ASAT.

I have non-insulated coveralls in ASAT that I wear early season over shorts and a T-shirt and then I wear them over wool when it gets cold.

Over the years I've collected several different patterns. They all work well so I wear whatever I pull out of the box that day. I do make sure not to mix patterns though. A very good friend of mine once told me, "You can wear whatever camo you want just do not mix the ptterns. If you mix the patterns your head will explode!"

Now I don't know how true that is but I'm not gonna take the chance...  :saywhat:

Obivously for us nothing but Predator Camo.
He are some pictures to show why
But what ever you choose be sure there is Contrast lots of light and dark in the pattern. That is why a lot of the wool works so well

I'm more concerned with fit and location of pockets than camo patterns.  I've been using Sitka stuff the past few years and really like the way their clothing is cut.   I'm pretty lean and got tired of all the bulkiness of some brands of clothing.  The Sitka designers really spent some time in designing their clothing to keep the bulk to a minimum.  I also am a believer in wearing a slick insulating layer under a gortex wind break, allowing much more comfortable movement.  

I'm not really a fan of the price or the digital camo pattern    :dunno:     I look like a modern Gi Joe!

Been threw just about every kind. I still own a Kelly Cooper Jacket and an original pair of Trebark  pants. Killed deer in them. Used no camo. Black wool pants and a plaid wool shirt and killed deer.I own Real Tree Rain Gear. But my favorite camo by far is A.S.A.T. if I had to choose.

Look at the Ultimatecamo.com website. I just got some of their fleece stuff and love it. They also have cotton jackets. pants, t-shirts, etc. for early season. Well designed and there are pockets in all the right places....important to me.

Ditched all our old Mossy Oak several years ago being that their patterns became more and more "busy" and darker with each passing year.

Since we switched to wool and Predator Fall Grey have not been visually busted one time, nuff said !!! We hunt lone trees in clearcuts on a regular basis and even had flocks of turkeys pass by less than 10 yds with Mason and I in the same tree no less ! IMHO the older Predator colors like Spring Green, Fall Grey, and Fall Brown are simply the best patterns ever developed including the newer patterns they have. It is the lighter colors and open pattern that makes it work. It will not turn into a dark blob at a distance like others do. I will quote Predator's sales slogan and hush up here, " Trophy Racks, not Store Racks "....  :readit:

Mossy Oak Obsession and Asat get me through the seasons where I'm hunting. I throw in Asbell wool patterns as weather dictates.

Mossy Oak Tree Stand coveralls for early season. ASAT wool pullover and LL Bean Camo wool pants for cooler temps. Also using a homemade ghillie poncho this season for the first time...

I always liked the basic Predator Brown. But it seams hard to find these days.

I to like it dark because of my part of the country and our setups. Deer see movement and we all know we must move to draw our bows. From a treestand or ground blind I always have something behind me and am in the shadows (see my shirt in my avatar). When I move if I had something light on it would contrast with the background and be more noticeable to the deer. Bottom line light or dark I think you need to match your background whether it is a dark eastern canopy or a light western sky.

Good point KY TJ. The loggers have taken all our canopy, haha ! We are hunting scraps of woods now. What really opened my eyes was a few years back when Mason became old enough to hunt his own tree by himself. Lots of times we were only 50yds apart and with the Predator on he blended in much better than the other camos. As long as he was still the Fall Grey blended right in with sky and the Greys of our fall woods. Totally agree though with "matching the hatch",theory on dark vs light surroundings.   :coffee:

When I'm pretending to be a tree, my Gray Longhunter wool shirt and hood work great...(I haven't seen a plaid tree yet)..   ;)
