Against Late Fall Hardwoods, Approach FX scores 60/100 (), while Altitude scores 51/100 ().
Based on color alignment, breakup scale, and texture density, the AI sees an approximate 9-point lean toward Approach FX in this particular environment.
Badlands Approach FX and Kryptek Altitude are both mixed-scale patterns, so they behave similarly from a scale point of view. Both patterns balances micro and macro elements, keeping them fairly steady across different shot distances. They are also similar in overall density, so neither one is dramatically busier or more open. Badlands Approach FX holds a slightly broader scale spread, giving it a bit more range in tight brush and mid-distance openings.
Badlands Approach FX vs Kryptek Altitude
Badlands Approach FX and Kryptek Altitude have been analyzed using our CamoMatrix AI engine, which measures scale, density, and edge behavior directly from the flat pattern artwork. Both land in the mixed-scale category, meaning they balance fine texture with larger breakup blocks instead of living at one extreme. Density is similar, so neither pattern overwhelms the eye or leaves too much empty space. Edge style diverges: Badlands Approach FX leans into smoother, blended transitions, while Kryptek Altitude uses sharper, harder transitions. Softer edges often melt better into natural backgrounds, while harder edges can create stronger breakup in certain lighting. Badlands Approach FX's scale index trends a touch higher, making its breakup blocks slightly larger than those in Kryptek Altitude. Kryptek Altitude lands slightly higher on the density index, adding a bit more visual texture. That can help in chaotic or brushy terrain where extra breakup is useful. Badlands Approach FX carries more spread in our readings, which can make it more forgiving when moving between close-cover stands and semi-open edges. As always, these results come from flat pattern imagery. Real-world performance depends heavily on terrain, season, and how the garments fit and move.
This is a pattern-only comparison from flat artwork. Terrain, season, and real backgrounds will still push one or the other ahead in specific setups.
