It’s heavy overcast and raining again. I’ve been thinking about wetsuit camouflage. Probably the ultimate would be a mirror bright reflective coating. Especially for overcast days. You might look kind of funny out of the water, but underwater you’d be almost invisible because you’d look like everything around you, and because you look like everything around you, you wouldn’t look like anything. If that makes any sense. What do you think?

You could get a "Predator" suit that bends the light around your body and a laser guided spear gun mounted on your should and lay waste to any fish who crosses your path!!
 How about that one LOL BladeRunner OUT

sounds like an interesting Idea.......
But there's a reason My tackle box is half full of silver/gold spoons... Not sure I'd want to turn myself into one! Willer

I was thinking before I posted that question that the single most effective lure color in my tackle box is chrome. I especially like chrome topwaters. A reply to this question on another forum reminded me that hammerheads like tarpon. A suit like that would probably look like a slow tarpon to a hungry hammer

What about going for contast cammo, like sharks and whales have. when you lie horizontally in the water, the top half of you is dark blue, or grey, and the bottem half is white. just watch out for near sighted and overly affectionate dolphins.

how about turtles? their undercarriage is pale white while their top is dark. most midwater species have this color scheme. i think light grey for the bottom and greyish blue for the top would work. it's just getting a custom wetsuit shop to make you a half decent one. personally, i've never had good luck w/ custom ones.

My very cheap Bio-Blue Picasso suit is like that of Griff's depiction:
Blue on the top & white/gray on the bottom. Don't know if it makes a difference, but sure can't hurt

Hi Andreson, i found this off your new site, which by the way looks very pro.
I cant figure the setup of this wetsuit out. i thought it would make more sense if the suit were green on top and blue camo underneath  cheers Mark ps, congrats on 1000 posts

thanks mark,
aquiles came up w/ this idea. his favorite place to sit and wait is in sargassum. when you look up at him, he's invisible and when he dives down and you look down from up top, he's pretty well camo'd too. i think the contrasting contrast tends to throw fish off as well. he's had quite a bit of luck w/ it.A

Maybe it's just me - but would you not want the suit to be the other way around? Brown on the back/blue on the front?
to bad there isn't a way to "blend" the colors together on the sides... Willer
