You can tell right away it's Helikon – excellent craftsmanship. Initially, the material feels stiff, but after a short time of wearing it becomes comfortable. Big plus for the pockets, which are great for documents or a small first aid kit.

UCP camouflage
UCP (Universal Camouflage Pattern) is a digital camouflage pattern introduced at the beginning of the 21st century, replacing US Woodland and Desert. It combines camouflage functions in forest, desert, and urban environments by blending shades of green, beige, and gray. The spot pattern is based on the MARPAT design, and the pastel, low-contrast colors create a pixelated micropattern that blends well into the surroundings at short distances, forming a uniform silhouette from a greater distance. UCP showed high infrared effectiveness, which contributed to its implementation, but it was eventually replaced by OCP camouflage based on the MultiCam pattern.

Good quality product, initially a bit stiff, but after extended use it becomes more comfortable.

In my opinion, it's not a perfect copy of the ACU, because you can notice small differences in the finishing and the material composition, but for this price it's still a great purchase.
