Hey man.. great video, you are reminding of myself in the Greek Army as you are wearing the Greek camo and carry the G3A4 rifle . Although i did not really liked the lizzard patern this camo was suitable for Greek mainland but for the islands terrain especially in the summer was not.It should have lighter colors and maybe the Greek Cypriot National Guard camo is more suitable.

Still performed well.

The Greek Lizard is quite effective HOWEVER your cover will get you killed in a heartbeat. You need a veil to break the outline and to kill the reflection of the top and brim. In the tall grass around the 4 minute mark the camo did a poor job at cover. You needed to supplement with some of the natural vegetation. Found you right off at the three minute mark. All in all very effective cover for heavy vegetation. Also very good, you carry the H&K G3 as does the Greek military for this demo. It is too bad that only a few of the Greek ground pounders get a chance to train for this environment. I keep telling them they should train with the Corp if they want to be the best. From a retired ex pat living in Greece Semper Fi! ΜΟΛΟΝ ΛΑΒΕ

Great video! Greek Lizard is a great woodland camo. It works perfect in the woods and heavy vegitation, but it's not good in a rocky, or other type of environment.

This video was a good lesson in C&C regarding how the shape of your head and the straight line of your weapon can give you away. There was a little more blobbing once or twice than I would have thought (I'd always blamed too much black and dark brown for that!). In late spring/early summer an outstanding camo pattern. Great stuff!!!

Best camouflage in my opinion

Wow. This pattern seems to work great in this environment. Thanks for sharing. I wanted to check with your video before ordering some and I just did. Thanks again. Thumbs up!

Very well put together video Brent, with the variation of exposure levels and settings all appreciated. Nice touch with the G3 btw. I talk with former colleagues (British Army) of mine on camo types now and again, and last time we caught up it had me thinking whether a 'same video' comparison between nations' forces respective camos might be possible. Specifically where they share a common climate type /sub-types. Perhaps a SE Europe / Mediterranean & Turkey video?: - Greece (Hellenic Lizard pixeled / non-pixeled), Turkey) - Turkey (Turkish Arid/Desert) - Albania (unsure what they've got now - a mix of US Woodland, PLA Woodland, German Fleck etc...) - Bulgaria (5-colour DPM, Bulgar Lizard variant) - FYROM / Rep of North Macedonia (DPM variant). Maybe not practical, and I appreciate that this a quite a selection of uniform types but I thought I might shoot it up here as a suggestion. I lived in Greece for several years btw hence my particular suggestion. Thanks again. p.s. I live in Hong Kong now, but despite my various pieces of Hellenic Lizard gear all being wholly ill-suited to humid sub-tropical climes I struck gold when wearing a pair of the shorts when at a bbq. I was approached by of all things a fashion designer with her telling me she loved them as they "stood out". Never been so glad for my camo to 'fail me' in all my life! lol!

Have served in greek army my tour of duty, lizard camo is suitable for greek terain.Have two tones ogreen, one is lighter.Even in islands that have more rocky terain and in summer it comes dusty, we use to bleach our camo and with the assist of some dust you cannot distinguish us from the earth....

Looks like that would work well around me... Piedmont of SC. The vegetation around here--for the most part--is a bit darker in the greens. While I love A-TACS FG as a pattern, it is too bright, Multicam is too washed out, UCP... eh there are some sage colored plants around here and in some places can work well and in others just carry a neon sign. MARPAT works pretty dang well, also the good ol' fashioned Woodland. I may just have to spend a few of my wayward, hard earned dollars and pick up some of this to see if the colors match as well as I think. Thanks for another vid. Essayons!

Nice,there are some other variants of this camo as well.My favourite is the desert one,but there is also an air-force one , which doesn't really aim at camouflage (it's basically the same but the light green background is changed with blue).You can also find some basic camos that instead of having light green background,have a more light brown one.

You've got me convinced ! I buy...

Most Greek mountains are full of kermes oaks (small dark green bushes)... When you sit with them in the background you can disappear from the naked eye even in 10 meters or less ....... The colors and pattern make this camo very hard to pick in these areas We made a test and oh my god...you vanish even without cover Yeah... Mediterranean climate is mostly dry ect but our plants are dark green and because we are mountainous and rocky they are everywhere... The only disadvantage of greek lizard is that if you are in an open field you stick out (as any woodland pattern) or in many islands where the vegetation is mostly small and scarse plants it doesn't work...but in the mainland it's amazing

Found these on Sportsman's Guide...brand new, never issued. Full set run ya $30 & change.First thing I thought was, "wonder if Brent's got a video on this stuff."I'm about half-tempted to order a set & see how they do out here in the Lubbock Tx area..Still kinda miss Wise County...y'know: trees and such.

Brent can you do a video about hides and ops

I serviced the Greek Army for 18 months. 2 points - info I can provide it's that lizard camo is the best camo I for mainland greece ( you get invisible) and in balkans terrain in general but not good for the islands as many have pointed out. The second and most Important thing is that the Hellenic lizard camo comes in 2 variations , a darker one like the one you are using to the video and a lighter one more dirt kinda color for less vegetated retains. Ok my opinion Greek lizard is one of the Best camouflages for heavily vegetated area's darker version : www.google.com/search?q=greek+lizard+camo&client=ms-android-motorola-gfw&prmd=isvn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjFwMOKqtvuAhUCyYUKHbMxDJwQ_AUoAXoECA4QAQ&biw=360&bih=616#imgrc=oopbr44zzYe7kM lighter version :www.google.com/search?q=greek+lizard+camo&client=ms-android-motorola-gfw&prmd=isvn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjFwMOKqtvuAhUCyYUKHbMxDJwQ_AUoAXoECA4QAQ&biw=360&bih=616#imgrc=gA6CePQNDGX7HM It's also interesting to point out the turks copied the Greek lizard camo for their army the last 5 years
