Lots of First Lite Fusion Camo Options

February 12th, 2015

We told you to keep an eye out for First Lite’s Fusion camouflage at SHOT Show. Designed as a universal patter for hunting, Fusion has been applied to a wide variety of products which were on display at last month’s SHOT Show. These include chest rigs for hunting, packs, carbines, hard and softshell clothing and even a fat tired bike that we couldn’t photograph because it was surrounded by onlookers.

FUSION FEATURES:
-Large Shape Disruption (nature-based algorithms)
-Small-Medium Texture Disruption (nature-based algorithms)
-Disruptive Coloration (with a carefully curated pallet of nine colors)
-Focal and Depth Confusion (both focal and peripheral vision is greatly affected)
-Light and Dark Crackleture (further distorts the subjects overall body shape)

They chose airsoft BBs from BB Bastard as test projectiles because they replicate the size and weight of gravel particles.
