Against Late Fall Hardwoods, XRC scores 40/100 (), while Instinct scores 43/100 ().
Based on color alignment, breakup scale, and texture density, the AI sees an approximate 3-point lean toward Instinct in this particular environment.
Tekari XRC and Cabelas Instinct are both mixed-scale patterns, so they behave similarly from a scale point of view. Both patterns balances micro and macro elements, keeping them fairly steady across different shot distances. They are also similar in overall density, so neither one is dramatically busier or more open.
Tekari XRC vs Cabelas Instinct
Tekari XRC and Cabelas Instinct have been analyzed using our CamoMatrix AI engine, which measures scale, density, and edge behavior directly from the flat pattern artwork. Both land in the mixed-scale category, meaning they balance fine texture with larger breakup blocks instead of living at one extreme. Density is similar, so neither pattern overwhelms the eye or leaves too much empty space. Edge style diverges: Tekari XRC leans into smoother, blended transitions, while Cabelas Instinct mixes both hard and soft edges. Softer edges often melt better into natural backgrounds, while harder edges can create stronger breakup in certain lighting. As always, these results come from flat pattern imagery. Real-world performance depends heavily on terrain, season, and how the garments fit and move.
This is a pattern-only comparison from flat artwork. Terrain, season, and real backgrounds will still push one or the other ahead in specific setups.
