ASAT Doubting Thomas
 

I have read a lot about ASAT camo and I would like to order some for this upcoming hunting season but I guess I need some reassurance that it really works! There is so much on the market these days I want to make sure that I'm buying something that is worth the BUCKS! (No pun intended) Comments all?

I just bought an ASAT 3D Leafy Suit and my wife STILL hasn't seen it, so it must blend in well w/ any environment. All kidding aside, it's really like all other hunting gear. Try it, and if it works for you, great! If you find yourself getting busted, poor quality of the garment, etc., then you know you made a bad choice.

There are an awful lot of folks on this board that swear by it, so it was worth me giving it a shot for the '04/'05 season. The fact that there are several other mfr's out there that have similar patterns made a believer out of me as well.

Generally I don't buy any product unless I'm very sure I'll be happy with it. I generally don't have to take anything back because of this. I don't like wasting my money when I don't have to.

Though I have yet to be pulled into the "dark side" of ASAT users I've heard many many good things about the product. From what I've heard, seen, and read over the past couple years it seems that ASAT is second to none. I personally am planning to buy some not this season, but next season to try out. My only doubt is that I live and hunt in Washington and I hunt mostly from pine trees. Though it's said that it blends in with any environment I don't see how a tan/black/brown suit is going to blend in with a sold green tree. I think you'd be making a wise purchase by going with ASAT.

I’m thinking of trying it this year as well. The only thing that has me skeptical is the baggy look of their 3D leafy suit. In the pictures the thing looks like it’s bulky and practically hanging off the hunter. Can anyone attest to or deny that theory?

Also those gloves look like something an old lady would be using in the garden! [&:] And they’re one size fits all, which doesn’t really exist. Wish they had better quality garments.

I just got mine in the mail the other day. Have yet to use it ion the woods but I have tried it on.

It could seem baggy but there's the upside IMO. The 3D is very lightweight...much more so than the pics would have you believe.

The biggest advantage IMO is all I have to do is dress for the weather...camo or not and the ASAT covers it. I live in SE Michogan and hunting weather runs the gamut from 75f to -10 through the season. I need gear that's flexible. The ASAT 3D leafy is perfect beacause I can wear it over jeans and a tshirt in the early season (a bit baggy but not at all in the way...I've been shooting with the suit on) or over my 12lb winter Parka, snow pants and sledding boots and it covers it all.

Before I've had different camo's for different weather/terrain etc. and from what I can tell the ASAT is exactly that ALL SEASON ALL TERRAIN.

I have a couple of Pine stands now. Remind me during the season and I'll let you know how it works. I wouldn't worry about color...deer are basically color blind. That being said I wear camo as much to hide from other hunters as deer. Lottsa yahoos in my area and If they can't find my stand they can't take it and If they can't see me I'm happier still.

It's not supposed to blend, its made to break up your outline, which camouflages you.

I bought the ASAT 3-D leafy suit and tried it this year for turkeys and I was impressed to say the least. Once I had a gobbler walk right up to me as I was standing on a logging road and got to with-in 15 yardsof me !!!!Lucky for him, I had just shot his buddy!!!!
Another time I was walking back to my truck and I saw another hunter coming towards me . I stopped and stood still and he walked past me at about twenty feet.... after he passed me I asked out loud- SEE ANY BIRDS?- He about jumped out of his camo!!!!!! Great stuff .....buy it!!!

I just spent A LOT of money to stock it in my store. If I didn't feel it was worth the money, I'd never have spent that much on it. I only had to test it personally for a few months hunting to realize its value.;)

RE: ASAT Doubting Thomas
 

ASAT works!It's designed to break up your outline-which it does very effectively.Most other camo's are designed to appeal to the hunter's eye-which it does very effectively.If you want camo that will work in almost every hunting environment-get ASAT.I've seen it in hunting situations and I'm getting myself a set thi year.
