KW1 Burlap

[gadwall163]

1. Purchased a 12' piece of your KW1 last week and I am confused. The pictures on the web show a detailed design with background designs. The piece I received only has yellow and yellow/green blades of grass and no background on the natural burlap. Is this correct or did I get a bad piece?

2. Will you be coming out with KW2 in burlap?

Thanks,

[jthunts]

I think you got the wrong thing. Correct me if I am wrong but I have never seen any green in KW1

[Dwayne Padgett]

Can you post a picture ?

[gadwall163]

I'll take a picture and post this evening. The pri
mary color is a shade of yellow. I laid the burlap up against marsh grass and the yellow took on greenish highlights.

Could not figure out how to insert picture. Is therea place to pit the pictures so you get them?

[Jason Mears]

You'll need to upload your picture to a webpage. There are tons of places on the internet that allow free storage and uploading of pictures. Once you do that, create a new post and select the insert image button. I believe a toolbox comes up and asks for your URL. Just copy and paste the link to your picture and your set.

I don't have any other KW1 to compare it to. That's why I'm here.

[Stephen Pitt]

Gadwall, the picture you posted up is correct for KW-1 Burlap.

[gadwall163]

Thanks,

Can you recommend another patern that has the depth provided by the KW1 but a darker background.

I am afraid that the KW1 is too light with the natural burlap background.

thanks again

[Rick Frisch]

What are environment are you going to use it in and on what?

thanks,

[Dirt_Bag]

The burlap is a good base layer......With some KW it is good

[takem7]

I know this is a Avery forum but Max 4 is darker and I feel more versitle you can use it in dark areas or throw some grass on it to lighten it up a bit

[TheGooseCommander]

i'd say max-4 also. has alot of openess to that pattern and has alot of depth to the pattern. Too much yellow for me also in the KW1, beautiful pattern but just way too light anywhere unless your standing in reed grass. I mean even then if your seen Duck Camp or Band Hunters, Freddie still stands out pretty bad...

[gadwall163]

Thanks to everyone for the help. Great support.

[Rick Frisch]

I don't agree with you on Max-4 at all. It is easier to make a light blind darker than it is to make a dark blind light.

There isn't any one pattern this is the best for every situation. This is why we are designing camo that is for specific environments. I know what they advertise and market, but if you really think about it; it isn't true.

It all depends where Freddy is, that cattail slough hunt the KW-1 is money. The thing about the pattern is that it works very well in a specific area. It is not like NatGear where they strive for versatility, Avery offers a variety of patterns for individual environments. I was not a big KW-1 fan because out east here in Ontario our fields turn more brown than yellow and I found it was too bright and that I would have preferred a brown tint to the same pattern... then I went Kansas and the stuff is PERFECT out there, all the fields are golden as is all the grass in marshes and along rivers and it just works.

Heres a photo I found, no posing or photoshop I was just out taking pictures and realized it was hard to see where his body was...

Max-4 to me looks great in silage corn fields or equally dark muddy areas, but beyond that I don't see many areas where it works great, and its not for lack or trying.

Maybe I should have went more in depth I think it makes superb clothing but I would like my blind a little darker, you can add endless amouts of what ever kind of terrain to lighten up your blind (corn stalks, grass,milo stalks,ect) but you really cant do that to your body. Im going to invest in some KW1 clothing and waders, If they even offer waders in KW1. And Im from KS and alot of the banks I think KW1 would just melt in, on the other hand if im gonna build a duck blind I would use Max 4 and some woven wire so I can put reeds or grass in it to lighten it up a bit

[takem7]

forgot to mention yellow doesnt really blend in to well with dark green reeds. :D About 50 percent of our duck hunting is done in standing catails. :cool:

[TheGooseCommander]

That jacket looks like KW2 to me.... but if you look that Shadow grass camo blend in 10x better than he does...

[duckin82]

there is no one universal camo pattern that works with all elements that mother nature presents as every place is different, thats why as Rick said, avery is expanding their camo line to better suit the needs of hunters on a wider basis, kw-1 may not work well in some places but then again like in the photo Aaron posted, it just vanishes,

max 4 is a good camo and will vanish under the right conditions but so can any other brand of camo so why are we arguin?

[TheGooseCommander]

I wasnt agrueing by any means.... i just think ALOT of people see an Avery Logo and think theres nothing else in the world that matters, but as i pointed out that shadow grass does blend in a helluva lot better

[Aaron Hitchins]

The shadowgrass on the gun case does look awesome there, good enough I didn't even notice it when I first posted the picture!

A shot of NatGear at its best...

We did not design KW-1 with any kind of cattail hunting in mind. We designed MarshGrass for that purpose. With that said, KW-1 does match cattails very well at certain times of the year.

thanks,

[Mark Brendemuehl]

A lot of the pattern and camo color will depend on the fabric too. Here is a KW1 vest that blends in with the cattails very well.
No one camo pattern is ideal for everything. Not even close. I have a closet full of clothes for that reason alone.
