Ok, got the Adrenaline jacket and pants in SG today. Here are my initial thoughts. The white look on the lightest color was NO worry. It is NOT white like it appears in some of the online photos. It is a tannish color like I had hoped it would be like some other SG stuff I have had. The quality is very nice. The jacket is very nice especially with the micro fleece lining. The pants do not have any lining and are just the thin material like others have stated. I was looking for a early season lightweight outfit and thats what I got.
Fit and sizing seem on, I wear a large shirt or coat in everything and this fits fine, not real tight fiting and has a little bit of room for layering. pants I wear a 32 so I got the medium and they fit fine also. I could get a thin layer of merino wool under them if need be.
The outfit is not "shiny" but does have a little bit of a shine to it.
It seems quiet but not wool or fleece quiet. Of course I think after its washed, the shine will lessen and it will probably become a little quieter.
I think it will be great for early season but I would guess it would snag if you were beating the brush and walking through thickets.
I have had KUIU attack pants before and these are thinner. The KUIU I had was unlined pants and jacket. They were the original offerings from KUIU. I think those pants were more durable but I think I like Predator Jacket better with the lining.
I also have a Sitka outfit but it is a heavier weight I'm guessing like the Predator High Plains series.
For the price of this Adrenaline, I don't think you will be sorry! I love the camo pattern and the quality looks good.
Finally, a shout out to St.Joe River Bows, they told me they had to get the pants in from Predator because they did not have a Medium in stock and it would ship on Thursday. It did ship out on Thursday and arrived 2 days later.
Now to get rid of this cold and snow and go test it a little!

Good deal I like my highplains a lot.   I also have sitka stratus and the highpains is nowhere near as thick as it. I think I will be adding an early season adrenaline combo as well.

Good review.  Sounds like I will have to get some before spring.

I had "odd" experiences with the Predator Grey but not with the older Predator Brown...but alas, as with most camo I learn to like, that PB is now not shown...

PB blended in all terrain and even with darker conifer backgrounds well...the Grey tended to stand out and I got busted or alerted way too many critters...that was reserved for late season tree stand only.

Good to see the pattern doing well and being accepted.
The words "Child" and "terminal illness" should never share the same sentence! Those who care-do, others question!

Thank you for the review Steve and the shout out to us.

We will have both the Adrenlin and the High Plains wear at  The pre Spring Fling next weekend and at our booth the PBS Banquet in March in Cincy

I have the regular SG pants, but have adrenalin jacket and love them!  Wore the spring green even after there was no green left and it still did superb.  I was really impressed with how many deer looked right at me and didn't even do a head bob. One younger buck was directly under my stand and eyeballed me and kept on doing his thing.  It was neat!
