Default 3-D/Leafy Suits

I've decided this year's camo purchase is going to be some type of 3-D suit. I've been to Cabela's and BP to check them out so far.

For those of you that own them or have owned them, which ones hold up better?

ASAT leafy suit is a great all-season choice.

You can wear shorts and a T under it, early.....and layer accordingly (even with non-camo gear) underneath, as it gets cooler.

i got this last year and i am very satisfied with it. i have had several deer look right at me and walk on past like i wasnt there. its a bit loud at first but i would squeeze it and roll it into a small ball to work the leaves on it. it seamed to help with the noise alot.

I wear a Natural Gear leafy suit, and love it.. Nice light colored camo, blends with a lot, and at all times of the year..

Wonderful choice in camo. I bought mine several years ago off of E-Bay. I was hunting in a large field that had a clump of rocks and brush in the middle. I was sitting all day and my legs were getting tired. I decided to stand up and test out the new camo. I was totally surprised to have deer come into the field, look at me, and go back to eating. I had several large does eating towards me when a cote walked into the field and scared off the thirty deer that were all around me off. I love using it during the early season when it is hot because I can wear a short sleeve tee shirt and still be totally covered. I can add on the clothes as needed during the winter and still have that great 3-D cover. I would recommend getting a size larger so you can put the suit on over other clothes.

Drug a deer out last year through a breir patch, over 100yds.

Thought my suit would be ruined.

No tears, no missing leaves.

The ASAT is bad to the bone.

I don't know how much better of a suit you can get, BUT you can do a whole lot worse.
