PCU Layer 5 Alternative

[Damocles]

Does anyone know if there is a manufacturer who makes softshells similar to the PCU layer 5, made from Epic nylon? I want something closer to woodland DPM colours than ACU and without insulation - basically an Epic smock.

I got one of those softshells from TAD:

they are quite good, real sturdy and indestructible fabric. The green colour is very similar to the green in the DPM pattern.

I have a arc'teryx gamma hoody, I love it. The only downside is that it isn't as warm as some of the other soft shells I own. However it is more water resistant and the hood is nice. If you look around you can find them for cheaper then the $300 price tag, I got mine for $200 I think.
