Great camo!  ASAT and Predator are by far my two favorite patterns.

I have been using ASAT since 1990, it is good stuff. Bought my first set from Brigade Quartermasters and am still kicking myself in the butt for not getting the wool sweater in ASAT they used to carry.

I have been using the ASAT knit sweater and pants for 10-15 years.  There is no better pattern in my estimation and the knit stuff was one of the best purchases I ever made.

I bought the leafy 3D suit this year.  The pattern just seems to blend in with anything.

I went with the lightweight suit because I wanted something I could wear in hot weather or over my cold weather gear.

Same here. I got the suit a little big so when winter hits, If it actually does hit here in Louisiana, I can slip it over some warmer clothes...

ASAT Camo is a great pattern. It is by far one of the better patterns out there.  It pretty much conceals one in all kinds of terrain and I think thats why it is so effective.

Guess what? Stika gear is making their stuff in ASAT and it is available starting tomorrow. Albertakid (TG Sponsor) is a distributor and my order is already in! Gonna need it for elk in two weeks!

I bought my first ASAT Ultimate 3D camo in 1997. It is awesome and still like new. It just gets better and more quiet every time it is washed.

Animals just can't see me in my ASAT.

I tried to order a leafy suit and they said there will be none this hunting season due to the supplier who makes them no longer doing it and they need to find a new factory to make that particular version of the ASAT line :-(.

I am really thinking about some Sitka Gear in ASAT, most notably the vest and summit shirt, the stuff looks functional and well made....

ASAT stands for All Season All Terrain and brother did they nail it. That 3D Pro Vanish leafy suit is killer. I had the biggest buck I have ever missed at 15 yards with 12 other deer and none saw me. I was on the ground in farly open woods. Oh and I know you're probably wondering so I'll tell you. I was so focused on the spot and making no mistakes in shooting that I didn't seet the 2 inch think branch that was directly in the flight path of the arrow 5 yards in front of me.

Good for Deer, but I noticed the base is yellow or khaki, how is it for Turkey?

I bougth some of the original Brigade stuff when it first came out. Twenty years later it was so faded the background was almost white so I retired it. Very well made stuff so it was structurally sound but too light and deer really picked it out. I bought some camo restore dye and brought it back to close to the original colors and started using it again. Works great!

toddster,

I have had turkeys walk past the tips of my toes and not know I was there.
