Guys-

I now have a season's experience with my Savanna suit and I was very impressed. My suit is always in the plastic scent-tight bag that you can buy. The bag has its own plastic smell but lets no human odor in. The smell you are describing is much like that it sounds like. The point of the suit is to trap human scent in the garment. Thats why cover scent is not necessary. I never thought the suit was stiff, and although its not as quiet as my Redhead Silent-Hide suit, it makes little noise when moving. Your right about no insulating value, but I don't think its designed as a cold-weather garment, its obviously for bowhunting , which is of course, normally earlier in the year. I did begin to wear a sweatshirt underneath mine bu the ens of bow season and it worked great. I have never been smelled or heard in my suit...I did get seen a couple times but that happens. I love it and would definetly recommend it to anyone who wants an edge and doesn't mind 150 bucks.
