We took part recently in a programme on Monocle 24, the 24/7 internet radio outlet modeled on the BBC World Service and part of the same business portfolio as London-headquartered lifestyle magazine Monocle.
Lawrence, was asked to explain how the US Army got into the situation of needing to find a new camouflage pattern for its soldiers’ uniforms and gear. Then he and Guy Cramer of HyperStealth, were asked to discuss the question of whether this means that digital camouflage is “dead” because of the US Army’s UCP mistake*.

* And speaking of mistakes, the programme host mistakenly referred to Hyde Definition as designers of “traditional camouflage”, and described Guy Cramer as “American” (he’s actually Canadian, and from the same Province as Lawrence).
Our friend Florian over at Svensson Tactical Blog posted a series of photos yesterday featuring SABRE’s Gen.III Special Forces Smock and Sniper trousers in the “GreenZone” variant of our PenCott family of camouflage patterns. The location was “somewhere along the lower Rhine”, and its easy to see from the photos why the pattern is gaining such a growing following among law enforcement and military special operations units.
Here are a few examples from Florian’s photo-shoot:
