I realize that the general consensus was/is that it’s awful, but two things got me thinking about it, recently.
I’ve seen London Bridge Trading mag pouches in UCP selling for cheap. And also ...
I had an in-person, work-related meeting in Orange County, CA last weekend and while out there, saw someone wearing it on the street in Costa Mesa. It didn’t look bad as a type of “urban” camo.
Any non-haters of UCP on M4C? Just wondering what you might be using it for ...
No, UCP sucks...
But the Air Force Digital Tiger Stripe was worse. Much worse.
Actually I have some old sustainment pouches and other Items in UCP. It works to carry stuff, just like fat girls and mopeds. Wish I could figure out the perfect way to dye to black.
Completely agree ABU was worse. I got out in December 2008 and we were still wearing Woodland at that time.Quote:

I think it works well as snow camo, base layer UPC, overwhites, UPC LBE.
UCP works okay to pretty well during winter in a mix of bare pine and snow cover.
As well as gravel and sagebrushQuote:

As for use, it might work as an Urban uniform, but it's not great at it. Not a ton of difference in the color scheme to provide depth and to break up your silhouette. I could see it working as a snow pattern, but only in a pinch. Actual over whites of any type would undoubtedly be better.
As always, I very much appreciate the thoughtful replies. Thanks, Gentlemen.
I think in higher mountainous regions with lots of slate or granite or sage brush, it works ok. In urban its ok. In the snow its ok. Not the universal camo it was supposed to be, but there are some areas where it kinda works. After your go prone a few times and get the local dirt on it, that helps a lot too.
I was very thankful to get OCP's issued over my ABU's when I deployed. Multicam / scorpion is the preferred 'universal' camo.
