layer up. Wool based undergarments such as icebreaker. Costco also has a decent wool blend underwear for a bit less money. After that, wind is your biggest problem. Tyvek suits work well to cut the wind but tear easily in the bush and are noisy. Wool based outer wear from Gostwear will work great if temps are low. Camo is subjective, I find wind and slow movement with background more important than blending. I wear carhartt as well but is bad if freezing rain hits. Hunt smarter, try to not get too sweated up, frequent glassing breaks, watch the wind, sky lining is bad. Pad for sitting as well. Cheap foam things from can tire or wherever are a saviour to keep bum from getting wet when taking breaks for glassing or lunches.

I like the cabelas O2 octane. Reasonably priced a bunch of options for every season.

Other folks in the party have remarked that the British Desert DPM I had worked well in dry grass steppe. Cheap too.

Although, I'm not sure that being the hardest for the other humans to see was the best strategy.

I care way more about quiet than color. I only wear camouflage so the other hunters don't see me. It doesn't take much to fool them there humans. Don't move and any lighter camo will work without snow, with snow, choose all white, and your good to go in open or bush. Them bunnies know the ticks.

I’ve had numerous elk, moose, deer look at me inside 25-30 yards in First Lite Fusion and have had much better results with it than anything else I’ve worn. It takes animals noticeably longer to figure out what I am when I’m wearing it. I hunt in it early season, late season and the duck blind and it works really well in all situations. The gear is really excellent too and the company has great ethics. I’ve also hunted in realtree max1, asat, multicam, kuiu vias and early sitka patterns for reference.
