Everything is tan out here; the rocks, the dirt, houses, etc. I also want to dispel a myth about New Mexico, it doesn't get that hot out here. We have only hit 100 degrees this weekend. It is not crazy hot like Arizona, those people are insane!

Have a light color on the back. The front doesn't matter that much. Most ranges shoot north so the sun is at your back.

I am going to give you the same advice that Teresa Everhart gave us many years ago and reminded us of again in 2014 at Raton. Do not pick colors that are the same colors as the flowers where you shoot. The bees and gnats will attack you because they think you are a giant flower. Any other colors are OK. We took Teresa's advice.

That is good advice.

I was expecting everyone here to suggest flaming reds, eye searing yellows, flamboyant purples, and neon oranges.

Everyone has surprised me.

Choose your favorite color or something like a animal color, for me it's the color of the wolf. But in the end your the one who is going to be using the a cool vest.
