Anyone have this Asbell Pathfinder ?

[Keefer]

Update: "News Alert" lol...
     Well after asking about the New pathfinder and the only pattern that was in stock my 3xxxl size I decided to just get the pattern mentioned and saved 20% through a special email from Teressa last week . I got the one I asked about for $128.05 after the discount etc. It came in already so I will have it under the tree on Christmas morning.
   I hurried out in my shop and opened the sealed bag it came in and at first I too didn't care for the Blue that was in it but after putting it on and how much easier it was getting on without a fight I looked in the mirror and there is so much other drab colors like dark olive and dark golds I really don't think a deer will detect that Blue. I went and took a picture and played around with the black and white options on my i pod photo thing and actually all the different options and it does not stand out .
  I think as some mentioned that deer see blue has more of what material is being used and if one is wearing a solid color and what detergents are being used not to forget movement.
  I pretty much stay on the ground and most times behind a root ball with lots of down tree branches as back cover and stay seated in a huntmore 360 chair.
    I think I will absolutely love this color and the new kangaroo pouch Teressa added a few years ago with the cell phone or camera pocket.
   Great thinking Mrs. Asbell and If you are reading this I thank you for your quick shipment on this and the email I got for the 20% off last week.
    Mitch I'll pose with it on sometime After Christmas but this one fits me "Perfect" and makes me look a little thinner lol.
   Now I'm not a deer but checked out all I could on that "deer see blue differently then we do" well I am not a deer or doubt the science or study's of it and not going into a debate about it . I will do my own study myself and see how they react to it but as far as I am concerned I actually like it not just for hunting but when just stumping or hanging around the camp with friends as well.
    Plus I got a Super Deal on it from Mrs. Asbell ....Merry Christmas and Thank you Mrs. T once again...

Funny you mention that. When I ordered mine I found it looked pretty different in person and I too found all sorts of colors that I could not detect in the photo.

I have also read that deer see blue very well. I would go with green or brown.

Sam,
  The jacket you see in Black and white is the one with some blue in it.
If someone here knows exactly what a deer see's (not heard or read) but has good sound knowledge and can take that same original color of the Pathfinder in my opening post could you show me here how it would look to a deer please?
  I just remember when I first started hunting I wore blue jeans and had deer walk by me undetected and on some hunts had the safety orange on.
   I am not saying they don't see it differently but I want to know exactly from "Facts" of what this pattern would look like in deer vision .
  I too as said before like olive drabs and shades of browns like my Evening stand green Asbell pullover in this picture but I chose a color they had in stock and it has a few blocks of blue. Navy dark blue to be exact.

Keefer it is really strange. I looked at the black and white photo and  then looked back at the color photo to see what was showing up as a Gray or lighter color. It was the rust color. You surely wouldn't think that. I just read the same article the other day on deer seeing blue hues of color better.  According to your black and white photo I think you are going to be fine and look great in the chosen color for those of us who see in color. The main key to concealment as we all know is to be motionless and it looks like you have that down.

Low rider,
  Thanks and I agree that keeping still as possible is key as well as playing the wind right. I’m not doubting that a deer will see a color different this us humans but this is also a wool fabric compared to a fabric with lots of sheen and the UV factor I would think will look different on wool then say cotton or polyester .
  I notice my Asbell and Swanndri wool clothing have a much more dullness look to them and having the different color patterns that also help in blocking or appearing as a solid blob in the woods .
   If by chance the “Good Lord” blesses me with another deer on the ground as He has with several then I’ll post pictures of that pathfinder with the blue in it.
  And if I get busted a lot I’ll post that too.

Keefer, I have read numerous articles by guys who are supposedly scientific oriented. There has been a lot of research done regarding wildlife vision over the years. Deer see several colors, not just black and white, but I don't think the research has it all nailed down just yet. But, I do believe that they see blue, probably because I have been reading about it for so many years from numerous scientific studies. Either way, just in case, I will still stick with green and brown.
