In my state it is required that you wear blaze orange while hunting. Right now I wear a blaze orange hunting vest over my jacket, should I switch to wearing a blaze orange jacket instead? If so, why?

[PAShooter]

I uaually wear a blaze vest because it is more versitle. It allows me to dress heavy or light depending on the hunting situation.

Some State or Provincial legislation require that you wear a certain square area of blaze orange on your person--usually a vest is adequate -some of the blaze orange with black mixed in as a camo pattern are not legal......In Ontario you must also have a blaze orange hat on your head when hunting....check your local regulations.....a blaze orange coat would provide greater visibility as opposed to a vest

I own both blaze vests and full blaze jackets,for the reasons that PAShooter and the decoy hunter stated.Vests allow you to add or remove layers easily,and the extra visibilty of a full blaze jacket makes me feel a little safer when hunting public land where I may encounter other hunters.

yes its better

[Treestand]

In my state Fl. on state land only you must have -
500Sq " of blaze or blaze camo when its gun season.
Bow season green camo. Now 500Sq= a blaze shirt and hat not a vest we have whats called air-lite blaze
when hunting in 65%to80% temps
