My wife got me the one constructed from a lightweight garmet with string material tied to netting.  (Cabelas)

I got it for christmas so I have not used this style for bow hunting yet.  

I have a home made suit that is a bit bulky and hevy....but it works well.  I cant wait to try the new light weight one out.

I think I can pull the bulk of the strings back through the netting so they lay underneath and out of the way in the areas of bowstring contact.  Otherwize I'll trimm the strings as required.  

I may add some additional gray and green color with drab spray paint during the summer months so the smell goes away.  

I think that for stalking and still hunting, I will leave the pants home to avoid catching on brush.

One thing is for sure, amazing things happen in the woods when you stand still in a gillie suit.

Sorry..... I forgot to say that I do think that the Cabelas suit is a bit over priced.  I think I saw a very similar suit at scheels sporting goods stores for half the price.

I just posted a response on an later post about guille suits.  Check on it.

In a nut shell.  The Ranchero is the best and well worth the investment.
