    Exclamation MultiCam becoming harder to find...

    Life has been difficult for retailers (well, for everyone really) since Covid-19 started and then 'to rub salt into the wound' we discovered that Condor Outdoor had made the decision to discontinue all their MultiCam items a few weeks ago! What? Why?

    As a bit of background, the US Army has used MultiCam OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) operationally for a number of years but decided that they needed their own new dedicated camouflage and so they developed and have recently adopted Scorpion W2 OCP .

    Condor Outdoor, being a US company, have now got the license to produce their products in Scorpion W2 OCP so they decided that as it's so similar to MultiCam (pic below shows MultiCam on the left and Scorpion on the right) that they could just get rid of MultiCam.

    So we can use Scorpion and no-one will notice anyway? Problem solved!

    Well, it would be the perfect solution if it wasn't for the US Government not allowing the export of this proprietary camo pattern...

    MultiCam is widely popular around the world, being used operationally by the military, or sections of the military, in the UK, many European countries, India, Australia, Brazil, New Zealand and even Canada!

    It's also a great pattern for hunting - seemingly perfect for the terrain of Alberta and personally used for this purpose by myself (Mark).

    So what have we done about it?

    We and other dealers pushed back on Condor's decision and they have relented a little and will continue to produce some of their products in MultiCam (as well as Scorpion) and are even going to expand their MultiCam Black offerings.

    This is the list of SKUs that they are going to continue to produce in MultiCam:

    MA64-021 Sidekick Pouch
    MCR5-021 Recon Chest Rig
    MOPC-021 Modular Operator Plate Carrier


    Anything not on these lists is discontinued and largely out of stock in Condor Outdoor's warehouse. We have done our best to stock up but once any SKUs not on these lists are gone, they're gone. We have notes to this effect on each of the affected listings that we still have.

    We will be looking to replace some items from other manufacturers but we have not been able to find a manufacturer that offers this quality at this price point. Our search continues, but in the meantime if there is something you have had your eye on in MultiCam from Condor Outdoor, grab it today!

    I had no idea about Multicam not being used by the US forces anymore. So do other equipment providers still have the license to use the Multicam fabrics?

    That's good news. It is impossible to be cool without multicam.

    Yes, other suppliers still have a license to produce products in MultiCam - the question is will they? I can see other US-based gear companies doing the same and switching production to Scorpion as their biggest market is, of course, the US. That may mean we need to ultimately look outside of the US for MultiCam...

    Doubtful as the entirety of US special forces consume and will continue to consume more multicam products than the rest of the world combined. What the regular US army does to save money is not indicative of what the US military as a whole is doing (case in point, ACU, and thank God that didnt catch on). There will be essentially an endless demand for multicam for a very, very long time.

    It’s just Condor not producing multicam anymore, no big deal honestly. Most people at the range won’t notice.

    The main difference in the patterns is that Scorpion V2 only has an horizontal pattern Vs multicam that has horizontal and vertical. The Scorpion also has more green.
    Left wing, right wing, they belong to the same bird.
