>>1262523Military gear is made to hold up in extreme conditions. Similarly, camouflaged hunting gear is designed to perform in demanding conditions. I'm sure someone does it better/lighter/more durable in khaki, black, and hot-pink; and you will look tacti-cool wearing it, but there's nothing wrong with the tried and true.
That other gear can be expensive. The hunting gear can be expensive too, as wearing camo is kind of a fad in some places (designer camo; this can make you look like a faggot). However, you can find pretty much all the gear you need at a military surplus; Gear that was meant to withstand crawling in the mud one day, and withstand inspection the next. In my experience, prices are lower (depending on the gear), and they are usually willing to haggle or barter, if you have military gear to trade.
The take-away is that the most important thing is whether or not the gear can meet the demands you put upon it. Camouflaged gear, that's camo for a reason, is meant to be put under certain stress. It's designed to be in the woods/rain/snow, getting dirty and protecting you from the elements. The next thing to consider is cost. If you already have the gear and are worried about how you look, then you are a faggot. If you are going to purchase gear, find the best deal. The final thing to consider is that proper, camouflaged gear serves two purposes: it adequetly protects you from the elements, and helps you to remain concealed. There are times when you need to be seen, for which I recommend a signal panel, and times you don't; and it's tough to hide in the woods when you look like this guy
