I really like kuiu stuff, but honestly I HATE their camo patterns, I deal with it but its certainly about the least of my choices if I am choosing. I hunt a lot of sage brush and they really don't have much of an option for sage. Sitka optifade works awesome in the sage. The old verde 1.0 was actually their better sage brush pattern. so what do they do they take the pattern and add black to it. IMO adding darker colors is a mistake with camo. If you are going to lean toward anything lighter colors IMO work better. I get the whole notion of break up. I was a predator camo user back in the day.
