Cabela’s ColorPhase Camouflage Changes Hues

Posted on July 2, 2013 by Randall

Cabela’s ColorPhase camouflage changes from brown to green hues and back depending on the ambient air temperature outside.  In weather under 65°, the brown dominates the specially treated dyes in the fabric.  Above 65°, a green shift takes place.  In the video, you can see that only certain areas of the garment are treated with the rapid-change, temperature-activated dyes. I am sure this type of camo will be hot topic for the Military and, later, SWAT.  The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has been investigating the color shifting abilities of marine squid for similar purposes.  ColorPhase is a step in that direction.
