DRSKIN Camo Pieces

Camo is the one print this range carries, and it turns up on more shelves than any single colour does. It comes in three versions here — camo black, camo grey and camo red — and the difference between them is the base rather than the pattern: the same disruptive print laid over a black, a grey or a rust ground. On a mesh tank the print reads open and broken up; on a compression tight it reads much darker, because the knit is denser and the ink sits differently on it.

There is one practical thing worth knowing before you order a camo piece rather than a plain one. A printed knit shows wear differently from a dyed one: the print is on the face of the fabric and the ground colour underneath is what shows first where a knit rubs, at the inner thigh on a tight and under the arm on a tank. It is not a fault and it takes seasons, but it is the reason the plain black pieces still outsell the camo ones on every shelf. The packs that pair a camo piece with a plain one are the best of both.
