I'm going to opt for the poncho I think... the multi-colors kinda take care of the seasons...

Out of curiosity - what is your plan for shooting with the poncho?  Are you thinking to flip it over your shoulder a la Clint Eastwood before shooting (lol - don't laugh. I killed a doe earlier this year while I was wearing my rain poncho and that's exactly what I had to do).

I ask because I've been pondering a ghili poncho too but can't decide if it would work well with a bow or not.

Trimming isn't too bad...just the inside of shooting arm, some on the chest (shooting arm side), and some on the hat.  Best way is just go out to your target butt at 10 feet and start shooting.  Trim as you shoot don't just trim everything.  Plus I use a decent sized arm guard to hold extra fabric out of the way.  

I don't like the hoods as my head turns on the inside of the hood making it impossible to keep fabric out of the way...Doc

After reading this post I decided to dig mine out after 3years and never trying it. I removed some trim from the armpit to the rear of the armgaurd and shortened some at the bow hand that was obstructing my sight and adding a short strap or pull cord to pull in the underhang between the armpit and elbow area.Was impressed with the success I had shooting with it. Need to shorten the lengths on the hood as they obstruct vision. (Rancho Safari coat,leggings,mask and hat
