if you are really serious about camoflage - for example if you are stalking rare and sensitive species - then you need one of the hi tech version like mossy oak, real tree, avantix etc - check out hunting sites for the best deals.

however for general wildlife watching so long as you practice good field craft (staying down wind, not skylining yourself, moving slowly etc) you dont need this degree of camoflage and high street or army suplus will be fine , but then so will any other suitable garment in black, dark grey, olive green, navy blue or any other muted tone.

Totally agree... Dont wear bright colours , If you can keep still or if you have to move do it slowly and keep of the skyline..and pick clothes that dont rustle. Camo gear in my opinion is only useful if you have covered all the other ways of been stealthy and you are sitting still.

I get my stuff from army surplus. It's built for the job, already worn in, and dries quick.
Don't bother with camo though, never been one for being fashionable (I still ware a 1950's drape jacket to the club)

Advantage Hardwood cammo,in brushed poly/cotton (very quite) is THE only way to go,have had wild deer come up to me at about 15 mts before they realised !.Sitting down or against a tree thus removing the human shape,you could be almost invisible.You do get odd looks though if you have to nip into Tesco's on the way back from the woods !.

I noticed quite a lot of nice dirty green pants and tops at George in Asda at the mo - I got a nice thick mans top half zipped jersey type - very warm for wearing around the house when the heating isn't on but will also go well outside too - was £18 so not exactly cheap but if it does the job....

Just a thought Pauline but do you think Ian would prefer a pair of camouflage knickers for stream photography:
