Yep, ASAT leafy is great, but...it's cut too big IMO. Perfect for when it's really cold and you have heavier stuff on under it, but in the warm months with just a thin base layer under it...it's too big. I'm 6'6" 230 lbs and the XL is cut way too big...especially in the pants. They hang so low and loose that I end up rolling the waist up to get the crotch out of the way. If you have to cross a fence or any such thing...it's a problem.
I also don't like the fact that there are NO pockets. Again, in the winter when you have something under it that will likely have pockets...no big deal, but with the thin base layer...that also does not have pockets it leaves you with nothing.
If you can deal with those issues...which I have learned to...it's great stuff. However, I have a set of Enigma on order!

Rainman,

The leafy suit is great. It is designed to be worn as an "over suit". So it is cut large and works well. As far as getting caught or snagging it does not do either. The only way it might snag on something is if you are stalking through a briar thicket. I have worn mine for the past 2 years with no trouble what so ever. But I do most of my hunting from a tree stand.

October bow huntingin SE Texas is HOT. I wear my shorts T-shirt and my leafy suit and a pair of hiking boots.

I just sold a suit to a guy going to Colorado Elk hunting and needed it to work over his insulated clothes.

It is very versitile, durrable and well worth the money.
