Max 1 or Mountain Mimicry?

[blackveltbowhunter]

What your describing as far as your elk terrain I would give the nod to the MM. Max 1 is an awesome pattern as well, and if you were spending alot of time chasing critters on the eastside I would lean that way. But in the darker backgrounds, timber, shadows, etc.... Max 1 is a little to bright for my liking.

I really think the MAX-1 is a good all around camo - I have worn it with confidence from the Pac Crest to the Pac Coast.  It has enough green to work well in the lowlands and up on the slopes.  It's the first pattern I use out of the three main ones I have - Max-1, Realtree AP Green, and Predator Deception Green.  I like the big open pattern for breaking up your form.  I think the dark patterned camo's really show your siloette a lot more.  If you are standing in the shadows, those shadows are going to darken you just as much as the rest of the things around you.  No need to try to be darker than your surroundings.

Best pattern I have found in WA state is Predator Spring Green. Predator Green Deception is awesome too and Predator is now making it (green deception)  in a tightly woven light weight micro fleece pant and top. I have both and they are awesome. They wear like iron and dry out very quickly. Tons of great pockets in the pants and light weight. The pattern cannot be beat...unless its later in the season then the Predator Fall Grey is flat unbeatable.

If i had to pick one of the two I would go with MM as well. Its a nice pattern

With all the deals on camofire.com I think I might buy both patterns! Has anyone bought Core4Element, is it a quality product?

Wish my sitka was in Max-1. I have MM, it's alright, good if you are in rocks, but I don't like hunting in rocks. Too noisy.

I love my sitka MM 2.0. Infact I like the pattern so much that I'm holding out buying anything else. I've been scooping it up on camofire and ebay for pennies on the dollar since everyone else is switching to the new patterns and KUIU.

Are you asking for fashion sense or utility? Because the animals don't care as long as your profile is broken. They're pretty much color blind. i think the only thing that would stand out is a black double-breasted suit. Don't get one of those. My hunting partner likes to match his camo up. I secretly think it's for him to look at in the mirror.

X2 on the Predator patterns or ASAT.


I have tried Sitka  gear extensively the past 2 years and have found it to be too noisy moving through sage and and thick underbrush on bow hunts.  pants and jacket soaked on a moose hunt in BC. Last year when it rained every day. Not that water proof. IMO.

Very comfortable and dries quickly though.Good barrier in wind but over heated on long hikes.

Decent gear for open area rifle hunts.


I will Stick with wool,  Cabelas micro Tex and fleece and carry light rain gear when needed.

First light and Kuiu good gear to look into and good camo patterns

I like Max 1 camo. Looks like it'd fit in most any where.

 Russell APX garments are now in Mountain Shadow give it a look.

I've been buying mostly Max1 this year.
