Sitka Gear With Gore Optifade Camo W.L. Gore & Associates partnered with Sitka Gear to produce a high-tech line of hunting apparel in its revolutionary Optifade camouflage pattern. For 2010, the Optifade line introduces a pattern specific for whitetail hunters pursuing their game in forested terrain. The new Big Game Forest pattern was developed with the visual acuity of whitetails in mind. The Optifade system incorporates both a micro and macro pattern that take into account the elevated angle of attack common to tree stand hunting, the vertical effect of trees, and closer engagement distances than are common to open country hunting. The Sitka system offers a range of options for layering in different climes, including base layers, insulation layers and outerwear. (sitkagear.com)
