But did add that if any pattern was a rip off of his design it was ASAT. If they did in fact say such a thing.Īdditionally, Greg Haskell, the designer of Skyline, also made remarks that PREDATOR was a rip off of his design, but upon the designer of PREDATOR calling him up and talking to him about it, took back his comments as he suggested it was just a 'knee jerk' reaction to someone else coming out with a good pattern that was designed to do the same thing his was designed to do i.e. So you can plainly see any comments coming from an 'ASAT rep' could only be construed as them not knowing what they were talking about and trying their best to try to hammer their #1 competitor. Seems like if it were a 'direct rip-off' of any patterns that they would've caught that fact and not issued the patents. PREDATOR was granted 2 separate design patents by one of if not THE best and largest, most prestigious, competant patent law firms in the world i.e. The similarities end with the light background. There are no varying tones of colored blotches. ASAT has a light background with lines that mimic.who knows.sort of look like deer antlers to me, on top of the light background. PREDATOR has LARGE blotches of varying tones of colors with a light background with an overlying black branch pattern. 'The similarities are unmistakeable.' Seriously, if you think that, you need to.well lets just say that the patterns aren't even close to being the same.

How could something be a 'rip off' if the designer had never even seen ASAT when he designed PREDATOR?Ģ. damn near beat me to death with its wings!!)ġ.

My ghillie suit weighs a ton when wet, but I have grabbed a hen turkey by the foot because it is such damn good cover (notice I didn't say that I was able to HANG ON the turkey. Saddle cloth is reasonable quiet, and water resistant, but not water repellant. as my white anorak is nylon, thus somewhat scratchy and not real quiet, but it is 100% windproof. I have as many camo patterns as most women have shoes!! It isn't just the camo pattern that is important, it is also the fabric (sometimes you need fleece for warmth and stealth), and other times you have to sacrifice a little noise for wind protection. I actually have an embarrassing assortment of camo clothes. However, I don't believe that any one pattern will work in any and all situations. Both factors make a big difference, IMHO.

Not only was I wearing the ASAT pattern, I had the '3-d' version, as I have been a huge '3-d' camo fanatic since I left the military. In certain grassy areas, my guide told me that I was very difficult to see, even at close distances. I used ASAT camo on a grizzly bear hunt in northern Alaska.

Diy asat camo
