Yes, and they are awesome, you just melt into the folage, I own several from bright green to fall folage and another for the prarie. Google them as there are some fairly cheap outlets out there. You will get busted by critters much less when wearing one, I also use a lighter leaf type when hunting my treestands. DK.

I have one but use it mostly for predator hunting. I think it works great, have had coytes real close and they just look right past you. Mine is from Rancho Safari and is very light, cotton not burlap, doesn't smell, and is sewn on some netting.

Saw the one in sportsman guide and wondered if it was noisy or if they were made from quiet material? Have you put it on and moved around in it?

Any recommendations on type of pattern or color combinations that have worked best for you?
Recently read a piece from the researchers at Univ. of Georgia who have tried to determine visual acuity of deer. (seems deer have a little less acuity than humans) Talked to one of the researchers who indicated large patterns of significant color change (light to dark or vice versa) would probably work best. He seemed to question the value of what he called 'photorealistic' patterns. In other words, the patterns that look most real to humans at arms length probably don't work that well in the field. He suggested I take a photorealistic pattern and a bold pattern like Predator and put them up in front of different backgrounds and look at them from 20-30 yards.
Well, I was surprised. The photorealistic pattern looked like a dark clump regardless of background. The bold pattern just blended in.
But backyard tests are no substitute for what has actually worked for you.
