    Blaze clothing options

    Looking for some blaze tops for bush stalking and general hunting. Have been looking around for a few months and seems most of the usual suspect brands don't have this as an option anymore.

    Are people opting to blend in rather than be seen these days?

    I find it helps not just got peace of mind but in general can see where mates are which is handy

    I'm looking at the following but thought I'd put it out there incase there's something that's snuck past, despite it being bright orange......

    For the two young fellas I take hunting I bought a vest, blaze polarfleece tee and beanie each, and a blue blaze summer tee

    Also have a look at your local safety store, good options for blaze. Just probably not anything with reflective strips

    Got a blaze hoody from the warehouse that works good. Big front pocket to stick cold hands/warm backsteaks in and a top pocket with zip to stick compass in. Have given it a fee light thrashing in the bushlawyer and it's still good. Colour still bright after a few washes and 2 weeks in the rain

    Get a light weight vest then you can put it over your clothes no matter what the weather.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    I was using the Stoney Creek blaze and vest last week and the other boys could see me from 1800m away. I use the ridgeline long sleeve tops and blaze buffs as well. Have been shot at and around to many times. Even my Pikau day pack is Blaze.

    Blue blaze for me preferably. Can't get anymore "human" looking than that.

    Let's face it movement will fuck you long before ultra stealth fashion can help.

    The blaze orange is good if it's not old and faded out.

    and the blaze camo stuff from the ware house is as good as from anywhere else...infact my favourite 2 tops are both from there as its slightly lighter weight fabric so I DONT OVER HEAT....

    so dont buy mens.......the only real difference is the zippers are on other side (well they always were on trousers when I was a kid anyway,being the youngest of five I got hand me downs from sisters)
    and clothing slightly too big is better than slightly too small LOL.

    Is the vest Blaze or Fluorescent they are not the same thing? I have a SC Fluoro cap and that is like you describe
