Wash it a couple times, dry it with a couple tennis balls or a pr of shoes to beat it up a little. It will fade a little as you use it, softening the color, but they work great. Ive used one for a coupl yrs now, and love it.
you may haveto trim a little here and there, which is no big deal, to avoid string contact.
I've had deer in close look right at me and not be able to figure out I was a human, then relax and go about their business, or end up dead.
What I really like is I can layer clothes underneath it without worrying whether its cmo clothes or not. The hood does a great job breeaking up the outline of your head.
