Title: Shiney clothes
Post by: swampthing on December 29, 2009, 01:27:00 PM
Curious as to the shine factor of berber fleece as well as micro tex from cabelas. Both are offered in outfitter camo. Berber fleece "seems" like it would not reflect light much because of the "Sherper Fleece" style it is spun into, micro tex is a flatter material but is more like a tweed. Anyone test these in the sun shine? All fabric will reflect light {basis for color vision} but do "these" polyester products shine like a flat piece of military bdu fabric?

Just by chance I do happen to own both the Berber Fleece (pullover) and Microtex (shirt/pants).

Haven't really put these to any test. Can just give you my general opinion.

The Berber fleece is very thick, almost shag rug like.  I believe that it would reflect light about as much as a shag rug would..  None to little.  Its also very warm and comfortable.  One of my favorites.

The Microtex is a totally different fabric, as you know.  Its quite light weight, and thin.  A flat weave much like a regular cotton shirt, but wit a nap.  I could see it as reflecting a little more, but surely not much to worry about.
But it is soft and quiet.

I would think that the Microtex would reflect quite a bit due the make-up of the fabric. Hap
