I just got a Swiss "Alpenflage" Jacket, rucksack and hat for $30 shipped. It stands out when you're not trying to be concealed but, in the thick hard and soft mixed forests here it blends in really well.

I actually works in the local foothills during autumn. It would be a lot better without the black, though.

Haha I guess the swiss called it fruit salad pajamas.
I guess the black helped with early night visions and would break up the profile even more. same with the red. And red is hard for the eye to distinguish at distance and it just kind of turns into a brownish color until you get much closer. And yeah, being in the hills in Vermont, I think it's perfect.

I'm pretty happy with the fit! sleeves are a tad short but, I'm also 6'2. My Swiss winter jacket's sleeves are a bit short too so I was expecting it. My only complaint is one of the latches on the jacket to hook the sack on is missing the clip witch locks the sack on. But oh well it still works! And it was only $11!

I'm positive I have something like that. Got it from Sportsman's Guide quite a few years ago. It was so inexpensive I couldn't help but buy it. Mine is similar to my old military field jacket, except this alpenflage thing is so heavy, I can't wear it.
yeah I don't see this as something you'd want to be wearing down your way for the weight/thickness and pattern. up here in the NE it's great.
