Found a used Alps Outdoorz Trail Blazer pack for cheap online so I snapped it up (being shipped). Thinking about using it as my main pack next season. Only issue I see is that its Snow/Winter Camo pattern. It look really bright to me, maybe its not as bad once I actually see it in person.

Yes I know, camo doesnt matter as long as its not blue etc etc...
But for early season hunt without snow on the ground, it just look so white to me, just to my HUMAN eye's it stand out a lot. Anyone use their snow pattern gear during the early season and notice anything?
I've been meaning to try the DIY dyeing your pack with RIT. Might even do it just for fun. I am 99% its all in my mind and its psychological, but I just feel more exposed in the early season with so much white material. I assumed that's why the original owner is selling it so cheap. And from looking online, its not a very popular pattern too.
