  • White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) — the primary visual model behind Sitka and W.L. Gore's Optifade concealment system.

    Sitka and W.L. Gore's Optifade was the first commercial camouflage system built around ungulate vision, not human vision. We walk through the macro/micro disruption logic, the dichromatic palette, and what...

  • Three full-body human silhouettes stand side by side on a light gray background, each filled with a different camouflage styles

    Geometric Camouflage Strategies

    Three recurrent approaches are micro-texture fields, dual-scale patterns, and large macro blocks. Each uses geometry and scale shifts to influence how a body is seen—or not seen—across distance and time.

    Self-Decoration to Simulation

    The earliest wearer of camouflage was the hunter. To survive and hunt effectively, prehistoric humans learned to disguise themselves to move unseen through their environments.
