Default RE: Bought a blacklight to check my clothing for UV

I used a black light to test all my hunting attire. I have enough outer garments to last for 3 weeks plus. I have several name brands and several "Whatever was for sale" I found nothing that showed even a low degree of UV. The only garment I have which glows was a set of coveralls and hat from the 70's "Treebark." I stopped wearing it seveal years ago because it seem like I was geting spotted by deer.

One pair of Sent Lok had a showing of UV in the flower looking camo print and the thread in the buttons; however, I have shot several bucks while wearing that shirt, pants and coat.

I checked some other non hunting winter clothes and they all glowed. I think there is too much hype regarding the UV issue, but it never hurts to check.
