Scent-Lok Technologies prides itself on delivering products that get hunters close to big game through our ultra-quiet, scent-controlling gear. But our product engineers felt that our garments could provide yet another advantage for hunters through a system that can visually break up the human silhouette.

We understand that whitetails and other big game use the combination of peripheral vision, keen noses and sharp hearing to assess danger at all levels. Irregular shapes such as the human outline, often cause deer to sharply focus on them, especially when contrasted against a light sky background. Add to that, traditional camouflage, though excellent at up-close distances, creates a dark “blob” shape as distances increase.

The new Vertigo camo system combats these challenges in the field providing scent-control with visual concealment. Vertigo is a design concept that brings the normal, high-contrast lines from the outer silhouette to well inside the body lines and helps the hunter's body blend naturally into the field of view. Simply put, the Vertigo camo system virtually destroys the human silhouette.

We achieved this design through a strategic placement of large, highly-contrasting shapes in the positive and negative regions of the garment. These high contrasting elements virtually eliminate the game's opportunity to "connect the dots" and produce a human visual impulse.

Secondly, we realized that not every hunters' terrain and conditions are the same. Because of this, we developed two color choices that effectively allow users to make smart choices when it comes to their gear. We offer products in Vertigo Tan that allows hunters to better utilize ground positions or early season hunting conditions and additionally a Vertigo Grey version for stand hunting and mid-season conditions. Either way, the tonal effect and high contrast macro-pattern are equally present, allowing for maximum effectiveness in both versions.
