  • Micro-pattern of small fragmented shapes that consider the way ungulates perceive color and space, making you fade into the background – the same way a leopard's spots help it evade detection while poised to ambush.
  • Macro-pattern of large fragmented shapes that break up the symmetry of the human body, making you unrecognizable as a predator – similar to the way a tiger's stripes break up the shape of its body as it stalks prey.
