Camo Patterns – Samples of Popular Brands

L.H. Harvey

Each brand of camo hunting clothes has its own proprietary camo patterns. I’ve listed as many of them below as I could find, and I even have a page where I’ve collected images of many of these patterns so you can see what they look like. Click here for the photo gallery.

Finally, I made a video slide show of some of these camo patterns because I really liked them. It’s my first video so don’t be too hard on me. Scroll on down to watch it.

  • Mossy Oak Break-Up
  • Mossy Oak Brush
  • Advantage Max-1 Open Terrain (Advantage Camo)
  • Leaf Pattern
  • Grass Pattern
  • Realtree AP
  • RealLeaf
  • CamWoolflage (Woolrich)
  • Snow Camo
  • Fall Flight (Skyline Camo)
  • Apparition XT (Skyline Camo)
  • Apparition 2.0 (Skyline Camo)
  • Horizon (Skyline Camo)
  • Phantom (Skyline Camo)
  • Excel (Skyline Camo)
  • Excel XT (Skyline Camo)
  • Xtreme (Skyline Camo)
  • Excel Green XT (Skyline Camo)
  • Blaze Horizon (Skyline Camo)

It’s fascinating to notice how detailed and lifelike some of these patterns are. (Click here for the photo gallery.) It’s better if you try wearing different camo patterns and really look at how well they blend in. Take a buddy with you and see what he thinks about how well the clothing works in those areas where you hunt.

If you notice, many of the patterns have both striking and subtle differences that make them better for certain places than others. Notice where your favorite camo blends in the best and then use it whenever you hunt in those areas.  That’s what I do and it works great for me. Just like I have certain camo hunting clothes for the different seasons and weather conditions, I have certain camo for the different areas I hunt.


Where to Get Quality Camouflage Clothing

The best places online for picking up good pieces of camo are the stores in this list.

You can even pick up some decent pieces at Wal-Mart occasionally, but it’s not my favorite. They’re good about keeping a few pieces of camouflage clothing like jackets, coats, gloves, and coveralls in stock though, so if you need something in a hurry, they’re good in a pinch.

As for brick and mortar stores, I like going to Big Daddy’s, Bass Pro, and Sportsman’s Warehouse when I need to see stuff before I buy it, but most of these places have good return policies, so I don’t worry about it much.

Used Camo Hunting Clothes

Yes, you can get great deals on used camo clothes. I swear I’m not off my rocker on this. Good quality camo makes sense and a good place to get it if you’re a little short on cash is to pick it up used, especially if you’re buying the camo for fast growing juvenile hunters.

Buying used clothes is the best way to get your camo cheap. Especially with children, used camo is a great option. They grow out of their hunting clothes so fast that it can get very expensive to keep them properly dressed for hunting. Look for deals at yard sales, garage sales, estate sales, auctions, consignment shops, children’s used clothing stores, thrift stores, and even on ebay.

I tend to get most of my hunting clothes at Bass Pro because they have good customer service and I like how easy they make it to return stuff if it doesn’t work. They also sell many of the brands I use, even if they don’t have all of them.


Camo Hunting Clothes Are Must Have Apparel

L.H. Harvey

When I hunt, I don’t do it without camo hunting clothes. Some people hunt in whatever they have in their closet and that’s probably fine for them. But if you watch any of the pros, you don’t see guys out in the woods in their jeans and t-shirts. You see hunters dressed to hide. Camouflage clothes of some kind have been used by hunters for thousands of years. The only difference today is that technology has allowed camo creators to make camo so real you can barely even tell there’s a hunter in the woods.

We’ve all seen the videos. Camo works. And serious hunters know it. We use our camouflage hunting clothes, whether it’s grass, timber, realtree, mossy oak, or even blaze, and we take down animals we would never have been able to get close enough to kill without them.

So you might be wondering what a site about camo hunting clothes is going to be about—what I’ll be able to say about the camo clothes, I mean, because I’m sure you know I’m going to be talking about camo clothes and how they relate to hunting—and why I even bothered to put up this site.

Frankly, it’s because I like camo a lot, and there’s a lot to say about it. Your camo is only as good as your care of it. If you don’t treat your camouflage clothing right then it’s not going to do you much good when you get it out in the woods (or wherever it is you’re hunting).

Camouflage hunting clothes are meant to keep you invisible from the game animals you’re tracking. You can’t stay invisible if your camo clothes are loaded with ultraviolet dyes from regular detergents, nor can you stay invisible or properly camouflaged if your camo is covered with human scents.

So, those are what I’ll be going on about on this site. Camo is versatile, durable, and cool to wear. Put on a camo t-shirt, some camo pants, and a good-fittin’ camo hat, and let’s go get some supper. Hell, go ahead and throw on those camo boots while you’re at it. Your momma wouldn’t want you to get to the table half-dressed. (Might want to take that cap off before you say Grace though.)
