RE: What do you think of natural gear?
I used it last year and really, really liked it. The only problem I had was that I didn't really like the fit and finish of the garments themselves. Unfortunately with some of these smaller, and in my opinion, more effective camo patters, you're really limited to what you can get. While natural gear has a decent selection, it's just not what I really wanted or liked.
If I was going to use it again I would stick with their line of fleece apparel. I have a fleece vest and I love it. Probably one of my best clothing purchases ever. I still wear it to this day - over a longsleeve shirt in moderate temps, and under my heavy jacket when it's cold.
Next year, barring any crazy new patterns that hit the market from the big dogs, I'm probably switching back to a lighter, more open pattern. My Realtree HD Grey is just too dark for my liking.
