Default What kind of camo do you wear?

I've been thinking about camo and clothes and what not, and I'm curious how many folks go for the commercials and go all out for all the bells and whistles with their hunting clothes.

Whatever Wal-mart is selling. I will sometimes spend some $$$$ on cold weather clothing. The patterns are typically Realtree or mossy oak. I can't say that I think it makes any difference what pattern is used.

Honestly, I know this will go against the grain of the regulars around here, but I am more prone to buy clothing that is made of certain materials/designs than I am to buy for a particular pattern. I really like waterproof fleece for my outer layer, it is silent and keeps the wind and water off me when it is nasty out. I honestly don't really have problems getting sighted and picked offin my tree or in a blind, and haven't for probably 5-6 years now. I do get winded occasionally, but not often becauseI am careful of my stand placement. This is why I haven't yet sprung for something of a more open pattern like predator/asat or the new enigma. This is not to say that these camo's don't work better (i think they probably do wor much better) but I really don't seem to have problems with the realtree hd hardwoods grey I have now. I may be getting an enigma suite this fall though, because I hope to have them in the shop for customers and I would like to give the setup a shot to see how they work. I think the real advantage to this type of camo is when I have a spot that doesn't have a tree that can break up my outline once the leaves have dropped it will probably keep me from getting spotted and skylined a bit better. For now I simply don't hunt out of trees that won't break my outline up and keep me concealed............maybe this new camo will allow me more freedom when picking "the perfect tree".

You left out us western hunters. Out here forbrushy grasslands it just doesn't get much better than Natgear IMO. In the woods though, especially early season, I will wear whatever. I have some different things and will wear either what I need to keep warm, or cool, or to match a particular situation. I am definitely thinking about some ASAT or Enigma though, but may have to wait for it to come down in price.

A friend gave me 3 sets of camo from the army reserves. I've used that the last 5 years. Last Feb. I bought some camo coveralls from Wal-mart that were at the after season prices. Normally $80 and it was down to $30 so I grabbed 2, 1 for me and 1 for my hunting buddy.
