British Multi-Terrain Pattern Effectiveness

In this video we test the effectiveness of British Multi-Terrain Pattern (MTP) in a heavily vegetated woodland environment. By watching this video you should get a good idea on how the pattern preforms in this type of environment while both stationary and moving.

[@ponraul1221]

MultiCam’s excellent color palette combined with the superior brushstroke DPM pattern is a winning combination.

[@Dragon_W0LF]

As someone who owns both Multi Terrain Pattern & Multicam I couldn’t agree with you more.

[@proudtobeautistic]

I'm impressed at how effective British MTP is, surprising considering that it's color scheme virtually the same as US multicam and yet it outperfomed it. In my opinion MTP was way more effective than multicam and my favorite thing about it is that it was effective at every distance it didn't black blob. Great job man keep up the good work.

[@G1NZOU]

DPM has always been a very good camo, and combined with the excellent coloration choice of Multicam seems to be a winning combination.

[@Mugofbrown]

If I understand, it was a pattern started in the US then adapted by the British. There's a fine history of that sort of thing happening in both directions.

[@noshame7472]

@@G1NZOU Not sure which enviro you are talking about with regards to Multicam but you got to understand the limitations of the camo to best see that it needs to be moved on.

[@G1NZOU]

@@noshame7472 Multicam has some limitations, but what are you talking about it needs to be "moved on"? The UK did a great job by doing it right with no nonsense when it came to change camo from DPM to MTP, they spent money wisely and changed to something that works. Meanwhile the US kept changing camo, adopting different camo for different services, and then changed its mind and partially went back to sharing camo across services, each time they did that they spent more money. MTP will not work perfectly in all environments, however it works well enough that it won't need updating to a new camo for a long while yet, there are way more important things to spend money on in the MoD right now like new frigates, new nuclear deterrent submarines, new aerial and underwater drones, a replacement or fix for the new Ajax vehicles, and potentially a new self propelled howitzer. Just changing camo for something better every few years does not provide adequate improvements for the cost of replacement, it just doesn't make sense.

[@noshame7472]

@@G1NZOU Hi No worries I understand what you mean and agree. But when have you ever seen the Army keep something that works? The industrial military supply machine is already looking at phasing out MTP/OCP as well with a date to do this, Sorry. You know and I know that contracts take priority over real time 'what might work', we are looking at moving back into the digital realm again, as my sources tell me in the MOD and aboard? Just look at the stock market spec's and the jigsaw puzzle this is? MTP/OCP was only made to replace another contract as it will happen again in a few years time. Sorry man that's life? Not sure what they got but a different type of UCP will be coming as in digital or something not sure.

[@TheOutdoorman40]

I love DPM, but when wet, it looks almost black. I noticed this many times in the field. After seeing this video, I'm sold on the new pattern.

[@G1NZOU]

Same, I've seen a more recent photo of a joint training op with French soldiers, and while the MTP looked just fine when wet and blended well with the mud background, the CE camo the French were wearing had the same problem of looking way too dark when wet that DPM had.

[@alexmcdowall9562]

Same with me I joined the paras in 2005 and have done several tours of Afghanistan and Iraq and while I love dpm I’d say mtp is much better. From what I have noticed most people who complain about mtp complain about everything that changes in the army the “back in my day” type. Although I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss that desert dpm camo

MTP is awesome camo I got full set in my wardrobe so comfy.

[@user-fi8vn1vy9g]

I love your videos. Funny how staying away from bright colors and just being still is perhaps the best camouflage. I know that a deer standing still is hard to detect even though it is a solid brown animal. As a hunter, I've noticed that movement or lack there of is the most effective way of being undetected; however, blending in is a crucial element. I appreciate your videos and think you are doing a great job. Please keep up the good work.

[@fakecubed]

Deer have much worse vision than human beings. As long as you wear a disruptive pattern that disguises your silhouette, they are easily fooled. Check out the work being done over at Sitka with their Optifade patterns.

