For hunters, effective concealment is the key to success, especially in lush, densely vegetated environments. Sitka Gear has once again revolutionized camouflage with the introduction of its OPTIFADE Cover pattern, designed specifically for greener seasons. Built on a foundation of scientific research and extensive field testing, this new pattern is set to become the gold standard for hunters pursuing game like ungulates and turkeys in forested or overgrown terrain.
Science Meets Stealth
OPTIFADE Cover employs the principles of SITKA’s renowned OPTIFADE concealment technology. Rather than merely imitating the natural surroundings, it disrupts the way animals perceive shapes, colors, and movement. Ungulates and turkeys, in particular, rely on unique visual cues to detect predators, and the Cover pattern is engineered to break up the human silhouette, making it difficult for these animals to detect hunters in thick foliage. SITKA’s research also focused on their sensitivity to UV wavelengths, using UV spectrometer testing to ensure the pattern blends seamlessly into the environment.
Perfect for Dense Vegetation
The brilliance of the Cover pattern lies in its adaptability to environments with dense vegetation. Whether you’re under the canopy of a forest or navigating areas with tall grasses and underbrush, this pattern works to keep you unseen. The coloration and design blend seamlessly with the varied textures and colors of your surroundings, ensuring you remain hidden even when animals are close.
Where it is Most Effective
OPTIFADE Cover is designed to deliver optimal concealment for hunters across the eastern US, adapting to different environments and seasons. In the East, it provides excellent camouflage during the early season, blending seamlessly into areas with dense tree cover. In the Southeast, this gear remains highly effective throughout the year, offering reliable concealment in the region’s thick, varied vegetation, keeping hunters hidden across all seasons.
Field-Proven Success
Tested by professional hunters and designed using real-world feedback, the OPTIFADE Cover pattern has proven its effectiveness in a range of hunting scenarios. It not only helps hunters remain unseen, but also enhances the overall hunting experience by providing an edge that increases the chances of success.
