Default Tall Size Camo - Where to buy?

Does anyone know or have a suggestion as where to purchase tall sized camo clothing?

It seems you have to be big and tall, and not just tall to find anything that fits a little longer. I can't seem to find anything decent anywhere. Cabela's Canada Cabela's USA and Bass Pro Shops seem to have a little bit, but nothing great. Wholesale Sports nothing.

Exchange rate isn't the greatest at the moment but they offer a wider range of sizing and free shipping to Canada.

Funny I just dropped almost 200 on for pants at wholesale sports I have a 34 inch inseam and everything was long on me... Idk.

How tall are you? I'm 6'4" 200lbs and just bought predator camo from Dennis in Lethbridge. Fits perfect.

Or just don't use camo unless you want to look cool. I own a camo jacket because it looks cool but I only use it on rainy days, or cooler weather, otherwise I use a hoodie, or my everyday jacket.

Depends how much you're willing to spend. I'm 6'2, 185 lbs with a 6'5 wingspan. Kuiu gear is the best fitting clothing I've ever had.

I'm 6'6 and weigh 220 so I feel your pain. As mentioned above predator camo comes in tall sizes. I also picked up some sitka early season pants when the dollar didn't suck and they fit nicely. Kuiu also does tall sizes. Its pricey but I hate being uncomfortable and cold in the bush. Alternatively a higher boot and tucking in your shorter pants is also effective.

Cabelas has TALL versions. I have a XLT and a 2XLT. The 2XLT is a bit too big in the chest and belly but the XLT is a bit tight in the chest area....anyone say loose weight and I will FIND YOU !!

I had the nice folks at Raven Wear custom make me a parka 20 some years ago and I still love it. I need a tall size but went even longer on the sleeves so I could cover my hands when sitting. I also picked one up for my son 5 or so years ago and it is of equal quality and a better winter camo pattern.

UnderArmour has pants in 36 length leg and orderable in specific waist/length choices. their jackets are not too bulky around the middle. Try their hunting camo on.

Camo is the most overrated hunting accessory going.

That depends how you look at a it and how you hunt.

First as a rifle hunter it is 90% over rated to wear camouflage but as a bow hunter I think there can be great value in it.

Second is that most Camouflage hunting clothing is quality clothing designed for hunting, so even though camo might be over rated the clothing isn't.

Thanks for the tips everyone. I am 6'7" and 230 lbs. My torso is quite long. Generally I don't have too much problem with pants. It's just shirts and jackets that I have problems finding.

I am an aspiring spot and stock bow hunter. I am mainly looking for good quality technical wear. I just picked up some 36" inseam Marino wool pants from First Lite and they seem awesome. Now the tricky part will be finding tall sized tops. I look forward to seeing more of Cabela's back country O2 octane line up come to Canada. Some if it appears to be available in tall. I'm am especially interested in clothing that has high Marino wool content.

Have you tried the First Lite tops? I find they fit a little longer than normal. I've sold a bunch of tops to some guys from EPS that are your size and they seem to be happy.

I emailed them and asked them about how they fit. They just recommend I buy a 2XL. I'm a little leary about spending top dollar on something that doesn't fit well.
I'll try to visit MilArm in Edmonton sometime this week. I guess they have sell First Lite. I look forward to trying it on.

Jimbows Calgary (not sure about Edmonton) carries a pretty good selection of First Light so you could try some on. I have a couple of jackets in tall and both definitely longer in the torso and arm lengths.
