Engineered for Stone & Silence

- Geology-Based Visual Disruption

Karoo Shade™ was designed from the ground up to match the cracked, colour-washed surfaces of South Africa’s semi-desert regions. Its pattern mimics the natural fragmentation of shale, sunbaked sandstone, and weathered rock, helping you vanish into terrain where colour shifts are subtle and cover is minimal.

The macro patterning mimics the irregular, broken plates of Karoo ground — perfect for long-distance silhouette disruption. Meanwhile, micro-textural detail softens movement up close, matching the fine grain and dry dust layering of exposed flats and ridge lines.

With low-contrast colour transitions — from rusted ochres and grey clays to pale limestone — the palette is tuned to the harsh light of wide-open plains, where shadows are sharp and visibility is unforgiving.

This isn’t forest camo. It’s stone logic — for hunters who know the terrain won’t hide them, so their gear better.

Hydro-Wick Technology™

- Stay Dry. Stay Ready

Every Salty Dog camo garment is powered by Hydro-Wick Technology™ — a high-performance moisture management system that keeps you cool, dry, and moving, no matter the conditions.

Built into our ultra-light polyester fabric, this technology rapidly pulls sweat away from your skin and pushes it to the surface to evaporate fast. The result? No cling, no overheating, and no distractions — just a dry, breathable layer that works as hard as you do in the veld.

Whether you’re hiking, crawling, or waiting it out under the sun, Hydro-Wick keeps your focus where it belongs — on the hunt.

Built for the Hard Ground

- Stone, Dust & Distance

Karoo Shade™ is designed for hunters who operate in semi-arid, open-country terrain — where shadows are sharp, cover is scarce, and everything crunches underfoot. It performs best across the Great Karoo, Little Karoo, and parts of the Northern Cape, Western Free State, and Tankwa region.

The pattern’s cracked earth tones, shale-textured overlays, and sun-faded contrast allow it to blend into rocky ground, dry washes, and scattered scrub where most camo stands out. It masks movement in terrain that’s flat and fractured — where concealment comes down to how well you match the ground.

This isn’t camo made for trees. It’s made for the silent step across stone, the long crawl behind koppies, and the disappearing act in heat-hardened veld.

Because in the Karoo, the game can see for miles — and so can you. You just need to make sure they don’t.

UV-Shield 50+™

- Protection Built for Dry Heat

In the Karoo, shade is scarce and the sun pulls no punches. That’s why every Karoo Shade™ shirt is equipped with UV-Shield 50+™ — a permanent, built-in barrier against harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Woven directly into the lightweight fabric, this sun protection won’t wash out or wear off. Whether you’re trekking over cracked shale, crawling between koppies, or glassing from the open ground, UV-Shield 50+™ keeps your skin protected without adding weight or bulk.

Sun exposure may be unavoidable — but with Karoo Shade™, damage isn’t.
