GORE™ Optifade is scientifically designed to make you disappear, while traditional camouflage merely attempts to blend in. Partnering with experts across the continent and leading research into the study of animal vision allows us to design concealment patterns rooted in disrupting what specific game see.

A new, science-backed and field-proven methodology to concealment in greener seasons. Crafted through collaboration with top researchers from the University of Georgia, Cover utilizes the principles of Optifade concealment in tandem with patterning and coloration that disrupts the vision of ungulates and turkeys in densely vegetated environments. In a region where hunting heritage is of chief priority, Optifade Cover is bound to set a new standard in concealment and become the root of new traditions.

Optifade Elevated II is the ultimate whitetail pattern for treestand hunters in the mid to late season. Developed with top ungulate researchers from the University of Georgia, Elevated II uses a proprietary geometry and color palette based on how deer see the world. This pattern keeps the hunter imperceptible from deer viewing them from below against a background of sparse foliage and bright sky, making Elevated II the ideal camouflage for hunters once the leaves begin to fall.

This first-of-its-kind pattern was developed to fool the eyesight of mountain-dwelling ungulates above the tree line in the unforgiving landscapes those animals call home. The larger neutral areas within this pattern are critical to obscuring detection in more open environments where cover is scarce. Use this pattern in the high alpine chasing rams and mountain goats or on hunts for mule deer and antelope on the open plains or rocky desert.

Optifade Subalpine is our most versatile pattern for spot and stalk hunting in vegetated terrain. Designed to support big game hunters in the intermountain Rockies, this pattern is supremely adaptable to myriad environments across North America. It works equally well in the shadows of the dark timber chasing elk, in scrub brush and grassy flats pursuing mule deer, and has a proven track record as a turkey kit in the western U.S. If your hunt will be spot and stalk within the tree line, Subalpine is your pattern.

Optifade Marsh is purpose-built for layout and blind hunters across all flyways. It utilizes a swirling color palette to exploit the vision of birds circling high above and keep the hunter concealed in standing crops, stubble fields, grassy wetlands and marshes. This supremely adaptable pattern can take the duck hunter from early Teal season in Florida or Texas all the way through the frozen field hunts for Canada geese in the Midwest or front range.

Optifade Timber is the perfect tool for the ever-changing landscape encountered by the dedicated flooded timber duck hunter. This pattern was created to use the reflection of the sky and canopy from the water’s surface to conceal the hunter from view of working birds. It also uses a darker toned shadow layer to keep the hunter hidden when tucked into a tree as birds descend into the hole. Optifade Timber is most effective in the Central and Mississippi flyways but will prove valuable to any duck hunter in dark environments, including sea duck hunters along rocky coastlines.
