I am trying to replace some camo. I had a set of ScentLok Coveralls in Mossy Oak's Treestand pattern that have suited me perfectly for the last five seasons, but they are showing their age. Apparently they no longer make these coveralls - much less in a pattern I like. All I can find right now in the pattern I want is Under Armour. All of their products have that stupid fluorescent yellow/green accent on the zippers, pockets and don't forget their logo that is tattooed anywhere possible. I want camo that will help me blend in to the natural environment, not be a walking billboard for a company. I HATE THAT!! Super annoyed that I can't replace what I used and really liked.

I don't own anything under armour for that reason, or maybe it's because I'm not cool enough to wear an x on my clothes....
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

don't buy that stuff. spend your money on good underwear, some good polyprolene, or wiggy's, and go get some old woodland bdu's or a.s.a.t. and you'll be set. most modern cammo is designed to be pleasing to the human eye. wash everything in sportwash and you be good to go.

I wear a black hoodie pulled over insulated Carhart. The deer I've killed have never complained about my dress style.

I have some of their Ridge Reaper camo and it works freaking awesome. Hunting in Illinois it blended in perfectly and even my buddy couldn't see me and he knew where I was. It protected from the wind, rain and performed flawlessly.

I refuse to buy any of their outer wear because I am too cheap, but I do have a set of teh UA thermals. After wearing it once, I gave all my old waffle style thermals to my kids. One of the best $100 I ever spent.

Just picked up a pair of their neon yellow accented Storm pants yesterday at Academy; normally $149, on clearance for $49 so I overlooked the neon. It is the carbon internally heated stuff. I have that in Field and Stream' version and they're the warmest pants I've ever worn. No need for base layer when wearing them.

I agree I was looking for a good jacket 3xl and I didn't care what I spent as long as it was going to keep me dry i tried two different academy's and ended up getting the same jacket I saw at the other location same size but different fit thought it was weird Found lots of under armor but all had the logo now days everyone just wants clothes that ( look good) not practical one thing I hate about academy is they are getting away from true sportsman and outdoors and into look good

For the record, I don't own a single piece of under armor. It's out of my price range. But a deer isn't going to notice a bright logo IMO.

I agree the logo won't affect your success rate while hunting but I don't want a giant neon x on me either way advertising them I would rather traditional and not as a fashion statement

The biggest problem I have with UA are the stupid ridiculous prices. $40 for a flippin' t-shirt? Forget that.
I don't even look at their hunting camo on the rack.

I am one of those big fat guys. My solution to find camo that I liked was to purchase the cloth in the pattern I wanted and then have a seamstress sew it up for me. You can purchase GoreTex, Polartec fleece, Mossy Oak fabrics etc and have the seamstress add extra pockets, Velcro sleeve closures, hoods, or anything else you want. I like extra length in my jackets and lots of pockets for my phones, grunt call, water bottle etc.
Luck favors the prepared mind.
