Hunting Clothes for Women That Aren't Pink Camo
Over the last few weeks here at See3D, we have been contacted by a number of female hunters asking about our 3D camo suits. They have been asking about sizing, but not whether it comes in pink.
In fact, talking to one or two of them, it seems that the whole pink camouflage movement has not been that appealing to women hunters. A Field & Stream survey reported that 61% of female hunters dislike the idea of pink camo, with responses including: “misogynistic, bogus, -patronizing, barf, blech, hate it, meh, whatever”.
At the same time, a number of states have legalized pink camo as a replacement for orange. Something does not add up, perhaps most of the legislators that passed those bills were men?
Many women seem to be offended by pink, and I suspect the reason is a subtle one.
It’s not that women don’t like pink, it’s that they are frustrated by manufacturers thinking they need a special color.
Heck, just make the same color pattern used by men's hunting clothes with female fitting and sizes. How hard is that?
After fielding these questions from interested female hunters, we are talking to our manufacturer about expanding our size range. Our suits are worn on top of clothes, and the orange camo pattern covers up what is underneath. This means female hunters can wear whatever they want! Maybe even, gasp, outdoor clothes designed to fit women!
Our current smallest size is Medium/Large, designed for a 5' 6" - 6" height. We suspect that camo suits for women would be about 6” smaller, we’d love to hear from female hunters with feedback on that sizing. Email us at huntorange@see3dcamo.com
