The purpose of this investigation was to determine if there is a difference in the delectability and visibility, by human observers, of clothing made from solid orange vs. camouflage orange cloth.
Results: For detectability, 79% found solid orange more detectable that camouflage orange…. It remains to be determined if this finding is true over a wide variety of hunting environments and situations.
So says the report “Detectability and Visibility of Solid Hunter Orange Vs.
Camouflage Hunter Orange To Human Observers” by Kelly Olson and Todd Childs of the Southern California College of Optometry.
(Thanks to investigator Ken Belcher for bringing this to our attention.)
