Logan

Finally, we get to write something about an upcoming camo pattern to be released by LBX Tactical, hopefully by the end of May 2015. As posted on their Facebook Page last 23 April 2015, LBX Tactical officially announced their LBX Caiman Camo, which is the camo pattern they are going to bring to the airsoft market together with Leading Edge Ventures HyperStealth Biotechnology Corporation, the company developing some new generation camo fabric.

Caiman Camo is actually the second pattern that will be released under this partnership as Inland Taipan is already in the market. If you have been following news from the SHOT Show, these patterns, called the LBX Tactical Camo Region Pack, were first revealed during the SHOT Show 2014 and there are a total of 4 patterns and: Mantis, Inland Taipan, Snow Raptor, and Caiman. According to Soldier Systems, to validate and optimize the patterns, they consulted sniper instructors from the Naval Special Warfare and US Marine Corps and explains it further:

LBX Camo utilizes a proprietary 3-dimensional pattern which is added to the larger Macropattern regions to subdue the Spatial Frequency of the pattern and allow for different aspects of the pattern to work at various distances. This feature also creates a semi-horizontal natural flow texture and the illusion of depth and more than seven colors from a distance. This flow helps to mask horizontal movement at various tactical distances.

Here is the unedited split screen of the Caiman Camo and see for yourself:

Here is the Inland Taipan now used with the LBX Tactical Camouflage Combat Pant and Camouflage Combat Shirt:

The LBX Caiman Camo is actually was being tested in the field by certain airsoft players and Silva of American Milsim was spotted by Asian With Hat wearing a full set of the prototype during American Milsim's ESR19-2 event held last Februay 28 to March 1, 2015:

These new generation camo patterns are being integrated by LBX Tactical into their combat apparel line which are affordable as compared and without compromising quality.  Now, we wait for comparisons on the field between these new LBX Tactical Camo Patterns and their  competitors. Will HyperStealth do its trick like what CNN says in their video report?
