Change of Uniform Styles

[Uniform and Camouflage]

For the most part I've stuck with simple OD green and woodland camo BDU's - very simplistic, easy and economical - but also VERY common. Finally I am looking to expand and try something different from the crowd. I've done my fair share of German Flecktarn, Swiss Alpenflage to compliment or switch it up from the traditional U.S. Woodland, but now I'm curious to see what else is out there that I could utilize. 

I've often found myself drawn to Soviet and Russian camo patterns, but they tend to be more or less unusable in my surrounding environments - like the Russian OMON (Otryad Mobilniy Osobogo Naznacheniya\Special Purpose Mobile Unit) uniform, which is more of a snow-oriented camouflage. Sure we have winter here, but it would better to have something that could be used all-year-round.

There's a number of other patterns the Russians use and for obvious reasons - their area of operation just nationally is so far spread and covers many different terrain and weather types.

After a bit of research I have decided to pursue a particular loadout used by the Russian MVD due to its durability and coloration. In the area I live where we receive the breadth all four seasons and have a great amount of woodland and forests I believe this uniform would suit me best. Only challenge is finding it at a reasonable price. With less common BDUs you almost always run into price. These BDUs run anywhere from $150-$200 and I know they're worth it, but damn that's a pretty penny to pay.
