    Guys

    Picked up two sets of BDUs recently. the first is the vintage tiger stripe type (not me in the pic)

    and the second USAF ABU

    I'm trying to figure out which camo pattern would best suit. I know ACU will go with the ABUs but it wont with the tiger stripe. would i be better staying with OD?

    I'd go with either a tan or od vest or belt rig.

    OD goes with everything almost.

    ACU rigs don't even look good with acu uniforms, never mind anything else.

    Just my opinion.

    Tiger stripe patterns are very specific and will not work with any other patterns you best bet is an OD rig a surplus yoke wbbing shouldnt set you back more then 45 i should think :)

    picked up some surplus when i was in florida recently, think it was Als Army Navy, 23 N Orange blossom Trail. You can get them on Ebay and the like though, also US Patriot Tactical sell them. I know someone that serverd in the AF as an MTI and he has said as a camo pattern its pretty poor for woodland type areas, indoor it might not be too bad though. I'll know in the next 2 weeks when i get back out in it

    I have tactical tigerstripe and I was thinking of it as an alternative. Was it expensive.
