GMMAT: The mesh still gets caught on little dimmples and pimples of bark that protrude from hardwoods. I thought I had to have one for warm weather hunting. I already had the material HSS. I gave my old one to my nephew. Now I have to live with the mesh getting snagged once in a while when you lean back against the tree. I hunt mostly hardwoods too. A cure, put it on under your outer shirt/jacket, but then you loose the convenience of the pockets. It's just a concern at times, the snagging. It has made noise at times too.
