I've spent a lot of time tracking down woodland marpat or near-marpat items for my paintball gear (and now that I have a fairly complete setup I'm probably going to move on to SpecOps-style digital or Crye Mulitcam, because I am a camo whore :slapshead)
Anyhow, here's a list of my sources. Almost all of them use the non-USMC import pattern. Feel free to add reviews or more sources. Someone else may want to start similar threads for desert marpat, acupat, multicam, flektarn, etc (i.e. please don't derail this one).
ThreatCon Outfitters / Camo Market: TruSpec and house-brand BDUs, lots of import marpat items. I do not recommend the digital tape.
Sparkling Earth: Lots of great sandanna-variations.
Lauer Custom Weapondry: Duracoat paint kits for your marker.
Wookie's Camo Stencil Generator: Generate your own digital pattern!
Hoffmann Authentic: Hot weather Flip-Side jerseys, in marpat-ish.
PCS Paintball Hot weather jerseys and SpecOps-style pants in marpat-ish pattern.
OpsGear TruSpec BDUs and digital camo skins for goggles and markers.
COPS911: Our very own A5OG sponsor. A-5 covers, and every now and then they get enough MARPAT type cordura to make some vests.
Rage Force Paintball: Ebay vendor of camo paintball marker covers. I bought from them w/o realizing COPS911 made them too. Nice stuff, but not helping to keep this server online.
Military Griffin Ebay Vendor of all kinds of import Marpat stuff.
Amherst Drop Zone Another Ebay vendor with lots of import stuff. Bought one of their waist pouches, and it lost about 70% of its color after it's first trip through the laundry (with my TruSpec BDUs, which showed no appreciable loss). The 3-layer facemask/bandanna held its color fine though, and is nice- I think it's actually made by Sparkling Earth.
US Cavalry: Another source for TruSpec BDUs and related gear. Their in-stock status feature is nice, especially with the supply issues everyone has with TruSpec marpat.
Jesse's Hunting & Outdoors: The only place I could find that carries long-sleeve marpat T-shirts. Had to wait 3 weeks for them to back-order, but they're TruSpec 50/50, and the collar and cuffs are even the right shade of green. Lightwight weave that looks like it should hold the color well. Marpat is a color option when selecting from the other TruSpec camo Ts, so you may be able to google them elsewhere if you leave out "marpat". Cost me $20 with shipping for TWO of them.
