>>2803104>Why is it that any outdoors gear that's any good has to come in blaze orange, piss yellow, or Red 40?That's simply not the case. Most good gear is made for military use. Not issue gear, generally, but the "buy it yourself to replace the crap you're given" kind of stuff. That's pretty much all black,g reen, brown or camo.
The kind of stuff that's brightly colored is normally meme gear, targeted towards people who go out so seldom that getting lost and needing to signal rescuers seems like a real issue to them.
Japan is a bit of a specialcase here, since they don't have "normal" trais. There, you either have a "trail" that looks more like a road, or you're going cross-country. That's why neon colors don't sell well there, and even cheap, crappy gear like Captain Stag is generally olive or black.
