      My Eastman is now a nice pinkish to red color after about 4 months. Left the Double Bull out all last season and it faded some.....I had it tucked under some pretty thick cover so it didn't fade too bad. I would think all of them would fade over time.

          The Green Double Bulls will fade like stated above, but the Brown Predator camo keeps its color very well!

            It could be Bright orange but if you leave it out there long enough the deer will get used to it. I bet you the color bothers you more so than it does the deer. We just built some pit blinds and they are White. Had a 5.5-6.5 yr old 10 point at 7 yards yesterday and it never bothered him. And it's only been there a few months.

About all I ever do with it during the season is sometimes move it from place to place. It has holes in it from dang rats chewing it, and the cows crushed it and broke two of the carbon fiber poles (I repaired those), but the blind material looks almost identical to the bag it came in which is made of the same preditor material, and the bag is pretty much either kept inside the blind or in the back of my covered pick up bed. I can see only a very slight fade when comparing the two. Mine is one of the earlier models that had the blackened interior sprayed on the fabric like the used to do it. I don't know if they have changed fabric, but mine sure has held up well. In no way do I consider mine to be overpriced. I feel like I got every penny of value out of mine and am still using it. Others on our lease have gone through stacks of the wannabe's and have over the years spent more than I have on pop-ups. I too believe you get what you pay for IF you are a wise and careful shopper.
              Identical to SWS. Just completed the 6th season for the t2 in predator camo. It stays out 4-5 months at a time.

                Double bull does sell a UV blocker now that will help keep them from fading.
