2010年7月22日 · However, the Woodland camouflage pattern is a modification of the ERDL pattern, so there is some similarity, but the cut of the clothing itself is substantially different. And just so there is no confusion "M81" or any other M-number in reference to modern US uniforms is collector jargon that has no basis in anything official.

That year it officially introduced the M81 Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) in a four-color woodland pattern, [11] an enlarged and slightly altered version of ERDL, to supply all arms of the U.S. military. Despite being phased-out after that date, the …

Basically M81 = artillery range, ERDL = rifle range, which is why ERDL was one used by some elite recon units in Vietnam. All that to say:

The difference between ERDL and M81 is largely scale. Vietnam-era ERDL also has blurry prints and more muted colors. RDF ERDL has sharp and stark colors like M81.

I personally prefer lowland ERDL to woodland as it better captures the light colored greens in the brush found in most woodland environments

While this is cheap and abundant, it tends to “blob up” when it’s not viewed at the correct distance.

2020年4月1日 · In every single test (conducted over four seasons in 32 locations across about 100 miles of area) M81 woodland was INFINITELY more effective. In fact, I found plain solid coyote brown to work as well (and better in some cases) than MARPAT Woodland.

ERDL, RDF and M81 Woodland camouflage patterns: Much debate and ambiguity surrounds these three 'Leaf' camouflage patterns. In this post, I hope to clear some of the more common misconceptions by defining and explaining the differences between the main types and their respective variations.

2010年10月22日 · The m81 Woodland pattern was introduced in 1981, replacing the ERDL pattern (and plain green uniforms - the most used at that time). The m81 Woodland pattern was introduced in all branches of the US military - US Army, …

2024年10月18日 · Retaining essentially the same colorway of light green, dark green, brown and black, the pattern incorporates a 60% enlargement of the original ERDL design. The m81 Woodland Camouflage was initially adopted as standard combat and everyday dress by the US Army and USMC (followed by the remaining military services by the late 1980s) and was ...
