    What are people's opinions on bow hunting camo. I'm looking for something less bulky and quiet. I like under armour but was curious what others are using.

    What specific predator gear are people using? The fleece setup looks nice but water resistance is an issue there. How is the gear for warmth and how bulky is it. I love the fall grey pattern.

    I where realtree hardwoods but i have bought the leafy wear and i just where that over my other camo...When hunting with my dad he says its diffcult to see me in the stand when hunting is done for the day. its nice because you can dress hot or cool that day depending on the weather and you can just throw that over your clothes i am happy with it

    predator is the way to go. If you want the finest in camo then look no futher then predator camo made by gray wolf woolens. They have standard sizing and options and custom made garments. I highly recommend wolfskin its dead quite and seems to last forever.

    Okay guys, there seems to be a trend here. What type of Predator camo are people using. I like the fleece set in the fall gray but my my concern is the water resistance. I want something that is versatile that I can wear early season to late season with layering. Hunting in NH I like to sit in hemlock trees for some cover, does the fall gray pattern work here? I can only see the Predator products online as there are no dealers around me.

    At the price he charges for clothing, though, I would have a hard time choosing between Predator Fall Grey/Fall Brown or Sitka's clothing in Optifade camo. The closest Gander Mtn to my town has Stika clothing on sale for 30% off, making it less expensive than GWW.

    The Predator pattern should work in the trees no matter what kind of trees they are. I, too, would like something that is waterproof/resistant in Predator, but I haven't found anything other than GWW. I just don't have the money for that unfortunately.

    All of my predator was bought directly through them and not at GWW, I have brown deception everything and green deception light weight stuff. As far as warmth the fleece is amazing, its not bulky and has a wind barrier built in to cut wind. When the weather is ****ty i wear the rain gear they sell.... no fleece is waterproof that i'm aware of. Either fall gray or brown deception are the way to go if your a treestand hunter. I use my green deception for early season and turkey hunting. The poly pants and shirts are freaking amazing during early season!

    I'm liking the looks of Lost Camo! The more I see it advertised in different scenery, the more I like it, since it blends in so good. It definitely breaks-up the human outline.
