Wonder when SAF would implement digital camo to complete the 3G transformation.

Digital camo is just the in-thing nowadays lah. It is only slightly more effective in tests than the old BDUs at best. Not worth the cost of changing over, because to print the digital pattern requires more expensive inks and a new printing process. Lots of problems with durability reported also. I'd rather they keep the same No.4 Pattern and change the design of the uniform with shoulder pockets and stuff. One advantage would be no more folding of smart 4

Not slightly... its really a lot more effective. Very hard to spot in vegetation because theres not real outline in the prints.
