If its the same one that bass pro carries, Made by Redhead I believe. It is worth every dime.

I wear it over shorts and a T shirt down here in South Florida and it helps in the 95 degree days.

The leafy suits that I have seen there were way too  noisy for my taste.

I've got one of the very first ever made. It was a product sample that one of the local textile mills here made back in the late 1980s.  It was pretty revolutionary for the time and I've worn it a ton over the last 20 years.  I've had to sew a few of the seams back, but it still functions great.  I wear it with shorts and a dark teeshirt when it's hot, and over a rain suit when it's pouring.  It is a little on the noisy side, but I've killed numerous animals in it.

I bought one about 4 or 5 years ago and I hunt in it every year for both whitetail and turkey.  I've taken deer as close as 8 ft while hunting on the ground while wearing it.  It has a built in face mask with it as well.  It's actually a mesh net bug suit.  I got lucky and got mine on clearance.  For the price, buy it, you won't be sorry.

For the price of Wally World's leafy suit ($100), you can almost get an ASAT leafy suit. I figured I'd opt for the latter.

***Whoops, I stand corrected--the whole suit costs $50 at Wally World. I thought it was 50 for each part, but I was wrong***

Personally I think anything that breaks up the human form does the trick, the camo pattern so long as it is appropriate for your area has never mattered much to me.  I have a couple of the leafy suits and really like them both, one of them is a wally world special.  The Wally special was a bit noisy at first but one washing took care of that and the more it wears the better it looks and quieter it gets IMO. One advantage to the Wally suit is the tighter mesh compared to the one I have from Cabela's, the tighter mesh keeps skeeters off better in warm weather.
Hunt fair, hunt hard, no regrets.

Rascal, I noticed that the suit gets quieter each time you wash it as well.

If the suits are too light, could you add some RIT dye to the wash to darken them a bit?

Bought my daughter one that is sparse inside the arms and on the chest to prevent interference with the bowstring.

She really likes it a lot.

I have the exact suit you are talking about. Its very quiet, especially once you wash it a couple of time.  Its hard to beat the $50 price tag.

Looks like my Wally has the 3D leaf suit, separate top and bottom both for $50. Now I'm really interested, will probly get one.

It is Remington brand, although i can't find any specifications anywhere, even on Rem website. Looked like it had the hood part built into the jacked.

I'm liking the idea of hunting in shorts and tshirt with this.

I bought a leafy camo screen suit from Wallyworld 2 years ago and it faded badly the first time I washed it..didnt save the receipt so I couldnt return it. The Remington brand should be a different manufacture.. That same year I also bought 6 long sleeve camo T-shirts from them, they are awesome no fading at all.. they dont carry that good shirt any more..this is a pic showing the T-shirt, wish I would have bought a dozen..

They might be light colored but after some washing but it looks good against the sky I think.
I have one suit that I bought at the end of season sale at Wally-World. It is a bit noisy at first but after a few washings it is soft as cloth.

I'd suggest carrying it to where you're going to be setup, then put it on.  The mesh has a tendency to get snagged on just about anything.  Zero fun getting through anything that has thorns.
