ral environments. Creating an entirely new and effective
concealment pattern from scratch was a painstaking task.
What came out of this entirely independent and
self-funded research was a ground-breaking, naturallooking, hybrid digital pattern. It uses a complex
mixture of blending and disrupting techniques to
more effectively conceal the wearer. The resulting
PenCott Multi-Environment Camouflage pattern
family shares common fractal-based, multi-scalar
pattern geometry with separate, colour-optimised
environmental variations.
The benefits of PenCott can be simply stated as:
•
•
•
•
It conceals more effectively at all typical engagement distances
It conceals more effectively at much closer
distances than other patterns
It conceals more effectively in multiple environments and terrains
It looks far more ‘natural’ than other pixilated
digital patterns
PenCott patterns have been successfully tested and
proven by users in the UK, US, Canada, Europe, Asia,
Africa, Australia and New Zealand. They are also in
use with a growing number of special law enforcement
teams in Europe, North America, South America and
Asia. It has even been reported that some US and Coalition Special Forces units have been using the Badlands
variant in Afghanistan.
Where to get it
There are now many manufacturers of tactical
clothing and kit that have added PenCott to their range.
Many of these manufacturers deal direct with special
operations forces so their choice of the PenCott patterns
makes a statement in itself.
