RE: What do you think of this camo?
I'm a big fan of Skyline in general, especially Apparition and a few of their older patterns like Ultimate and (crap..the name escapes me).
The Excel is a "busier" version of the Apparition, and It closes up a bit comparitively. A guy I know around here has a suit and it's a little "blobby" not horrible, but not as good as the Apparition.
I will say though that in general I have found their products poorly sewed/fit/made. I returned a couple hundred dollars worth of clothes I bought from them in 1997 or 1998 because I knew it wouldn't last. I would look for another manufacturer who licenses the pattern.
IMO of course

I like their Apparition Green better for most of the early season. They're suppose to be coming out with a new series this year....the XT Series. I have a couple sets of plain old Apparition, 3 Xtra Greens, and a set of their Horizon that works great on snow.

Cougar,
I think it looks more like Realtree Hardwoods HD...
Their original pattern was a more open pattern with good contrast. They must be feeling some sort of pressure from the big two to recreate what they are doing to take advantage of their advertising and marketing campaign.[&o]
But I still think that every camo pattern will work in specific areas.
I just can't afford that much camo, and don't have tha space to store it!

That's a nice looking pattern. looks a little dark in the pic though. I'd like to see it in a wooded setting to see how well it blends in. The apparationd green that Dave has looks killer in the woods. I have always been an open pattern type but the skyline camo has me itchin for a change.

RE: What do you think of this camo?
Seems like a pretty decent pattern. The multiple fine, brown "lines" across it would blend in very well with the areas I tend to hunt. The overall brown and gray pattern should prove excellent when the leaves fall to the ground.