[@feldgraufox4927]

Deer are not a single blob of colour though which is also why they blend in seemingly anywhere

[@KingdomHiker]

When this was first issued I had my doubts, but I now think its better than Woodland DPM. Woodland DPM is too dark. I still think Desert DPM in a desert setting was very very effective, and in that environment maybe the best camouflage I've seen. I dont think the MTP fills that need so well.

[@Brent0331]

***** I saw British troops in Iraq back in 2003 and 2004 in Desert DPM and it looked like a very effective pattern. I'll say down in those areas we were in where it was primarily desert, MTP definitely wouldn't have been a better option. However, when I was in southern Afghanistan there were areas that were literally lush with vegetation like Vietnam and then there were areas as dry and open as the deserts of Iraq all within miles of each other. In that scenario I think the utility of having a pattern like MTP definitely is the way to go.

[@KingdomHiker]

OK. Thanks.

[@G1NZOU]

Definitely, DPM works great in a thick dark forest, or jungle, but everywhere else the MTP tends to outperform it, and with thick foliage you can somewhat counteract MTP's disadvantage by using extra brush and branches to camouflage yourself, out in the open where you'll be relying on your camo exclusively in the absence of concealment I'd rather have MTP.

[@archiepreston6503]

It's bloody good stuff tho it was DPM in my day. DPM is still effective in the right environment altho most people don't realise is it was designed primarily for fighting in the dark forests of East Germany, Poland ect during the cold war and fir jungle warfare hence the darkness of the colour dyes.In a jungle environment the MTP has been proven to be too light and ineffective compared to DPM for concealment

[@toritori4430]

Dpm was spot on for Europe environment , This looks like a drunk designed it for hiding around a garden pond it's all wrong for Europe , You stick out like a sore thumb in evergreen forests, in winter you might aswell wear neon and in summer lie in the long grass because it just doesn't work against tree foliage either . Absolute trash of a design to think this replaced Dpm is a travesty .

[@marcustrevor1883]

@@toritori4430 Yes but it is used in arid environments now, the idea was to get rid of the need for 2 separate uniforms for desert and woodland. Hence 'multi terrain pattern' I've worn both, I massively prefer MTP. DPM is still available for special forces that operate in jungle environments.

[@koolyman]

There was the lighter jungle variant of DPM in the past, though they seemed to have phased that out come cs95. I guess by then we had a smaller, less active army post cold-war. I saw a lot of videos of soldiers invading iraq in woodland DPM and that was as bad as anything, if they kept the jungle variant it might've helped them a little bit in Afghan and Iraq pre-MTP.

[@Backs4more]

@@koolyman tropical DPM used much brighter, vivid colours than standard DPM. I brought a load back from Brunei and wore the trousers when on exercise as they were not lined and dried a lot quicker than the standard lined DPM. It was very different in colour.

[@dragomirpetrov1134]

I have this pattern and an old US M81 woodland , in South-eastern Europe forests the MTP stands out like a lemon at times vegetation here is pretty damn green, but the good old m81 fits almost perfectly in these parts. Great video !

As another Eastern European (actually, I think the guy who posted that comment is from the same country as me) I can say MTP is great for our terrain, because it's a bright pattern. Most wooded areas have a combination of green and grey colours and MTP blends in perfectly!

I use Brit MTP here Norcal for a variety of reasons - the colors and patterns do well in the local bush,it's not US issue, and Rhodesian can't be found ... I use the style w/ vertical pockets on the breast (velcro) not the pockets w/Cad. buttons. Standard trousers. US multicam items fill in where I can not get Brit items w/ good enough color / pattern match. Great videos Brent !

[@isbee56]

MTP and Rhodesian Brushstroke share a heritage, they both are related to the original brushstroke pattern on the denison smock, MTP being the child of it and DPM

[@jamess6961]

They should make them reversible. Old for dusk or dull days. New for clear sunny days. Just a thought....

