I still can recall how warm it was and how long you stayed warm in it too. I also remember walking though a very shallow marsh with the outfit on and the wet cattails brushing up against it. I remember how quickly it became heavy when that outfit got wet though.

Do you think this is one of the reasons you don't see these outfit around as much anymore? Or do you guys think it's because of marketing schemes of new camouflage designs?
