I use Predator, it works excellent for my areas and it lasts! The patterns I use depends on the area, I believe in matching the terrain somewhat with the camo pattern that only makes sense but the real meat is outline breakup for concealment. You make the blob effect go away and you'll be more than satisfied with the camo or pattern you have chosen. The camo is only as effective as your set up in the first place it will not make a difference if you forget this component.
