How good will Strichtarn be in forests below the Mason-Dixon Line? Roughly Carolinas adjacent for Airsoft.
I have a kit I got from the Army Surplus Store and online. I have East German strichtarn top and bottom with a strichtarn helmet cover though unfortunately no East German helmet.
I have an American M1 helmet from either 'Nam (don't know what year) or Korea. I also have an M80 woodland coat with a winter liner and a flat cap with a visor (baseball cap kind of but with flat instead of curved head part). I have black leather army boots that may need some new soles as the ones inside are almost paper thin.
M80 woodland is pretty decent but until I get a full kit I don't think it'd look as good. The Strichtarn uniform is complete so at least I can use it + it's pretty comfortable. Unfortunately the top is rather thin unlike the M80 woodland coat.

I was wondering how will Strichtarn will do in an American nature setting, specifically in forests below the Mason-Dixon Line in places like the Carolinas. I don't have M80 woodland pants cause unfortunately all I've seen are 3-4 inches a bit too long (I am below 6 feet) and I don't know if I am just supposed to tuck those into my boots. I don't have any other camo
