I definitely agree, the R&D for this isn't geared towards ultralight backpackers. Sil would probably be perfectly fine for any of the above mentioned uses, plus some...but it also has to be geared towards the dullest, most brutish individual in order to pass muster, not the one that pays careful attention to every detail. Chain is only as strong as the weakest link kind of thing. I'm sure some company could make a knock-off multicam pattern material in sil...but to me that defeats the purpose. I've seen the Crye stuff next to chicom airsoft stuff, and it's decidedly different. It's definitely my camo of choice, with Cadpat and Marpat being tied for second. Maybe I should look for some Marpat sil for the time being.
