Anyone ever get one? They look prety good in the catalog and are cheap compared to a lot of others. Anyone have any experience in them>

I think they are the same as the one Gander Mountain carries for $69. Been thinking of getting one myself.
Can't see the forest for all the trees..

yep, thats the one i opted for . they are nice and lite and cheap compared to others.
started to build one from burlap jute and one sleeve was heavier than the whole 3/4 coat that i got.
i added some artificial leaves and some camo material cut like leaves just to add some different texture . i also cut it up the center in the back up to my lower back so i can lay it over my legs if i want.
 
 

 
i like it!

Nice! I was looking to get the pants as well. Any funny smells? I got some camo net once that smelled like burnt rubber so bad I wouldnt even use it.

no funny smells! nothing like the burlap smells anyways.  i soaked mine with permethrine and let it hang outside anyways, another nice feature is it packs up in a bag just a bit bigger than a football. and thats nice if you dont wanna wear it to where your going.

this is before i added anything to it. i did use some camo paint to add more colors.

Do they interfere with drawing or bowstring?

you gotta trim your bow arm up some. put it on and practice with a pair of scissors in your back pocket.

I just ordered one, I hope I got the right size, I got the Med/Large.  I am 6'1" 210 lbs. I couldnt imagine that I'd have needed the xl/2xl size. I guess I'll find out.

Looks like a deal to me. But I would probably have a heat stroke wearing that down here in early season. LOL
