What’s the difference between the Forest pattern and the Open Country pattern?
While the original Open Country pattern is optimized for spot and stalk hunting in western mountain environments, the new Forest pattern takes into account circumstances unique to tree stand hunting including: • The elevated angle of attack common in tree stand hunting • The vertical effect of trees, which can make detection of a hunter easier for the prey • Closer engagement distances than those in open country hunting For the GORE® OPTIFADE® Concealment Forest pattern, Gore has manipulated the micro and macro patterns to account for these differences. Gore has optimized the pattern contrast through shading and colorization to account for how deer see when looking up in a wooded environment.
