Hunting clothing

Wondering how you all feel about these…
Just ordered top and bottoms. I'm starting to bow hunt so I'm more concerned with camo than I would be if I were rifle hunting. An experienced friend swears by these. They're light, pretty breathable, quiet, and can be worn over anything. Being in Southern California I'm not too concerned about how they function when wet. I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever see rain again…

RedHead 3D Evolution (shown here in what I ordered, Mossy Oak Brush).

Top and pants will only set you back $80.

Craig- that looks like they've taken a page out of the sniper's handbook and commercially produced a quasi-ghille suit. I can't speak to how animals view it, but ghillie suits (when done correctly) are extremely hard to pick up. We got to play some w/ them at one of the long range riffle schools I attended-very effective and you were able to supplement the suit w/ native grasses/plants to make them even more effective.

With the hood up and a face mask they're really effective. What impressed me about them is how light they actually are; you'd think they'd be more restrictive.

I can't speak for animals, though my friend (and bowhunting mentor) has taken plenty of deer using one….But I can attest they definitely work against people…He demoed his at the archery range the other day and I had considerable trouble picking him out at 40+ yards. Would've been even harder if I didn't know where he was.

It's likely overkill for rifle rifle hunting, probably even dangerous (especially without any blaze), but I'm hunting archery only areas/season so that's not a concern for me.

Just wanted to throw it out there as it seems like a very cheap/effective way to go with over clothes.

Thanks to everyone for their insight and advice. What initiated my post was opening day stalking a buck in high, wet grass and my Red Ledge rain going swish-swish – I did get him anyway.
I don't wear my "regular" hiking/backpacking clothing because:
1 – I store my hunting clothes with deer tails in garbage bags inside sealed totes to allow deer scent to permeate the clothing.
2 – I don't really want to get blood on my regular outdoor clothes, so I have clothing dedicated to hunting.

I asked about camo because I hunt in temps ranging from 60 to 20 Fahrenheit, sun, rain, wind, and snow, so need a wide range of layers, preferably all in camo.

Even though I am rifle hunting, I like stalking and going for a 50 yd or less shot – one shot, one kill is my goal, usually realized.

So, I rifle hunt with the attitude of a bow hunter, more or less.

Check out First Lite clothing. They do a lot of Merino stuff, but also have a great puffy out, and just came out with a power grid fleece similar to the Pata. Their gear is top notch IME, and is available in camo.
