NaturalGear^TM is science. Its pattern is a non-manipulated, soft-edged photographic image of natural elements. It has the colors of nature, without all the technical "artistic" details (sticks and leaves) that clutter other camouflage patterns. They simply refuse to cave-in to the whims of merchandising. If you want to make a fashion statement by wearing the "latest" sticks-and-leaves artwork, so be it. If you want to disappear naturally, with a pattern that's open, soft, shadow-free, versatile, and totally devoid of sticks-and-leaves, wear NaturalGear!
