Muskrat.... I'm sorry but that snakeskin stuff is too pale and blobby. There is not enough contrast in it to break up anything. I really think if you catch someone up in a tree from a ways off wearing this stuff they'll stand out like a neon light.

David - I agree that the green version is pretty bright. Unfortunately, I live in Arizona where there isn't much opportunity to test it. I have had good luck on the creosote flats with the gray. The copper also blends in well here, depending on where you are...
They used to have some photos of the green on the website where they were standing in the woods (similar to the other ones posted here). It didn't appear to blob up, the way you'd think it would...
Anyway, to each his own

Predator is all I wear. As to why? Lots of choice in patterns, fabrics, etc. Works awesome in my terrains and stands up like no camo I have ever owned to regular washing and hard hunting. Through and through an excellent product and company to deal with!
My favorite come october is still fall grey, mainly due to all the willows and white barked treed areas I hunt. That being said in early sept or spring chasing bruins the "Spring Green" and "Evolution" our dynamite up here. The new favorite in my circle is "Deception", which is even one step further IMHO than the fall brown pattern of yester. In the flats this stuff is plain awesome but it can be worn in the wooded areas as well.

I'm just the opposite as Jeff........I think ASAT is a little better in all situations, but that's just me. They're both OUTSTANDING patterns, and if there was no ASAT for me to wear then I would absolutely wear Predator. Probably Fall Brown.
I think anyone here would be hard pressed to tell the difference between Mossy Tree or Real Oak "any pattern" 18 feet up a tree at 20 yards.........they all look the same, dark and low contrast. Just what an animal sees unless you have similar back cover........a dark blob.
That Snake skin stuff? it looks sort of like camo at 2 feet, but that stuff is going to look like a sea foam green dress shirt at any distance. There's a reason why no animal bigger than a snake has evolved a plain green appearance, or a snake skin pattern for that matter.
