[8D]Ihave a Shannon Bug Tamer and a Leafy Wear Bug Suit. Both are great.
Bug Tamer works better for bow shooting. I also wet it during hot weather. I wear the leafy wear for turkey hunting.[:-]

I purchased Bass Pro' s version of the bug suit last year and took it back after 2 trips to the field. It did not breath well at all nor did it prevent misquito bites.
I have heard that shannons bug tamer is the way to go.

I bought the Bug Tamer this year after borrowing and using one in a S. GA swamp. That one day sold me. No bites when that things on, except if you let it pull tight to your skin. Buy it a little large for that reason and wet it in hot weather and you' ll be fine. The 2003 Bug Tamer has a new lighter weight mesh as well.

I bought the leafy bug tamer last year. It seemed to work good unless you pull it tight to your skin. I also removed the leaves on the inside of the left arm and the left chest area to keep the bowsting clear. The mittens are a little awkward. You can sew the leaves back on somewhere else.
