If you want something that will conceal you, get
yourself a 3D leafy suit. There is no better camo
for breaking up your outline and they can be used
in just about any terrain. I've had deer and turkey
look right through me from inside 20 yards. The head/
facemask is a must for total concealment. I even wear
it while bowhunting in southern Arizona for coues
deer...and there is nothing down there but rocks and
cactus! Don't buy the first one you see, some of the
cheaper ones I've seen don't appear to be very
durable. Look around and get one that will last. I
paid $100 seven years ago for my Underbrush and
there's not a leaf torn on the whole suit and I've
walked through plenty of multifloral rose, here
in Iowa.

The synthetic leaves you are describing are "Sneaky
Leaves". I have a netting I throw over my DB blind
and I pin these leaves to it. I put a few on my
backpack one time while turkey hunting, at the
end of the day,most were gone. The safety
pins would catch on something and the leaves would
fall off. I just think you would be better off
going with a actual 3D suit.

...by the way, welcome to the board.

Good Luck
