    I hear what you’re saying @GWH. Down on our block we tested the good stuff and some not so good stuff not long after this thread started in response to some earlier comments, the proper glowing blaze orange e.g. Hunters Element, right down to full dark under the canopy. Twice, in different locations from numerous different angles, in the light, in the shade. The quality gear did not turn brown, not at all. Stood out like a luminous bloody beacon. But I wouldn’t say the same of an old faded Stoney Creek camo pattern fleece we tried, I got one of those that is well past it and that was pretty ordinary in low light, to say the least.

    Me and the missus properly disappear in our camo but after lots of questions and a fair bit of argument we came to the conclusion that some top quality hi viz was the way to go and like I say we checked it properly. Things like the pack covers will only be used on the trails in the day when hiking in and out of basecamp, the packs don’t get worn when hunting. With those on you’ll be able to see us from 3 miles and 10,000ft.

    Its an emotive subject and I don’t want to start another debate but our decision was clear to us, based on what we could see in real hunting conditions.
