Well, ACU is a lot more gray (and *ahem* a lot more fugly) than what you're wearing. I'm really liking it actually, so I definitely want a set. I'm gonna guess this is Dark Woodland Digital Camo. Not sure I follow on the size issue... smaller than the tag lists?
Yup and as I believe was posted earlier the stuff I have on there looks like an amalgam of ACUPAT and CADPAT.
EDIT - correction, I guess I left out that part
The sizing is way off, for example the pants are listed as xxl but fit tighter around the waist than an xl, however the pants are long and loose like the xl's should be and the buttons for the fly need to be re-stitched as 3 of them came loose/off after first wearing. My advice if this colour turns out to be the correct one to order at least one size larger (when wearing the webbing/vest/armour the extra material shouldn't be an issue - better to have more room to wear than not enough.
Be aware that this is a poor quality material and build for the outfit, what distinguishes it obviously is its different look. For example the 6 pocket ACU style looks ok on the pants but they didn't include the velcro access knee pad area at all, likewise that is missing in the elbows of the jacket. Speaking of the jacket I have the xxl jacket and it fits close enough as a proper fit to another xxl PROPPER ACUPAT jacket that I grabbed at DragonCon '08. The fabric itself is very light and don't think very strong (not convinced the 'rip-stop' pattern is reliable at) but should be comfortable enough to wear in hotter climates).
I am not sure that this is what is listed as the
Dark Woodland Digital Camo and it may have been an experiment by the manufacturer.
