it is still a blue-gray pixilized tiger stripe, they just subdued the colors a bit so it wouldnt stand out as much.

Isn't it a bit too bright? I mean, it almost looks like it is washed out to me...

If it's useful I don't care if it's ugly, so my question would be: it's useful this type of camo?

whats with the flak vests ?, they look like old gulf war flak vests.

What is curious is why are they wearing a frag vest in the first place. This vest provides zero protection against small arms fire without a heavy add-on.

its no worst than the old woodland camo, its just that everyone is use to it now. the samething will happen with what ever camo the Airforce goes with. If it was up to me, I would gone with a standard green set up. As it looks better and when needed can be used in the field, but that would be way too old school and the air forces bosses would never go for it.
