My leafy suit seen it's last season this past spring and I'm looking to replace it. I have only had 2 leafy suits in my life, so my experience with them is limited. What are some suits that have held up good for y'all? I'm not sure what the life expectancy on a suit is for a run n gun turkey hunter, but i would think they should last longer than (2) 2 week turkey seasons, which is what i got out of mine. 4 weeks of use isn't much. What brands should i be looking at? Thanks for the help!

I've got a Cabela brand that has held up well.

The ASAT leafy suit has held up and worked well for me.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Have had two. One with buttons worked best for me. Cant remember where I got it, maybe Cabela's?

Have a Cabela's pullover style that I have hunted for 4 years. Our season is 1.5 months and I have hunted a couple out of states. I do not take it easy in it and it still looks great. Caught is on sale for like 20 bucks so I bought a back up after I got the first. I have also deer hunted and duck hunted in it. I expect another 5 years or so as long as nothing drastic happens. It is a bit aggravating in briars but would not hunt without a leafy jacket any more. Do not wear the pants.

Cabelas version in Realtree, and I added some green/black jute to it to give some added color. Good blend for early season and just green enough for late season. Two seasons and still like new.

I've got a few different ones. I much prefer the ASAT over the Cabelas ones, except for the zipper being on the wrong side.

The Cabelsas seems to be darker and more blob like than the ASAT, it just seems to blend better

The cabelas model has a great phone pocket on the chest

Are skeeters an issue where you hunt? If so, get a leafy Bugtamer suit. Kill 2 birds with one stone. (pun intended!!! ;D)
