Coug... You're right. I really like Spring Green as well, and was still wearing it when Matt got out here in early November. He was surprised to see me put it on the first day of our hunt. But, to your point, we still had a bunch of leaves on the trees then, and I was blending in with those -- not because I think the SG's colors matter to a deer (they all look the same when viewed in B&W), but because we were hunting public land and I like to hide from other humans and keep them from discovering my stand locations... I actually did have two hunters walk right under me that week, and I had to whistle at them to stop them from going upwind of me, but I think I was in FG by that time...


Germ... Yep. I wouldn't swear that bucksuede is layers of fabric with glue holding them together, but that's generally what makes a fabric want to stiffen up in the cold (the glue getting stiff and losing its elasticisity), but you're right -- it definitely gets stiffer the colder it gets. I've got a Fall Gray bucksuede jacket and a Spring Green bucksuede jacket, and use them more as windbreakers and to ward off slight drizzles...
