In my previous post I relayed my first experience with UV reflection. Time for some elaboration. It was several years later that I finally decided to put my hunting clothes to the test using a black light. I was shocked with the results, and thinking back on the times I got easily picked off, I was wearing the clothes that reflected UV light. At the time I was hunting primarily in pine thickets, close quarters, on the ground. I would actually hide inside of bushes sometimes, yet be picked off immedieatly. Other times I've had mature bucks within10 yards of me in the open making rubs & scrapes and never knew I was there. So now days I wear hunting clothes that do not reflect UV light. I own piles of hunting clothes- different patterns- different materials- different manufacturers. Shine a black light on them, some appear completely black, others will just about blind you. The only real offender is clothing made of cotton. The worst I own is Fusion 3D T-shirts (available at Walmart) & Predator Deception (from Predator themselves). Anything made of polyester does not reflect UV, but I don't care for it because it appears shiney. Polyester fleece is great however because it refracts light (breaks it up). Wool is the best of all as it refracts light the best, but too hot down here in south Alabama. By the way, I did purchase a bottle of that UV Killer. Never used it. Probably never will. and I don't advocate purchasing the stuff.
A side note- those pictures they show illustrating UV glow...the T shirtthe man iswearing is Fusion 3D- the absolute worst I've seen at reflecting UV. The Fusion 3D pants are great- completely black under a black light. That's the pants I wear all the time, and the pants the man is wearing in the photo. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
