The stuff I have seen looks good to me, but it is all just regular clothing.

I doubt it can be seen. But could someone post a picture of these super bright patterns that you got. Just curious in the difference form the webpage and actual thing.

Mossy Oak Duck Blind is like Mossy Oak Brush -- you've got to look long and hard to find some that are the "right" color.

Bought some thin nylon (think fishing shirt material) pants that you could turn into zippered shorts. Looked real good. Lots of brown with some gold (as in dead grass gold). Really blend in well where I hunt. Tried to buy some more at Bass Pro. No way. Way too bright. The shirts and pants almost looked silver with pinkish-red highlights. Some were worse than others, but they looked nothing like the good ones I had.

Saw some good-looking scent-block stuff there, but who needs scent-block (and scent-block prices) to hunt ducks?

They have some serious quality issues with some of their licensees.

I think the camo would really be fine. You just have to hunt to find the right colors.

My experience is that the "bad" colored clothing outnumber the "good" colored clothing by four-or-five to one (at least as far as the light nylon clothing goes). Some stores have nothing but the "bad" colors.

Its a shame too. Really would like to give them some more of my money.

Seriously....just hit with some brown spray paint. You might could even use brown shoe polish... :?
It couldn't hurt especially if you are keeping them. :wink:

I have seen some duck blind that looked really good and then I have seen some that looked like a flashing neon sign.
I just played it safe and bought some bottomland.

What happens to the mud when you get them wet?

The part below the water stays muddy. The part above don't get wet. If it does, mud it again. Or, just don't buy any more chitty waders! :wink:

I think Hole Hunter has the right idea. If you plan on keepin' em there are plenty of ways to darken 'em up. Just my 2 cents.

Oh happy day!

Cessna 733, break right and make a low pass over that blindingly bright object in that duck blind down there. Is that...do you think....? Roger, target acquired. Send the ground units in, that's GH22 down there. Easy, fellas, I'll orbit overhead for close air support. He's got an Echo and ain't afraid to use it. It's signed and numbered, also, so don't touch it or you'll be sued for damages. Roger, 733, we're sending in Jones.
