Can anyone tell me the purpose of the Red and Black camo suits available...?

Question

I am not aware of any surroundings where this red and black CAMO would be applicable, or of any value.
Can someone enlighten me to on this?

Answer 1

Its simpley designed to confuse what ever may be looking at it from a distance, Like most camo suits they work best in the appropriate environment

Answer 2

Urban Camo

Answer 3

Many of the European military camos have red in them. I'm no camo expert, but I heard it confuses the eye at a distance in shadow and low light conditions. However, these contain green as the predominate color and red is only a small part of the pattern.

I highly suspect the Red and Black is a fashion statement.

Answer 4

My first experience with red and black camouflage was in a Tactical specialty shop in Georgia by the name of Ranger Jo’s, I too had to inquire about its value and use.
So I asked one of the stores manager, The response was that it was “Urban Camouflage” for law enforcement specialist.
At my interest the manager showed me some sales brochures that showed it in use in an urban setting, its best effect was when used around red brick exteriors of buildings and even in other urban areas it did work well, for shades of both red and black are common in this setting.
The manager told me it was normally a special order item for S.W.A.T teams and Counter Terrorist teams.
This was not something the normal hunters use.
Hope this helps.

Answer 5

I agree with the first two guys if it really designed for hunting. I've even seen pink camo and other wild colors, which people wear for fashion, but have no real value in disguising the wearer in either urban or non-urban environments.

Answer 6

The guy above is right, but failed to name the advantage that they are highly visible to other hunters, making you less likely to get accidentally shot. The biggest cause of accidental hunting shootings in the US is that the shooter catches a movement out of the corner of his eye, swings round and fires off at the movement, which just happens, tragically, to be another hunter. So making yourself highly visible is a really good idea!!

Answer 7

I haven't seen red & black. Could it be hunter orange? There's a fair amount of that out there for deer hunting. The irregular pattern breaks up the visual outline, and the orange, while quite visible to other hunters, is fine for deer hunting, since deer are color-blind. For hunters in treestands with rifles, it may be a bit of over-doing, but for a bow-hunter on the ground, he needs every advantage he can get in order to get in close.

Answer 8

yup urban camo or fashion statements

Answer 9

I`ve found for most species I hunt colour is irrelivant it`s movement and outline, break up the shape and move as little as posible. good for shooting from hides and in hedges hope this helps, good hunting.