If its dull or dark, your camo will change the same way as your environment and its sunny and bright the same applies

I think MTP is better than DPM, mainly because it reflects its environment rather than DPM trying to emulate its environment

[@desantos1234]

it's more effective, but that's just the colours. The pattern looks shitty and ugly with all those blotches. I wish we just had DPM in MTP colours. DPM was the best, I still like wearing MTP though as I know it's more effective, I have more trust in it

[@koolyman]

Yeah there's very little chance of making it look any more like DPM, especially because of all the fading between khaki and green. Definitely the MTP is more pleasing to look at up close than Multicam. You can see the DPM heritage in MTP.

[@desantos1234]

+koolyman actually looking closely at the pattern, it looks just like DPM, it's just the white and dark brown which has the weird blotchyness which throws it off

[@StevenTheAristolianNerd]

MTP is a lot like OCP. Both used in Afghanistan. It's funny how two forces get put in similar circumstances and come out with different but similar patterns.

[@justdoit4834]

That is what happens if all copy the homework from the A-student and try not to come along as if they copied it straight. So they make minor changes to not be caught.

[@G1NZOU]

@@justdoit4834 Not quite true, the UK approached Crye with the idea that since MultiCam performed well overall in testing, they wanted a Brit variant which still showed the British forces identity up close with the DPM pattern elements, so co-developed MTP. Same reason Australian MultiCam is a MultiCam variant but with BunnyCam shaped elements to it and an altered colouration to match Australian environmental colours, camo uniforms are triple purpose, firstly they blend and conceal, secondly once you're actually spotted by an enemy they break up your outline to give you a split second before the enemy's brain realises they're looking at a human target, thirdly once you're up close and spotted by friendly allies they can look at your uniform which identifies you as belonging to a certain branch/country. If everyone used MultiCam there'd be too much confusion and possibly friendly fire if the enemy also used it, so variations in pattern for recognition are a good thing.

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

MTP and Multicam is an interesting evolution of the basic M81 Woodland and DPM, not sure if it is an improvement though.

[@HankDCFC]

I respectfully disagree, they are both more similar to Flecktarn not in the colors as Flecktarn is darker but in the shape of the colored sections of the pattern. DPM and Woodland have much bigger sections in the pattern. I like them both, they work good in VA in summer but not so much in the fall where Flecktarn is better. One thing about the actual uniforms The british ones are way better quality and more functional and they also have a lightweight version which is great in a hot sticky VA summer and a standard version whick is equivalent to the US Multicam. I've used the US issue and Propper and Tru-Spec and none of them are as good as the PCS issue MTP.

[@koolyman]

@@HankDCFC Yes the US tend to make their uniforms in a nylon-cotton blend, but the UK tends to issue theirs in polycotton - which comes out as light as pyjamas

[@rogue_spirit]

@Dimitri Dragunov Me being able to spot the guy's position in this video most of the times (because of the lighter uniform colors) makes your comment quite valid. Still in lighter spots MC is truly excellent!

[@rogue_spirit]

@Dimitri Dragunov Agree! I hope they come with something like such, or even better, i.e start developing active camo materials for personnel :)

[@rogue_spirit]

