Flecktarn Camouflage Pattern (Flux)

Flecktarn is a German military camouflage pattern developed in the late 20th century, characterized by its distinctive mottled appearance composed of small, irregular spots in various shades of green, brown, and black. Designed to provide effective concealment in temperate woodland environments, Flecktarn breaks up the wearer’s silhouette using a disruptive pattern that mimics natural foliage and terrain textures. Its name derives from the German words "Fleck" (spot) and "Tarnung" (camouflage), reflecting its speckled visual style. First officially adopted by the Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces) in the 1990s, Flecktarn has since gained popularity among militaries, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide due to its versatility, visual complexity, and ability to remain effective at various distances. Its aesthetic appeal has also crossed into civilian fashion and industrial design, often used to evoke ruggedness, functionality, or a tactical theme.
