Widely known for its well-regarded line of bino harnesses, packs and hunting clothing, Badlands has officially launched its newest camo pattern—Approach GT.

Approach GT Camo Swatch

Approach GT, the acronym of which stands for Ground and Timber, was designed from the ground up for a specific set of environments, particularly big-woods country where a canopy of leaves is still darkening the timber and terrain below. A darker-toned version of Approach, the Approach GT pattern has a more vertical orientation to mimic the bark of a tree. This makes it an excellent choice for a treestand whitetail hunter, or as a turkey hunter who sits against tree trunks in the spring.

Approach GT Treestand Basket

GT has all the features of the rest of the Approach camo lineup too, including multiple pattern layers and adaptive coloration to break up the human form. To the eyes of many game animals, some camo patterns morph into human-shaped shadows at a distance, but Approach camo’s unique design adapts to light conditions throughout the day to help your shape fade into the environment.

If you’re fortunate enough to fill your tag, the real work starts.
