Some time back we were discussing the differences between Cabela's Outfitter camo and High Plains Outfitter camo. I had bought the Wooltimate jacket in high plains because it was brown and the catalog picture looked dark. When I received it it had mostly light patches on it and ended up being too light for my liking. I now have one in regular Outfitter camo and though still a bit light is comparable to NatGear with green shading that I like. Ultimately I would rather have been able to shop the rack for just the one I liked but last time I was at the Cabela's in Fort Worth they didn't have any Wooltimate on the racks.
Anyway here are side by side comparisons for your information.

I don't mind either camo I really like how the wooltimate with windshear works I've sat through most of January here in Ohio late season with it and haven't gotten cold and we've had some fridgid days.
I have the Outfitter camo and I love it. Very warm.
I like the outfitter camo best,that Wooltimate line is great stuff.
A number of years ago a buddy and I were drivers on a drive. One of the standers had dark camo. He was on the edge of some woods we were walking to drive about 500 yards away. I was look at this dark thing at that distance and my buddy says, "what's that dark piece of crap over there?" He stuck out like a sore thumb. Since then I've liked the lighter stuff. Actually didn't buy the brown because it look too dark. To each his own.
This makes me mad, because I had decided that with it being dark and windstopper, I wouldn't like the color and it would be too noisy. Somewhat decided to spend more money with Gray Wolf.

I wear it more for duck hunting than anything else. Standing against the trees in flooded timber the Outfitter blends very well.
I'd use either without batting an eye.
I used to say the same, too light.
I've since been enlightened. Nice gloves and boots huh? (http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv247/pukingguts/P1030023.jpg)
Here's one at a distance with some veggies around. Look in the center of the frame and you will see the latest "realtree" APG shirt hanging on a limb, see the shoulder out-line? start at the rock, go up and out back 35yds, see it. (http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv247/pukingguts/P1020335.jpg)
No look at it up close, be honest, did you notice the shoulder? :smileystooges: look next to it, on the left, can you see the wool camo shirt? :cool:
I would not worry about it one bit, my wool camo does not have any of those dark green patches whatsoever.
