Camo clothing, I NEED HELP
 

Ok, so here is the deal. Two years ago, I purchase a set of clothes from Grey Wolf Woolens in Predator Fall Brown. The pattern, at least in my experiance is excellent. The clothing from Grey Wolf is top notch and I have no complaints what so ever.

HOWEVER, here is where I'm starting to get sour. No matter where I go, you can't find this pattern or anything like it. I used to buy clothing from Cabelas exclusively and never had an issue and overall liked what I had. I'm just growing increasingly unhappy with the fact that to get what I want, I have to special order it from Grey Wolf or somewhere else that carries Predator camo. I'm really debating selling it all and going back to a more accessible camo pattern, maybe the Outfitter camo Cabelas offers on a wide range of their products.

Am I the only one who has these sort of thoughts? I know the "open" patterns are more effective, but honestly, I hunt 20ft up a tree and seldom, in any pattern, was I picked off unless I did something stupid.

What exactly is it that you are looking for in predator camo that you can't find?

My thoughts are you're wearing one of the finest camo patterns made by one of the finest custom gear makers known to us whitetail fanatics and you want to sell it for a commercial camo???? [&:]

Not predator, but made of wolfskin and the pattern, IMO, is just as good.

I'm not sure if there is a Sportsman's Warehouse near you, but they carry a pretty large variety of predator camo.

I've got to totally agree with buckeye here... Jeff offers the finest patterns availabe in the finest fabrics, and custom-tailored to boot... Can't see anything but a win-win there.

If you're not wanting to spend the money on Wolfskin, Predator has the heavy 9-oz. cotton available on its site... maybe not Fall Brown, but if you're just wanting to complement what you buy from Jeff, Fall Gray would work pretty well I would think. In fact, that's the exact reason they chose to discontinue Brown.... it was justtoo close to the Gray. I've obviously got a bunch of both patterns, and the only difference is that Brown just has a more "tannish" background than the Gray. You say you do most of your hunting 20' up a tree... I would honestly pick Gray over Brown anyway for that scenario. In fact, that's one of the reasons I like Gray Wolf Woolens' Fall Gray; it's a good compromise between the two.

I prefer my birthday suit :D

Just kidding, I looked at enigma camo earlier today online and was very impressed, I'm actually thinking about switching over to it. I've always hunted with straight up military surplus, Army woodland camo or something of similar pattern, just because its affordable.I've never had any problem during gun or bow seasons with it. Never been busted by a deer inthe woods either and I split my time in a stand and on the ground pretty equally.

I hear ya Muzzy. The new Realtree AP is starting to arrive in the big stores and it looks pretty impressive.

does anyone know off hand the prices on enigma camo? Lets say I wanted X pattern in the BDU Style Pants they offer and then the bowhunting jacket. Anyone know/remember what it costs? I plan on emailing them tonight, but I dont expect a reply till tomorrow. The parents still owe me a birthday present.....;)

Thanks for the info. Thats pretty reasonable priced for a specialty pattern and custom company.

man I hunt in tree stands and ground blinds camo is not that high of a factor for me I personally go for any OK camo pattern as long as it's really quiet

I just got a set of Enigma yesterday. I am very impressed with the quality of the garments. Pattern aside there is no comparison between off the shelf camo and Enigma. I will hunt in it Saturday and put it through a field test. These are high quality, well made articles of clothing that are worth every bit of what I paid for them. That is my initial impression and I don't think that will change after my hog hunt this weekend.

As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather go in the woods without a bow than without my Gray Wolf stuff. It's just superior in so many ways outside of having the best camo patterns.

Outside of the Wolfskin fabric, we use a bunch of the predator fleece stuff that he makes. Nice stuff. As far as not matching in other things (gloves, boots, equipment); who cares? Most important thing is that you are comfortable in the woods!

Wife and I are placing our fall predator graywolfskin order with Gray Wolf Woolens this weekend at the IA Deer Classic. Wolfskin is the best material on the market IMO and I am partial to predator in the fall gray pattern.
