Default ASAT leaves tearing

I ordered a large ASAT 3d leafy suit. I got it one size bigger. I did this because I'm a kid and will grow, but don't want to put an extra $150 into a new suit. I noticed the leaves on my left arm are getting torn at the tops. This is from the string slapping my arm. What should I do? How should I "secure" them?

I just let mine come off. It's on the inside of the forearm so I didn't think it was much of an issue. I suppose you could get an arm guard to keep it from happening though.

I wear an armguard hunting. Pretty much everybody I know does. It helps out a lot especially in the winter.

Zak,
Just cut out the toes of a brown sock and slide it over your forearm if you are hitting those leaves.........it will compress everything nicely.

YUP, either wear an arm guard or sock to keep the clothing out of the way. You should do that anyway with bulky clothing. String interference effects arrows in the WRONG way. The leaves getting tattered or worn won't effect the camo appearance to the animals at all. All leaves in nature aren't perfect. It's not so much the leaves that make this stuff so invisible, it's the pattern and color tone contrast.

I dont have a problem with the string coming in contact with the leaves but wear a arm guard when I hunt anyway
cause you never know what is going to happen in a hunting situation
