Whitetail Forensics Camo

I’ve checked it out in person at a show. The pattern like you stated has an approach similar to Asio but the garment quality in my opinion isn’t there. I basically felt like I was holding extremely over priced walmart clothing. That’s my opinion and it was a year ago so I assume they could have changed something especially as they appear to be growing but it only takes once for me to say no

Looks similar to ASAT but why in the world would have those abbreviations?

I was thinking the same thing, until I opened the link and looked at it. :rolleyes: Looks like some kind of Gucci camo that some city slicker made up and thinks it's going to have any appeal to hunters from the country. o_O Bad marketing ploy, at best.

I wasn't impressed with the Army's digital camo, when it first came out.
After seeing it in action, it works better than I originally thought. :cool: It actually blends in with more environments than you might think.
 
Interesting pattern. I can see what everyone is saying about it. But from the photos on the website it does look to camo quite well on all those backdrops. Assuming the photo lighting etc. wasn’t photoshopped to sell the effect better anyway.

Also with the name… I don’t see how you couldn’t have thought of what we’re all thinking before launching the company/website. Although… looking at the pattern, it still would kinda work that way too lol, considering the styles of patterns were all used to. That’s basically what I would be thinking if I saw it for the first time.

Dazzle camo...more extensively used in WWI. Some modern warships have it. Not so much a concealing pattern as meant to confuse.

With radar and all the fancy technology us civilians have no idea about, I would think camo patterns for warships would be fairly obsolete. Although maybe there’s a signal absorbing component to it like the stealth bomber has.

“As seen in deer vision”
It just seems like marketing ploy line after marketing ploy line. No idea on the quality but from the obvious clickbait name to every line screaming this is what hunters want to hear I’m not even willing to try it out personally. Has a feel to me that we had $100 to spend and $97 goes to marketing.

The ASAT people are good folks and this is an obvious rip-off of ASAT. Not to mention the obvious choice of a “shock appeal” name knowing the social media crowd won’t be able to shut up about it. That combines enough of things I despise to keep me from ever supporting them.
 
It does seem to break up the human outline very effectively having the disruption effect similar to the Predator Fall Gray/Brown and ASAT style camo patterms which I find highly effective. But hey, it’s not Sitka or First Lite camo so it’s probably not worth it!:tonguewink:

So from I heard on a podcast- take it for what it’s worth- it’s a father/son team, completely self funded & they are still working through their first product batch.

This is supposedly their perspective on whitetail vision, & the camo needed.

I kind of like it. I agree it's got an ASAT/predator fall gray feel, I almost bought some but I went with the lighter thlete pattern instead
 
The only camo pattern that ever made sense to me when hunting at height was Broadside Camo. Scott took a bunch of really high res pictures of the canopy during the different seasons. He then combined the photos in each season to come up with a pattern that is an actual picture of what the canopy looks like. A practical and less "scientific" approach to camo. The clothing also supported saddles with bridges. Which actually works well. I'm not sure if Broadside or Versaskins did it first. But it was a really good idea and was nice to see a camo company cater to the saddle. BTW Versaskins is still around and has a saddle option if you want it. Broadside is no more
