One of my friends uses it on late winter hunts. For camouflage and concealment, it works as well as my KOM Blowdown in winter conditions. However, as mentioned above, the weave is loose and it will not block the wind without a good wind blocker underneath. If you hunt where there are weeds and what not, I wouldn’t recommend them. My friend shot an elk and after dragging it a hundred and fifty yards out of the brush, he had ten times as many stickers and burrs in the Columbia clothing as I did in my KOM. Also, the burrs were five times harder to remove from his clothing then mine.
