Has anyone had any issues with the new scorpion pattern uniform?

It seems that this uniform likes to fade and discolor only after a few washes. The boots have seem to faded away from their original color as well. I take good care and wash the uniform and keep the boots clean. The new uniform just doesn't seem to withstand as much wear and tear as others. Has anyone else had any issues? Or has any tricks to combat them?

PVT Samuel Caspers - I did this because my wife told me to, I never read labels, maybe I need to start. Might be why my wife is smarter than me.

PVT Samuel Caspers, +1 for reading the tag! You're probably the only one here who did.

I does fade some, about on par with the old BDUs. The uniform is darker than the ACU so it is more noticeable. But remember, the wear life of the uniform is 6 months, so don't expect it to look like new for long. I think once you get the full clothing bag amount (4 sets), you 'll be able to rotate them more frequently and slow down the wear process.

In comparison to the OCP, the scorpion has gone about 4 months with very little fading. The OCP faded after the first wash. Perhaps it's the detergent your using or you're using a dryer rather than hang drying them.