@Dimitri Dragunov I think you misunderstood the "i.e" I wrote. "i.e" is the equivalent of the word "meaning". So what I was saying is "they should start developing active camo for personnel", I wasn't referencing myself for sure 😏 For the time being, there is apparently an alternative from a company called UF-PRO especially their uniform of multiple IR spetrum invisibility, have a look: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqe3Y4emqdqknNk ... It sure looks very nice but the commercial video neglects the surrounding terrain temperature which would make any moving shape with different temperature stand out in thermal scopes/imagers. Also check their website ufpro.com and scroll down a bit for MC/Flecktarn/Concamo side by side pictures. But if you want to see real adaptive camo check the *amazing* 👍👍 stuff from Canadian company Hyperstealth www.hyperstealth.com/ ... I was checking them since many years ago but their multi-spectrum light bending tech "Quantum Stealth" is top secret and wasn't shown to the public. But now (after losing a large contract with a bureaucratic US Military who apparently dropped invisible uniforms project [www.hyperstealth.com/Quantum-Stealth/index.html .. news updates down page] and after registering their patents) they have plenty of videos on the website explaining their tech. Videos are taken in office environment using panels of the classified "Quantum Stealth" version, but imagine those portable light bending panels being used in a jungle scenario! That is some actual "PREDATOR" movie kinda stuff, would be too awesome to watch! 😲 They also have great uniform/vehicle/buildings camo patterns, check them out.

I just watched this and the ATACS AU pattern vids and wow do those work well, I watched some others like the German rain pattern the Flecktarn the Woodland camo and I could spot you most of the time, at least 70% on avg and some of them almost 100% but the multicam/british MTP and the ATACS are amazing I just had to guess, I picked the most odd looking thing and assumed it was you, and I was wrong most of the time. I probably was getting your position right 35% of the time with those two patterns. Ive mostly got multicam stuff, and live where the terrain looks alot like where you are, except it stays pretty green in the winter so im very happy with my choice.

Next time you test a camo, don't wear any big olive green stuff on your belly, this is what give you away, makes you darker and your movement more visible (because of the contrast with the lighter general MTP camo color)

Ian Deakin I agree, there is no doubt that a pattern designed for specific environments are more effective in their respective environments.

For these really lush environments like mine I would look into some of the modern military patterns like MARPAT, CADPAT, ATACS FG, or if you’re looking to save a buck and still have an effective pattern look at some of the older surplus patterns like Woodland, Tiger, DPM, Flecktarn, etc. I like MultiCam and MTP but if I was looking at just one particular environment and didn’t need the versatility that those two patterns offer, I would go with a environment specific pattern.

[@SnakierElm62]

[@Brent0331]

Its hard to say man, I can tell you that the Multicam PART 1 video was filmed very earlier on when I started doing these videos. With that said in those days I did a lot more filming of scenes where I didn't have any natural vegetation interfering with the uniform to help break up the outline. I started changing it up a little bit after that video in which I have more of a mixture of scenes where the degree of exposure of the uniform to the viewer varies more.

[@TylerLL2112]

I'd like this pattern but colored like OCP. I don't know if it would be as versatile but in this environment, it would work very well IMO. Also, it wonder why they changed the pattern to be like a hybrid of DPM and multicam. VS using the sharper DPM pattern which I feel is more disruptive. I have a MTP combat shirt but, need to pick up some DPM also.

[@EagleTwoSix]

How about testing MTP in fall/winter time?

[@Mugofbrown]

Cheers. I was reluctant to get this camouflage as I do alot of wildlife watching on Salisbury Plain and don't want to look like a Walter. However, thanks to you and other on KZbin I brought one as the camouflage is brilliant for the Somerset Levels and the Forest of Dean. Just have a question about the cut of the jacket. Has this been copied by other militaries? I "hunt with a camera" I love the way that I can keep photography kit, 2 x 300ml Lifeventure mug/flasks in it (any idiot can be uncomfortable!), snacks and an Israeli dressing. I also love the hand warmer pockets. I pair mine up with my Alpkit thermal jacket in cold weather. Costs about 30 quid, if faded I rinse it in olive green dye then reproof in Nikwax and lets me get close to my photography targets.

[@fakecubed]

I'd say this is marginally better than multicam/OCP, but only just. I'm not sold on it, at least for this sort of environment. It's too flat, not enough macro pattern contrast to break up the human silhouette. Spotted you quickly in most of them.

[@johnwayne5598]

what do you think about scorpion and multicam, is there a huge difference

[@Brent0331]

I don't think there is a big difference from what I've seen, I think the MultiCam is little more detailed than that of the scorpion pattern. Other than that I don't know.

