Camo Question?? NAT GEAR???

[Thunder Ridge Extreme 1]

Anyone used Natural Gear camo in the past??? I just bought a set this past week. I just feel most of the highly commercialized camo patterns are to dark and look better in the store than out in the field. I have used Realtree Advantage and Hardwood with good success but felt NatGear would give me a better chance of going undetected. So is NatGear the way to go???? What do you guys use or prefer?? I have found NatGear to be very difficult to find. Later, T$

Thunder Ridge, I'm with you... I think that the more popular camo patterns have too much contrast and are too specialized. (certain patterns for different terrain, foilage, time of year, etc.)

I don't currently own any NatGear, but just received their free catalog in the mail the other day and will probably pick some up next spring. It looks like it would work well here in SD where one week I can be hunting out West in the sage and open prairie, and the next week, I'm in the river bottoms, sloughs, and crop fields in Eastern SD.

TRE,
I have used Natgear the past two seasons and my brother has the past 3 or 4 not sure. It blends in better than any camo we have tried. We really like the light color and I feel you are right the highly commercialized camo in my opinion is to dark. If you dress a person in Natgear and a person in something like Realtree Hardwoods and step back 75-100 yards the person in the Hardwoods looks like a black blob and the Natgear doesn't. Check it out with a buddy and do this test you will be sold on Natgear. Plus if you shoot a P&Y while wearing it you can get a free Scent-Lok lined suit(I think this still applies this year).
My $0.02

I've only got one piece of NaturalGear camo and it's one of those snow cover jackets. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, though. Seems like likely there has been little to no snow during the November firearm season. Maybe if I ever hunt the January late antlerless season it'll come in handy.

to be honest with you, I have never used natgear besides snow camo. But I would have to say, even though I really cant afford to buy any I think it looks like the best out there. I think you guys are right. I used to love mossy oak break up, but now in my opinion it is just way to dark for most set ups. so now i lean towards advantage timber which is a shade lighter and seems to work better for me. When my good pair of bibs and overalls finally do wear out, im gonna be checking into natgear

I use NatGear camo for the past 3 years. You guys are right on the money about the other well known brands are too dark and look great in the store. Put one of those really dark camo sleeves up to a tree trunk and look at how it sticks out like a sore thumb. I use to feel like a dark blob in my tree stand now I'm simply a undetected light colored blob.
