Len I couldn't agree with you more. I have 30+ trips into the woods with my Enigma suit (I've lost count)with washing my suit about every other day or so plus before the season when I would wear it into the woods and puposely wash and dry it many times in a row and my Enigma suit looks as good as it did the day I got it. No fading and no wearing of the fabric at all. Trust me I have been purposely abusing mine. We all have read of the success stories of having animals just not notice us while wearing Enigma, and to all those nay-sayers, just try it you'll see. IMHO one of the best patterns and hunting garments on the market today.
