An experiance I had some years ago made me think. My mates had all gone for an evening hunt in another direction. I got back from my hunt before them. Tahr hunting shelter hollow area. Just on last light I spotted them coming down a face half a k away. Or rather I spotted two of the three. All were wearing swazi jackets. two were wearing camoflage ones, the other was wearing the tussock brown one. The camo had just turned to dark black and you could see distinctly from that distance in low light, sharp edged black silhouettes moving down the face.
The lighter coloured plain jacket was invisible.

We choose our clothing generally going off of what we see in daytime in a store or from adverts. But probably half of our hunting is evening and morning at low light. Id suggest most camo on the market is too dark for those hours.
