I currently have a Bug Tamer "knock off" leafy suit. I like using it over a pair of shorts and T-Shirt when it is hot.

I am in the market for another suit. They seem to be gaining popularity and with that becoming more expensive.

Who uses Leafy Suits and what is your favorite maker? Bug Tamer, Mossy Oak, White River, etc.

I got a Bass Pro Redhead leafy bug suit for $29 when they were on sale a while back. That's my go-to outfit when the temps are above 60. I'll typically just wear Under Armour under them and a pair of Redhead snake boots. Good enough for me!

Note: On those bug suits, white tends to show through, so all my stuff is brown or black underneath. I assume green/blue/etc would be fine, too.

Do any of you shoot traditional with a suit and do you have problems with the "leafy" material catching the string?

I don't shoot TRAD but even with a regular bow I cut the top off an old black sock and pull it up on my bow arm to keep the "leaves" at bay.

I got 4 or 5 of em. Like the the Mossy Oak the best. Don't like how the mesh liner chafes your skin though. I do have a custom Mossy Oak 3D suit with a Vaportech liner, solves the chafing problem but makes the suit hotter and heavier.

I gotten to where I just use the Mossy Oak APX Treklite anymore, lighter and cooler than 3D suites. The colors are so bright and defined it hides me just as well too.

I have a white river that I bought at Bass Pro last spring, and had a hen cuttin and purring in front of me at 6 yards away while the ol tom gobbled his head off trying to catch up with her. The hen just kept walking back and forth just across the dirt road she had me pinned down on, I barley had enough time sit down from the time she first yelped and then came a runnin. After about 20 minutes of her trying to figure out what that big ol pile of leaves was sitting in edge of the dirt road, I heard my brother in laws 12 gauge go off and that tom had gobbled his last.
