“STICKS & LEAVES” CAMO IS EXPLOIT THE WEAKNESSES OF A desolve camouflage
Animal vision differs significantly from human vision yet the idea of concealing ourselves from the human eye has dominated the hunting camouflage market internationally. That is until now. Common sense tells us that if we can’t see the hunter, the animal can’t either. Science challenges those perceptions and Desolve® Deception Camouflage has produced the evidence. A hunting camouflage system that works with its environment and the weaknesses in animal vision to take you out of the picture. This replaces our passive attempts to hide with the confidence of active concealment. Reducing the range of engagement is front of mind for hunters, the challenge for any camouflage is concealing you effectively at any range. Patterns that mimic your surroundings depend on ideal conditions and a constant landscape. They work with the human eye, ultimately producing a false confidence. We are programmed to believe what we see but when it comes to hunting, it is more effective to believe what animals see.
SN’T ENOUGH ANIMAL VISION www.desolvecamouflage.com
EXPLOIT THE WEAKNESSES OF ANIMAL VISION Desolve® Concealment has taken scientific research and learnings from apex predators to develop camouflage patterns that give hunters the best chance of success. Research has proven that the vision of Deer and other hooved animals (ungulates) is quite different to human vision – they simply don’t see things the way we do. They have an amazing 280 degree field of view (which is much wider than the human’s 120 degree field) allowing the animal to scan the horizon for
predators. Their weaknesses are impaired visual acuity and dichromatic color vision. Tigers and Leopards have been using their own evolutionarily perfect camo for millennia – allowing them to successfully hunt various hooved animals including elk, deer, gazelle, impala and wildebeest. They are the ultimate predators hunting in a variety of climates with various fauna. Sticks and leaves is not an option.
IMPAIRED VISUAL ACUITY
DEER VISION WEAKNESSES PREDATOR RESPONSE
Ungulates have 20/40 vision which means that everything is blurrier than human vision. Squint your eyes and you’ll see what it is like.
DICHROMATIC VISION Hooved animals have been determined to lack the cones required to easily discern colors in the red spectrum. They are effectively red-green colorblind instead seeing things as various shades of grey, brown and yellow.
MACRO & MICRO PATTERNS
DEER VISION WEAKNESSES PREDATOR RESPONSE
desolve camouflage
Tigers and leopards are apex predators that hunt in varied terrain yet their camouflage is not at all like the mimicry sticks and leaves camouflage that many human hunters wear. Instead they use a combination of micro patterns to effectively fade into the background when at close range and macro patterns to break up the shape of their body as they move. COLOUR & CONTRAST Evolution has ensured the big cats are at the top of their apex – color and contrast has a lot to do with that. The base color of the pelt is one that ungulates struggle to discern while the high contrast black stripes and spots add depth to the camouflage, suggesting shadows and distance.

Being a crisp cold morning you set out on your day hunt with all your layers on.
As your hunt progresses your body temperature increases so you take off your jacket.
The day has warmed up as you’re climbing a hill so you remove a upper Furnace layer and open your pit zips to dump heat.
With the sun on your face and the last of the hard grind ahead, your prime base layer keeps you comfortable to push on.
Your lunch break gets cut short as the day clouds over and the heavens open up. On goes the Barrier layer to stay dry.
The end of the day draws near and the temperature drops rapidly. A Furnace layer is added to keep warm.

TARGETING THE WEAKNESSES IN WATERFOWL VISION
A bird’s eye view is very different to ours, camouflage patterns designed to mimic the horizontal picture we see of reeds and grasses look foreign to a bird flying high above. The Desolve® Wing™ pattern disrupts the bird’s vision of you and exploits the inability of waterfowl to fill in the blanks in what they see. Desolve® Wing™ has been designed to disrupt the specific and complex vision of waterfowl making you invisible through deception.

You can add more than one layer here to adjust your body temperature to the desired level. Furnace layers can be worn with or without a Barrier layer, depending on the conditions, use and personal preference. Furnace garments are semi fitted so they will layer comfortably. As this layer is often used without another layer on top it is important to have good sized, strategically located zipped pockets.

PRIME LAYER
(BASE)
NEXT TO SKIN MOISTURE CONTROL and insulation The climate varies dramatically within seasons. Cool summer mornings with high daytime temperatures and low temperatures all day in winter require specialised fabrics. For this reason we have developed two prime layer options: Prime Summer and Prime Winter.
PRIME SUMMER The Prime Summer range rapidly wicks moisture from your skin, drying so fast you feel the refreshing effect of evaporative cooling, which increases comfort on those long hot summer hunts. It features OdorKILL™ and Scent Shield™ technology which kills the bacteria that causes odor, keeping your Prime Layer smelling fresh for longer. Scent Shield™ technology is a scientifically advanced technology that helps block your scent from reaching your prey.
PRIME WINTER The Prime Winter range is designed specifically to provide quality insulation and maintain body temperature during the colder months. We have used quality materials with unparalleled wicking and drying ability, featuring OdorKILL™ and Scent Shield™ technology to minimise odour. This range is essential for the winter hunter to maintain body heat and keep dry.
