Default Atsko put to the test

I finally got the stuff to do the test and here it is. For the first test, I used a shirt. Broken down into 3 parts. Pictures are new, washed in Tide, and then washed in Sportwash/treated with spray. As you can see in the first pic,the shirt is very bright right from the start.

After washing in Tide, I can see no visible change. Still glowing pretty good.


After the Atsko treatment...I sprayed the shirt down with the spray while I had it in front of the light and I could
see it working but the end product is still not acceptable.

Next up are some pants. They look good right off the rack.

Washed in Tide. Noticably brighter.


Treated with Atsko. Worked but its still brighter than they were new. Much better results than the shirt.

So, I guess I'm the only one who doesn't wash his camo in anything with UV brightners in it?
I just use baking soda, hang em off the swingset out back, then stuff em in a ziplock bag with scent wafers till opening day.... that way they are dulled, and scent free.

The stuff works almost as advertised. It wont restore the fabric to its original dullness if you have washed it in regular detergent. If you use it from the start, youre golden.

Im a skeptic of most products and this one passes my test. Ill be using it.

I always washed them like regular clothes. Didnt really care to be honest.

Huh, well, to each his own.... I just don't really "wash" camo.... unless they get bloody or something.... Isn't there some carbon product thats supposed to dull your camo as well?