[@johnwayne5598]

***** okay thanks and thanks for always replying man

[@dazinthesticks]

Cool video Brent, spotted you a few times, your head and shoulders tends to lighten up to much in bright light, but it is still a good pattern. Makes a change from the old DPM. Cheers.....atb.

[@Brent0331]

Thanks for watching brother.

[@johnrichardson353]

I'm going to be one of the dissenters about the effectiveness of MTP after seeing this video. It just seems too light. While others have commented about it not going black at a distance, it seems to me that it goes white. In most scenes, my eye was drawn to where you were before you moved because it was the light spot. It might work better later in the summer when the foliage gets that more faded out look pre-fall.

[@phillipgardner3297]

Nice

[@giooodaplug7988]

What camo would you wear during a shtf or wrol situation?

[@Brent0331]

+Bob Rice Just depends on where you are. For me, in my envirnoemnt I would probably say I can't go wrong with M81, Multicam, and ATACS FG. I'm not saying that those are the best, I just think that those general patterns have a lot of versatility in my environment.

[@giooodaplug7988]

+Brent0331 Well said thanks brother.

[@ivanindahau4783]

It’s pretty good, the only real complaint I have is that depending on the environment, if it gets wet it looks a bit too dark.

[@honeylover3742]

Which is your favourite?

[@Psymon1471]

i actually instantly spotted you on the first shot and on a couple other shots I saw you pretty quickly. Impressive camo anyway but is a little too light when you are in shadow/darker veg

[@fakecubed]

The main issue is the lack of contrast to break up the blockiness of the silhouette.

[@lowlandloco2010]

Can you do a video with asat camouflage? I wanna see that In action

[@a4t976]

Pretty good, as it isn't insanely dark, but I'd say that the colors could be slightly more saturated.

[@ashwilson3261]

funny u posted this,im looking for a smock cant decide dpm or mtp. ive seen all ur vids,my AO is like urs N.C. any thoughts?

[@Brent0331]

That smock is a great piece of gear, it's what I'm using in this video. If your area looks like mine, just watch the two videos on DPM and MTP and hopefully that helps you decide. Thanks for watching.

[@fredpark8059]

***** , is the smock system better than the ECWCS system for carrying stuff? I am thinking of getting a dpm smock for $37, is it worth it or should i get a ecwcs parka?

[@Brent0331]

Depends on what you need it for. The ECWCS gortex top is water proof, I think the parka is just water resistant. The two are really nothing a like, I would compare the parka more to a old M65 field jacket (but lighter). The parka is a lot quieter than a gortex top too.

[@markanthony4655]

As I have posted on your previous DPM video. The MTP kits looks too light for a UK environment . I saw you several times before you moved towards the camera. My neighbour who also likes going into the woods and practising Bushcraft prefers the MTP, but I prefer DPM, especially as my jacket/trousers are now well worn in and faded a little to take away any sharp shapes/colours. To me it looks like the UK Government went the way of combining camouflage patterns, so they didn't have to issue separate kit for UK /European woodland and Desert use.

[@stevebarlow3154]

The MTP pattern was specifically designed for Afghanistan. Whilst the desert DPM worked well in arid areas, it didn't work in the lush green irrigated areas. So the research scientists came up with a design that worked well in all areas of Afghanistan.

[@electricpuha4824]

looks like NZ defense force will be changing from their MCU pattern to NZMTP some time this year. The MCU was only out for a couple of years had to many complaints apparently.I recon it is a smart decision. By the way Brent what size is the smock you are wearing compared to your height and chest size cheers mate.

[@howardheffernan1574]

Top video, clearly shows that despite what people say about it not blending well with green it does and does it well!

[@jamespiller274]

I wear this camo at U.K. Army cadets and on a night exercise, my section were prone in the foliage and the enemy patrolled within a metre of us and never saw a thing of us.

