RE: ultimate camo

Rob, How was the quality and the sizingof the outfit? I am thinking about ordering some also but I didn't know whether to wait and see what other materials they are coming out with. They said on there website "in the future wewill be offering other fabric choices including new high tech fabric options". I would like to see it done in buckskin or wolfskin. I think I will contact them to see when the new fabric will be available.

I wear a 32 inch waist, I ordered the medium pants. They fit perfect in my waist, they are a little long as I'm not that long legged at 5'10, probably a 34" inseam on the pants, not an issue of course.
I wear anything from a L to an XL shirt and in the button up shirt I actually returned the XL for a L and they had no problem doing that. The XL which fit my shoulders, was big in the waist line. Seems the clothing is for the big and tall and I'm more of a "fit" guy. The large fit perfectly. I like the face mask and gloves and in the Jacket I did get the XL and it's perfect. I also received a hat, good quality.
I'd be anxious to see other materials as well. Especially Wolfskin or an equivelant.

RE: ultimate camo
Thanks for the info Rob and Fatsbucknut. I am glad to hear such good reviews. I was going to wait for the Eastern Outdoor Show in Harrisburg and check them out there but I think I'm going to order them now just in case I wouldn't make it there in Feb. I want to make sure I get to try them out this spring. I do very well in spring globbler season every yearbut that'snot to say I don't get busted. I think this camo will give me that one moreextra advantage. We'll find out.
I emailed UltimateCamo and they said they are going to be adding fleece to their line-up and alsoin the future will be offering other fabric choices including new high tech fabric options includinga breathable waterproofing treatment embedded in the material. Also cold weather gear.

RE: ultimate camo
I have a real hard time jumping on this ultimate camo "band wagon". IMO ultimate is definetly the wrong name cause it sure as heck isn't going to work anywhere.I can only see it being effective in very limited situations.
Honestly, unless you are sitting tight against a very largeoak or pine and the animal comes in exactly so you are in line with the tree you will just stick out like a sore thumb.
What about Western hunting? Sure it will work if you only hunt in dark timber but what happens if you near an alpine meadow or aspen thicket orjuniper thicket?
What about treestand hunting where you will be sky lined? You are going to look like a big-ole dark human standing there.
What about spot and stalk out in the open or even in thick woods? You cartainly aren't going to blend in when you are trying to slip through the woods.

1) What pattern in your opinion would work better in the pictures below,basically if you could just swap clothes on the hunter?
2) What camo do you sell at the Pro Shop you work at?
This patternwas designed for hunting hardwoods, not for spot and stalk out West. As for the front and side view debate, unfortunately, you cant have the best of both worlds from a straight on view and from a side view. Deer are unpredictable, but I think most people set up their stand hoping deer will approach from the front or at least pass by from the front, as its easier to see them coming, your dont have to move as much to look around behind the tree, gives your more timeto prepare fora better shot opportunity, and usually we face the wind. And even from the side it still woks just fine, it looks like a tree trunk, not like a bush atatched to the side of a tree trunk 25 feet up.From behind, it doesnt really matter as the deer cant see what your wearing.Doyou have anyfield pics of your best hardwoods tree stand camo from a frontal or straight on position just for comparison pictures, in a tree stand, with no foliage,as thats as real as it gets, no hiding or faking anything.Should be easy for you todo this time of year in case you dont have any.Unfortunately you havent had a chance to actually see it in the woods or in person to make any real analysis or review of the pattern, and neither did all the deer I shot this year
. Ive had great success with deer encounters as have many others as you can see in the "Success Shots" on the web site. Thanks for youropinion thoughbigbulls.

I own all of the above camos you mention
ASAT
Predator
Engima 1 & 2
UltimateCamo
There is no one size fits all. I go by setup, and I am hunting big woods without a doubt I am taking UltimateCamo these days,
I have hunted in
Walnut
Maple
Red Oak
If I have a big sold tree trunk behind I want to blend in as much as poosible. If I do not I want to be as open as possible.
You can never have too much camo
Good luck
