    Or a neck gaiter you can pull up over your face when in close. Less that a dollar each on AliExpress.

    Yeah, I wear a bit of camo but only to break up my silhouette. In saying that, most camo blends to a single tone at any sort of distance, because the pattern is just too small.

    Wearing something a similar tone to naturally-occurring objects in your hunting area is probably more important - e.g. primarily dark camo can be more visible on open tops than a lighter solid colour.

    I second those who have said high-quality gear is more important than camo. Most hunting brands are less waterproof or breathable than good tramping / climbing oriented gear. Avoid white / too bright and too dark.

    I’m on the fence about blue - it’s good for safety as it is one of the few colours that cannot be mistaken for a game animal, but it is also visible to deer.

    Pink is probably the best thing you can wear Not naturally occurring, but in the red part of the spectrum that deer can’t see.
    erniec and Micky Duck like this.