[@maxie706]

you see the issue with that is that a person could be wearing hot-pink and not be seen in the night, it doesnt change much

[@GerryAirways]

I did that on day time down to 2 meters undetected on the DPM whilst prone and standing still. Nighttime, I got to within 5 meters of my CO in front of him before detected... on open ground. MTP better for hiding movement though. Only had DPM on my CCF days back then.

[@johnbraithwaite1019]

mtp does glow in the dark when compared to dpm though

[@thealmightysloth4457]

Army cadets get up to some shit wish I done it now oh well joined the real army haha

[@Almirjaffa]

We want now review of PENTAGON grassman, so we can compare British MTP, Multicam, and Helicon-Tex Camogram. All 4 look very similar, but still significatly different. My vote already goes for Grassman as it incorporate more of green which MTP lacks.

[@neilcastell6951]

perfect environment for MTP. developed by Crye Precision for the british military, the home grown MoD multi terrain pattern developed, just lost out on the final field trials,

[@Brent0331]

Good deal brother, thanks for the info I didn't know that.

[@neilcastell6951]

***** google: Hybrid DPM .. it occasional pops up on ebay,

[@ceasium98]

so when I was camping in the woods once I had my sleeping bag in a waterproof cover with MTP pattern. one morning during take-down I lost it and panicked. I then tripped on it. It was right in front of me and I couldn't see it.

[@ScottyM1959]

what part of the country are you in Brent?

[@Brent0331]

North Texas.

[@ThinTheHerd78]

You must have some sort of lend lease deal with Sportsmans guide lol. I'm going to finally get around to posting a video this weekend.

[@Brent0331]

Lol, I actually picked up these utilities from MajorSurplus.com. The next video I post will be Belgian Jigsaw, those came from the Guide though. :)

[@fredpark8059]

***** BELGIAN JIGSAW! lol, only thing that blends you in with is the circus,lol jks.

[@HankDCFC]

I was amazed how well MTP did better than Multicam I think. I also prefer the UK uniforms as they have a lightweight version for hot climes and the pockets and design are better than the US designs.

Where did you buy those?

[@AirsoftReviewArgentina]

Somehow I missed this video of yours... I just released a camotest of the british desert dpm but this one is a way better choice and an improvement for the soldier (I guess)

[@Brent0331]

+Airsoft Review Argentina There has been a good amount of British surplus making its way into the U.S. over this past year. I was able to pick up several articles of British MTP , DPM & Desert DPM at great prices.

[@Irishknightable]

I was just wondering are you planning on testing any WWII Soviet camo patterns?

[@Brent0331]

I have some Green/Brown Amoeba, just not sure if i'm going to do one over it or not.

[@Irishknightable]

Awesome if you do decide to test a Soviet WWII camo I recommend the leaf pattern.

[@koolyman]

***** Do some Soviet and Russian camouflages please

[@Tremulousnut]

Have you tried the UBAS (under body armour shirt)? That sweat wicking material is better then most found on the market today, and the latest generation even have camouflage printed in the sweat wicking "shirt" portion, which most UBAS shirt out on the market don't - A big advantage as it allows you to wear it without armour, or not stick out like a sore thumb when you wear a chest rig.

[@Brent0331]

Tremulousnut I've seen them I just haven't tried them out yet.

[@Tremulousnut]

Try to get the newer stuff, the one with the camo printing on the sweat wicking "shirt" portion. The new UBACS even have a protective lining on the collar to reduce injuries from fragmentation.

[@talon115]

Multi cam, done right.

[@robobaby41]

spotted you every time :/ still love mtp tho

[@fakecubed]

Yeah, MTP doesn't do well in this sort of environment. Put it in Afghanistan though, and it probably works quite well. I feel like all of the patterns designed to be one-size-fits-all are terrible outside of fairly arid, rocky-terrain environments.

[@blacktemplar2377]

I spotted him everytime he got up
