Switchback,
I have to echo what Mags said: stealth colors can get you killed during hunting season. There are drunken wackos out there shooting at everything that moves (including each other). While I don't want to wear florescent colors, I try to pick some that don't blend into the earth (blue, red, etc.) for mountainbiking and hiking.
