your channel for reference. BTW this video is 6 years old! And you still are The Master Yoda of Camouflage!!!

[@kurtbaier6122]

I bought a larger Bdu top to layer under. Great pattern.

[@kurtbaier6122]

Can't make up my mind now. FG and AU or JW green tiger and desert tiger. Thanks for the vids!

[@muslimninjaassassin2498]

Kurt Baier I say up north Desert tiger for the win

[@pop401k]

I think these are even better than the chocolate chip pattern...very nice.

[@kurtbaier6122]

I decided not to go with the ATACS AU or FG and bought the DT instead. It blended better and it is a lighter fabric. The lighter fabric dries faster, is better for layering and better on those warm fall to early winter days here in the mountains of VA. The ATACS on closer inspection are heavy weight fabric. I get too hot with activity and heavy fabric is only suitable imho in winter here. Definitely leaning toward JWD T, but after seeing your brown dominant ERDL vid I want to see if I can find a set. Been running cheap foam knee pads 1 oz each for about 2 years now. I like them better than the Blackhawk ones I bought 10 years ago. Thought I would pass the tip on.

[@Brent0331]

Thanks brother, glad I could assist with your decision making process. Finding Brown dominant ERDL is going to be a challenge though unless your a small guy. Your also going to pay a pretty penny, Ebay is going to be your best bet for it.

[@coppertopv365]

I DO, Wonder about the Brown Tiger Pant and the Jungle Tiger Stripe Camo Top Effectiveness... brown or green Tee shirt, and possibly the Brown boot How bout it Brent!

[@ThatOnePrankster]

do urban tiger stripe

[@jerryrichards8172]

One of the deadly ones.

[@Overwatch9]

Very effective.

[@frankdodong3983]

great job

[@Brent0331]

Thanks man.

[@coppertopv365]

6:53 I caught you the Quickest So far.

[@kurtbaier6122]

Most likely could buy a set of desert tiger and green tiger and mix and match tops and pants as the seasons transition to blend and break up the human form. Seems like the desert top with green tiger pants would work in this vid as well.

[@leaddispenser9]

Kurt Baier ive seen pics of guys in the British army did exactly what you said with the dpm patterns and it worked out well

[@Warvvolf]

Kurt Baier I've used that effectively as well. Light pants blends into the dirt. Dark top mixes with foliage.

[@woodsranger2007]

The choc chip wins bya hair or leaf. The splotchy dark brown breaks up profile better and creates a natural looking shadow. The DTS is slightly lighter but did well with the gray brush.

[@Brent0331]

Yeah, The dark reddish brown in the 6 color desert is what is doing the trick for it in this environment. I was playing with 3 color desert today and its tan is just too bright, without the dark red brown like six color it just doesn’t blend in very easily.

[@raptureready1982]

Where do you purchase your camo uniforms?

[@troycarty658]

As a former army sniper, who wore camouflage clothing on a daily basis. I do agree that environment based colors are the key. However, in the unfortunately famous words of Bob Lee swagger "Camouflage is something you do, not something you wear".

[@meanjune]

Hey man great videos like always! I was looking through KZbin one day looking for camp videos and you were my hero! This may sound stupid, but I was wondering if you can do the WW2 British uniform. If you can it would mean a lot to me!

[@Brent0331]

Sorry man, I don’t have that particular uniform to test, otherwise I would.

[@semiephemeral9]

Brent, is anyone making uniforms in 50/50 NYCO? Thanks.

[@GTK3392]

How does it look when viewed through nods? Anyone ever find an NIR compliant version?

[@chrais78]

I like it a lot

[@joeldierwechter6877]

***** could you do a multicam test in these conditions in these conditions, I saw your summer test of it, I wonder how multicam would perform in these conditions

[@Brent0331]

Just finished filming it bud, I’ll let you know once I upload it.

[@joeldierwechter6877]

alright, thanks for letting me know

[@Brent0331]

[@muslimninjaassassin2498]

Joel Dierwechter Not as well... call me biased.

[@TheMetalMachinist]

where do you even find camos like this? i need to get my hands on some

[@Brent0331]

Noah Hildreth shop.vtarmynavy.com/categories.aspx?Keyword=tiger+stripe

[@moonangelsforever]

Five times I saw him in green dark shade area 8 Times I didn't see him in light brown tan area This camouflage is real effective in places where he has been in.

[@anthonyfreemont8175]

Desert tiger stripe was reasonably effective but I still think chocolate chip was the most effective. In my opinion desert tiger would be great for hunting in marshes and open grasslands because throughout the video I noticed it excelled the most in the dead yellow grass.

[@Brent0331]

Its pretty effective here in the fall/winter, I usually either wear ATACs AU, Desert Tiger or 6 color desert during that time of year.

[@hanburgundy4317]

Pretty good pattern; the stripes don't always work, though. I think the choco and muticam did better. Great job!

[@Mojocvh]

Yep higher contrast in the choc chip worked better IMO...

[@SuburbanNinja-yr1mc]

+War Machine In some places Mutucam sucks in... In the east it really sucks in. How ever Winter Desert is king and string - Early Fall. Green tiger is boss in the East.

[@ianhartgrove5934]

Comparing your Desert DPM and Desert Tiger Stripe videos, Desert Tiger Stripe wins. They may be similar but DTS is more effective

[@Manomed3]

Big boss is that you?

[@jerryrichards8172]

In the golden rolling hills of California you can disappear at time I'll put a multi cam as a blouse when in the manzanita and scrub oak there nothing better.

[@subninja8069]

From my own testing this fucking works least in Center Indiana in the fall.

[@AmericanGuys100]

If this camo works in central Indiana it should work in the Southern part of the state

[@subninja8069]

AmericanGuys100 Crouse you looking at the times of the year... Then again Southern Indiana isn't any different than Central as you said. Other than you all can Grow Sabal Minors palms without protection... Lucky basters.

[@straycat62]

THE least or AT least?? Hard to figure out what you are meaning.

[@1bassman2007]

Which uints, if any, wear desert tiger stripe?

[@Brent0331]

1bassman2007 I don't think any units do now a days. There is a picture though of some British SAS guys using Desert Tiger Stripe, I'm not sure when it was taken or what theater they are in at the time.

[@1bassman2007]

Thank you, and, I appreciate the vids!

[@steviebleckley]

***** Some ODAs have used desert tiger stripe in past deployments in Afghanistan:)

[@SuburbanNinja-yr1mc]

+steviebleckley I still think Afghanistan is sand blasted Vietnam

[@psychoguy2922]

It wasn't ever a main stream pattern, however, many CIA SAD guys wear it, as well as some Green Berets, SEALs, and SAS guys. It saw quite a bit of use in the Persian Gulf, most SEALs would go for this instead of the chocolate chip or DCU camo, as they believed it to be more effective. It's still used here and there today.

[@Naiuhz]

Spook(y) camo
