Just like mine. I like them. They are still hot in the early season, but once you get settled on stand and just relax you will start to cool down especially if there is a breeze.

Morning Star, that is the one I have,in mossy.
Like BMOELER says, hot in the early season, and down here it is HOT. Our opener is next weekend and temps expected in the low 90s to upper 80s.
I may wear mine during the morning hunt but not in the afternoon. Also hoping for a little wind. The big drawback is it hangs on everything, but we have a lot of "cat briar" vines and other stuff with thornes.Not a great stalking suit but great from a ground blind, or as a replacement for a ground blind.
It does make a great bug suit also.

I have one and like it very much. You have to do some trimming to eliminate string interference but otherwise it works well.
Great people to deal with also. The owner of the company is a bowhunter.

I have one made of the same material but it is a one piece garment with a hood and it comes down to my knees. I wrap some cord around my bow arm and do not have any problems with the string catching on the ghillie suit strands. It works very well for allowing you to disappear in the woods. Best for cooler weather for sure.

I bought a poncho kit from another site. Took forever to put it together but works great. It has a hood and comes down below my knees. Shot my buck last year wearing it, tucked under a cedar tree.

I use one made by Cabela's. It si simular to the leafy suits, but has strands of cotton on it. It is light and resists burrs and other stick tights better. I have had both turkeys and deer VERY close to me hiding in plain sight.

Got 1 pretty much like it & used it ia Africa. Loved it! Only problem was that it hangs up on everything, & we crawled a lot. Allowed we to sit in a treestand over there without a blind around me, so I swear by them. I left mine in Africa so I'm shopping for a new one, might look at this one.
