bgc Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I am looking for some camouflage clothing that is "comfortable" in the summer. Anyone out there have any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Tactical or real people camo?I'm not going to be a big help, but I'll give my opinion of what I use. I own a bunch of Remington mossy oak stuff. It matched up well here in Northern Calif. Lightweight, and breathes well. It also holds together nicely. Not much wear and tear after about 5 years. Only gripe is that it fades pretty quick. I mostly just wear the camo button up shirt and some blue jeans, but I have the whole set just in case.Best part of it all... Comes no where near breaking the bank. Saves me money for my other toys <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgc Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Thanks, opinions are what I'm looking for. I am looking for anything that works real people or tactical. Where did you buy the Remington camo? Yesterday it was 95 degrees and high humidity here in central Ohio. Sitting in a heavily treed valley, it gets really uncomfortable.

survivalshop Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I think any thing that's" rip stop" is light weight. I used to use the old Rip stop BDU's in woodland camo.I gun hunt in Ohio every year ,lived there my first fifty years of my life.The Gander mountain here sells some light weight stuff, you might want to look there.

bgc Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 I'm looking for ripstop,light weight BDU'S (or equivalent) in woodland or deciduous forest colors. I went out in the hills of southern Ohio for 7 hours today, upper 80's, high humidity, and NO WIND. I did have some forethought and froze several bottles of water. I then place the bottles in the magazine pouches, kept me a bit cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Fire up some research on the military issued sizes, and I'll grab some woodland rip-stops for you.There's XS, S, M, L, XL on the normal sizes, but then there's length added into those sizes, too. Short, Regular, Long, then the crazy stuff. I never did meet anyone that had a set of XL, XS (Extra Large, Extra Short) uniforms, though... <laughs>I used to wear Medium Regular tops, but switched them all out to Large Short to keep the sleeve length the same, but give more "breathability" in the roomier top. Things to think about... <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgc Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 My legs are harry enough but the pasty white skin glows under all lighting conditions. I stand out like a sore thumb in greenery. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Forgot about this, but I'll get back on it this weekend - sorry, man. I'll have a set shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWshooter Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I wear camoflaged bug proof pants when it gets hot around here. They're just light weight netting like you would use for a head net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgc Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 SWshooter, great idea! The weather has changed quickly here. 93 on Sunday and 66 on Monday and it has stayed cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
