very impressive. I can think of a lot of possibilities, unfortunatly some idiots out there will screw it up if it comes to pass and is made avalable to the general public.

Seriously

Who'd want that ?? Confused

Its a good idea in theory but probrobly has many bugs it needs to work out to make it good for hunting/outdoor purposes. Smile

Its probrobly reasily ruined since its probrobly like glass if it gets dirty or scratched it doesnt look as good anymore. And its probrobly priced out of the range of everyone but goverments. Sad

And if I had my way I'd only be wearing Olive Drab or black/red plaid shirts while hunting but my hunting partners make it a big deal so I'm stuck with MossyOak Sad

Most animals you hunt are color blind...Who or what are you hiding from anyway...???

Hehe, well I know i'd want that if I was in Iraq right now laying in the desert with a rifle. But as far as hunting goes...if you need to be "invisible" when you hunt well, thats not hunting i duno what that is. But yea, as far as being available to the public...good luck, imagine the places you could go but shouldnt. Surprised

Maybe you could sneak up on the fish, fishingdude7...Actually it looked a bit shinny...Might attract the hunter/fisherman...

Deer, elk, moose and like animals (Food on the hoof) see only black and white plus living shades of gray. As long as you are wearing something that breaks up the straight lines of your body and don't move they can't see you...The second you move even camo won't help...In camo one (or at least I) would end up getting shot by rookies and non-rookies that make sound shots and shoot before making sure of their target. Just like our Vice-President...

Deer see UV light quite well so that might pose a problem Smile

As for wearing this while hunting makes it seem unsporting. Kinda like thouse Predetor movies when the predetors sneak up on the people because they cant see him at all and you know. It doesnt seem like a good step to take for hunting anyways. Confused

Humans give off UV rays??? Funny...I never noticed. and the deer that have gone down before my .30-30, .30-06 and .357 magnum Colt didn't seem to notice...
