Here is what I do to check my gear. I bought a black light bulb and then go downstairs where it is real dark- no windows. Change the bulb in my drop light then run it over your camoflauge or hunting clothes. You will be able to see your patterns, but when you come across something that is UV reflective you will know it. It's amazing how bright some of the camo patterns are. I once had a realtree jacket that was pretty dull under the light ( non reflective) but the embroidered logo light up like a neon light. Same with the logo's on hats. Once you figure out if you clothes are reflective or not you can spray them with that UV killer spray and it help to reduce the reflectiveness. I won't completely eliminate it but it will help. Another thing I do is wash my clothes in sportsmans wash only. Do not use regular detergents, as they have UV brightners in there to make the colors look better.
Do a test and see for yourself what happens and then you can make your own judgements.
