Here in west Tex in the spring and oct. Archery I ware shorts an t-shirt. Carry mine in a plastic 7 1/2 gal bucket with Gamma seal screw on lid. Everything fits in bucket and I have a seat when I put the suit on.. Nothing like them you will get to close sometime.  Good luck

Had kansas turkeys at 5 steps.. They work excellent to say the least. They are a little heavy for real warm weather. Be sure to shoot with it on and trim as needed to avoid it hitting the string.

Have had the vest for years, works great for turkeys. Once emptied my quiver on a gang of long beards at long range during the fall and didn’t spook them until I started cussing them…8^)

As long as your standing, sitting, or slowly stalking and don't exert yourself, it's okay in warm weather.

I'm gonna give it a go with the long coat this spring.  I'll be using a decoy too.  Sounds like fun to me.
