I wanted to see if I am seeing this correct, or if it matters? I really like the Predator Camo pattrrns. I have a fleece fall gray suit. Some Spring green shirts and fall gray shirts. I also have some brown and green deception in various pieces.
I am looking at getting the new adtenaline series jacket and pants. I want to get spring green but it looks like it is really white? Most of the SG I have the lightest color is a light tan a more subdued color. But on the adtenaline series there doesn't appear to be any tans, it looks very white!
In the adrenaline series , the green deception coloring looks more similar to most of the SG I am familiar with. . I realize that different materials will sometimes make patterns look different but this looks more like a coloring difference. when you go on their website you will notice that when you compare the SG. In adrenaline to SG in say cotton you will see what iam saying. or if you compare GReen deception in adrenaline to GD in cotton tge cotton is much darker and not as light?
I have not seen these pieces in person but only oics online. anyone else notice this in person?
I think I am leaning more towards the green deception in the adrenaline.

Im interested in the #241 pants in Fall Gray. Cant find any good pics. Anybody have any input about these? Are they made out of a stretchy material like Core4 or Sitka or Kuiu?
-
Keith , the #241 pants and 240 jacket is wha5 im looking at also
-
I will work on some pictures of those items now. Steve the SG adrenalin we have instock looks like what you are wearing in you avatar picture. Not white at all I guess I would describe it as a greenish tan/ light green
-
Keith we will have some of the pants with us at Denton hill in June or at Baltimore in May

David , if thats the case, I will go with the SG I was afraid it looked really white on the website.

:clapper: :clapper: that's a terrific sponsor :clapper: :clapper:

David, how "shiny" is the material? I'm a huge predator fan but have been hesitant because the warp knit material appears very shiny in the photos I've seen. Thanks.
-
Most of the poly materials seem to have a shine to them until they are washed. Theh it dulls down.
-
The High Plains is awesome as well I really liked hunting in it this year. The only thing I would change on it is a chest pocket. Will definitely be getting some of the adrenaline, for early season. The high plains is not near as shiny as it looks in the pics on the website.

well I ordered the SG jacket and pants today. I hope its as nice as everyone says.
-
Keep me posted.

Ok, got the Adrenaline jacket and pants in SG today. Here are my initial thoughts. The white look on the lightest color was NO worry. It is NOT white like it appears in some of the online photos. It is a tannish color like I had hoped it would be like some other SG stuff I have had. The quality is very nice. The jacket is very nice especially with the micro fleece lining. The pants do not have any lining and are just the thin material like others have stated. I was looking for a early season lightweight outfit and thats what I got.
Fit and sizing seem on, I wear a large shirt or coat in everything and this fits fine, not real tight fiting and has a little bit of room for layering. pants I wear a 32 so I got the medium and they fit fine also. I could get a thin layer of merino wool under them if need be.
The outfit is not "shiny" but does have a little bit of a shine to it.
It seems quiet but not wool or fleece quiet. Of course I think after its washed, the shine will lessen and it will probably become a little quieter.
I think it will be great for early season but I would guess it would snag if you were beating the brush and walking through thickets.
I have had KUIU attack pants before and these are thinner. The KUIU I had was unlined pants and jacket. They were the original offerings from KUIU. I think those pants were more durable but I think I like Predator Jacket better with the lining.
I also have a Sitka outfit but it is a heavier weight I'm guessing like the Predator High Plains series.
For the price of this Adrenaline, I don't think you will be sorry! I love the camo pattern and the quality looks good.
Finally, a shout out to St.Joe River Bows, they told me they had to get the pants in from Predator because they did not have a Medium in stock and it would ship on Thursday. It did ship out on Thursday and arrived 2 days later.
Now to get rid of this cold and snow and go test it a little!
-
Good deal I like my highplains a lot. I also have sitka stratus and the highpains is nowhere near as thick as it. I think I will be adding an early season adrenaline combo as well.
-
Good review. Sounds like I will have to get some before spring.
-
I had "odd" experiences with the Predator Grey but not with the older Predator Brown...but alas, as with most camo I learn to like, that PB is now not shown...
PB blended in all terrain and even with darker conifer backgrounds well...the Grey tended to stand out and I got busted or alerted way too many critters...that was reserved for late season tree stand only.
Good to see the pattern doing well and being accepted.
-
Thank you for the review Steve and the shout out to us.
We will have both the Adrenlin and the High Plains wear at The pre Spring Fling next weekend and at our booth the PBS Banquet in March in Cincy

I have the regular SG pants, but have adrenalin jacket and love them! Wore the spring green even after there was no green left and it still did superb. I was really impressed with how many deer looked right at me and didn't even do a head bob. One younger buck was directly under my stand and eyeballed me and kept on doing his thing. It was neat!
