Looks like they've finally replaced most of their longtime OD green outfits:

I actually sorta like the OD.

That camo looks like flecktarn, marpat, and multicam all smushed together.

Its pretty ugly. Not ACU ugly but...meh.
I don't live in Austria so they can have it.

I'd still take it over the USAF's awful pattern.

Yep. It takes effort to make tiger stripes uncool.

In think it was hyperstealth who had digital Vietnam Tiger Stripe. That would have been cool.

So Austria has dropped their OD utilities and went digis, welcome to the 21st Century Austria.

Looks awfully close to A-TACS FG.

A first I thought " too much white"...
That said, lots of rock in parts of Austria.

As noted above, I liked holding on to the Oilve Green - both as a throwback and, due to the anchluss, a slightly less Nazi-Hapsburg militaristic look from the folks who started and lost two world wars.

I'd concede on starting 1 world war, but the real history around Austria and WW2 is far more complex. :)

Even the term Anschluss was an act of propaganda implying union when by most definitions it was a forced annexation. (And yes, some did support unification, others did not. There was both cheering and fighting/mass arrests when it occurred)

Even the Austrian fascists were different, much more like Italian fascism then the German national socialist.

Back to the camo, I'm surprised it has that much forest green in it. I would have expected more of the ATACS Brown pattern, maybe with a hair more Olive.

This close to Halloween, I was expecting something more like this:
