Default RE: UV light, true or crap?

This is from a university study on cervid vision, draw your own conclusion:



I've blacklighted newly purchased camo, and camo that I've washed in Sportwash, only the new stuff "glowed". Whites and blaze were particularly bright, but all of the new items showed a distinct "glow". I've also tested Atsko UV Killer and found it to work as advertised. One thing you need to remember is that unlike animals with enhanced night vision our corneas have a built in UV blocking ability, so we can't see the glow like they do without using a UV emitting source such as a blacklight. Get a blacklight and try it yourself, you'll see what I mean.
