    I tried to do a search for this but didn't come across anything so if this is a repost, sorry:confused:

    Anywhy, I got a catalog from River West hunting clothing yesterday in the mail, up until May 31st, they have buy one item get an equal or lesser valued item for 50% off.

    It has piqued my curiosity, I am in the market to get a new hunting suit for the upcoming bow season, and this seems to fit all my requirements outside of I did want to take a dip into the scentlok type suit, but I will skip out on that if I can find something that will last as long as my last outfit has held up (about 10 years now, but not waterproof and starting to really fade)

    Anyone have any experience with this brand? good? bad? indifferent?

    How is the warmth level, can you layer up under it? good movement? quiet? relatively burr-proof? water proof? (i would hope so this is there niche from what i have read)

    Link if anyone is curious

    Dude, if you are clumping me with anything resembling a great mind.......well you gotta set that bar higher :d


    I have been getting their catalogs for the last few years, got a cloth sample one time even, seemed like cool stuff.

    Did a little snooping around for other online reviews, seeing that a general theme is the stuff is HOT and doesn't breath all that well.

    Well, I walk to and from the stand and sit in stand for the duration of the hunt, so hot is not a bad thing for me. My biggest concern is picking up something and it will not be warm enough and to make it warm enough I would have to layer up so much pulling the bow would not be all that feasible....
