Let's talk about this stuff
http://www.bowhunting.net/sticks/
I'll start.
I looked at it REAL hard awhile back. Came really close to pulling the trigger, until I got a deal on an ASAT 3D suit.
I think it would be fantastic in a tree stand. From a deers pov, when it looks up, it sees limbs, leaves, and sky. This stuff seems to have the proper blend of lighter colors that seem like it would really disappear in this setting.
If they offered it in a 3D suit, I'd have to have one.
Jeff, you're next.
Rack, do your thing...

RE: Let's talk about this stuff
LOVE Sticks N' Limbs..I hunted it with it for a couple seasons.
My only issue was that the clothes I had were poorly made (Clarkfield made my Jacket and pants), and the pattern faded fairly easily.
If I could find well made clothes that fit my needs (hence my post over on AT, Rangeball) I would still use it. The coloration is PERFECT IME.
The pattern is excellent as is, but if somehow one could apply the tonal range of SnL to the Predator pattern, I believe that would be the ultimate camo pattern.
If Freddie Bear Sports can come through with the sizing I need (and it seems so, cost is still the only unknown, I need to contact them) I think I will end up that way. I just cannot find ASAT or Predator camo that fits my needs (heavy insulated gear that is bowhunting friendly) that also doesn't cost several hundred dollars (Like Predator Inc., or Day One)
And as you said on AT, a SnL "leafy" or "3D" camo would be incredible.
BTW that "blueish" tint really has a good chameleon effect..in a tree on a sunny day it gets more blueish, and when overcast or on the ground it gets a medium tone gray. Same with a brown or green area..it "adapts" quite well.

Based on what Freddie Bear offers in clothing styles, which is very limited imo, I figure one could buy the cargo pants, long sleeve t-shirt and head net then 2 yards of the fabric.
Cut the fabric into 5-6" wide strips, then sew them vertically on the clothes, with one stitch in the middle of the fabric. Then, cut a wavy edge like the ASAT 3D has on the unsecured edges of the loose fabric. Viola, a S&L 3D suit...
Actually, I'd be happy with just the t-shirt/headnet combo done this way, could wear them with my ASAT 3D pants.
Probably will never do this, as it costs money, time and labor, and my ASAT 3D seems to work so well...
But, it'd be cool if they offered S&L in a 3D suit. I think I'd have to have one of those...
