It cant hurt. I mean, id always think the wind should be played just for common sense and reasurance. But, i wouldnt get careless. Buddy of mine has one and swears by it, had a spike at 10 yards with the wind blowin right at the deers nose, never new he was there. Same with one time when i went hog huntin, a buddy in the camp came up on some pigs bedded with the wind to his back, they never new he was there. I would also say, if your goin to use one, get the whole suit. It would be pointless to have a jacket and then not get the pants or hood or gloves or whatever else there is. Id like to read some feedback from yalls experience also so i konw if its worth forkin over the extra mulah for one.
