as for the guile I have one but wow they get hot, bugs get in it....etc dont even think of walking in it unless its like 30 below....... nowa days its good for paintball but I dont think Id wear it hunting, my days of laying out on the ground on an op for hours at the time are over....
Yours must be far more heavily constructed than mine, which is constructed of a lightweight nylon coat and pants with strips of bulap strings sewn to it. It's quite comfortable in the 70-80s, and when I wore it in temp in the 60s I had to wear some things under it to avoid a chill.
I hand made mine back when I was in Korea a few years back, took some old burlap sand bags and treaded them out, found an old cammo net trimmed out a piece that would fit my back and sewed to a set of old BDUs I had, then I took a piece of tarp and used it to to re enforce my elbows and knees because of the crawling invovled, start tying the individual strings at the bottom working your way up, terrain will dictate how thick you make it, and what colors you paint it... then when done take another piece of camo net and sew it to your boonie cap, same thing thread it up, generally thicker for your head. then weave in grass limbs leaves etc when you get to your hunting area....blend it in....

Granted it takes a while, and you can buy one, but this will save you alot of money, and you can take pride in it that you done it yourself.

*note dont sew the bottom down on the net you can leave those free and roll it up to the top of your shoulders if your real highspeed take something to latch it in place on your upper back....lots cooler when walking..
