Default RE: Saddlecloth????

Two thumbs up from me too. I have multiple Saddle Cloth outfits. It is probably my favorite camo fabric. Much better than the typical cotton/poly combos that seem to predominate in the camo clothing market.

As trailblazer indicated it is very soft, quiet and "burrproof" but that is not the reason why I love it. My favorite characteristic is the colorfastness. It won't fade! Not even after dozens of washings with regular detergent. I have a pair of saddle cloth pants that I bought about 4 or 5 years ago and they still look almost like new.

Now, for the "bad" news. Many folks have commented on how Saddle Cloth gets "noisy" in extremely cold conditions.

I have yet to run into this problem, but I have a couple ideas as to why others have come to form this opinion. First, it is possible that they have the Gortex/Saddle cloth combo outfits. I have a had with this combination and it definitely is noisy in cold weather, but I believe that has more to do with the Goretex than the Saddlecloth.

Second, it is also possible that the definitions of "quiet" might be totally different. I know how synthetic PVC rainsuits sound and that I would term "noisy", but I don't think that cold Saddle cloth comes anywhere near that noise level.

Regardless, be happy with your purchase....you got a great deal.
