    I am trying to decide between fall gray and brown deception. I think I will go with the deception for no other reason than to despise Duke. Besides, he hunts Illinois. There are booners behind every tree and they are really dumb. You could wear jeans and a white t-shirt, and still kill a 2.5 year old P&Y book....easy.

    Thanks Shed,

    Yep that is the fleece from Cabelas. Windproof layer inside as well. Jacket is so soft I just want to sleep with it.

    Not trying to show the deer off guys. I just think when you look at this photo in black and white it really showes what this camo is capable of doing from a deers eye. Its got to blend even better from a tree.

    I'm wanting to add some Predator camo before next season. I have been worried about the quality of the clothing sold on their site though.

    its always good to see a little proof in the puddin.. not showing off chammel at all, great bucks you have killed there.. congrats..

    Gary I agree, the quality of clothing I have is Excellent, the warp knit and fleece with wind barrier are great items, well built and very comfortable.. Top shelf for the $ in my opinion and I have ALOT of other camo to compair it too.

    I was feeling this way as well, but with the posts by germ and shed on the quality I think I will have a fleece set from predatoer for next year.

    I personally won't wear Fleece as an outer layer.... I do have the fleece vest that is the same as the pants and jacket though from Predator.

    Fleece as an outer layer is begging for trouble where I live.

    Yep, all the stick tights and burr dock in my area will make you want to burn your fleece outlayers.;) Love it for layering though.

    I have a lightweight bucksuede outfit that I find myself wearing later and later into the season. I love the camo, I just need to get some better cold weather gear in it.

    For those that have the vest, how functional is it? I have a "bowhunter" vest with a lot of pockets that I love. The only reason I have gotten one in Predator is because I worry about losing the functionality of all the pockets.

    I got a fleece suit for christmas in fall gray the pants, jacket, vest, beanie and face mask. Haven't worn it yet obviously but I was impressed right out of the box with the fleece. It feels like it will be real warm and I look forward to trying it out on some coyotes shortly.

    I am slowly creeping that way. I just purchased the fleece face mask and already have the BH.com fleece stocking cap. I just wish I hadn't bought so much Realtree AP. Dammit!!!

    I have a Gray Wolf Woolen Fall Gray Jacket & Bibs in Wolf Skin. I hope to add some of the lighter weight wool from them in Fall Gray and lined with wind barrier this year. :-)

    My old Fall Gray bibs finally wore out after years of hard use. But I am really surprised nobody has mentioned the Predator Spring Green.........my all time favorite. I used it from opening day until mid to late November until it literally wore out after I don't know how many seasons. I wish Cabelas would make it in their microtex material.
