Default RE: Best Camos - materials

Well, I'm an oddball of sorts...I'm not into all the latest high-tech materials...saddlecloth, bucksuede and the like. IMO, these fabrics are too noisy..not neccessarily the surface, but they "crinkle" (is that a word?) and otherwise make noise when you move. Also I find these fabrics create a glare in sunlight. I was given a jacket last year as a gift made with a saddlecloth low nap type synthetic and I'd never wear that thing in the woods...way too noisy even after repeated washings.

When I used to have an early season to hunt in, I prefered good quality brushed twill or chamois fabrics...super quiet, comfy, and they don't reflect light.

For the later season I prefer good 'ol high nap fleece and wool. Fleece is a pain with burrs, but it's the quietest fabric out there and provides great freedom of movement.

However for your needs, you should check out the newer high tech low nap fleeces & saddlecloth types.

For super high quality clothing in a variety of material types I would check out Day One
