NMG leafy jacket

Is the jacket lightweight enough that when it gets into May that you can wear a SS tshirt under the jacket and stay cool??  I normally wear a LS Tshirt but after a wash or 2 the tshirts seem to really "white fuzz" and fade even when turned inside out in the washer.

I see they mention about "moisture management to stay cool" but not exactly sure what it means, I guess.

Any experience appreciated....

The answer is yes.  I wear mine down here all season, at the end it's usually brutal hot.  Sometimes in the beginning lol.

I decided to go with the NMG jacket based on the recommendations.  It showed up today.  A really nice jacket and it will be really nice once the temps get hot.  Thanks for the feedback, everyone.  15% off thanks to the OG/NMG code was nice as well!

I have one.  Been wearing it this year.  Have had hens at 15 and 20 yards, so you are good there.  It does let the slightest breeze through it.  My old one was a little cooler, but not a lot.  On a really warm day, I go with just a long sleeve T though.  Although it is not a bug tamer, it keeps the skeeters off my back and arms very well.  I am happy with mine.

Use some permethrin and No More Ticks, Skeeters or Red Bugs!

Haha I would feel hot in 88 degrees wearing shorts and a short sleeve tshirt.

Turkeys in the morning and hogs in the late evenings.

Georgia weather is fickle. A week earlier, I wore insulated bib overalls on opening day.

I wore mine in Florida without a shirt on under it. I was fine like that but that rough material was rougher on the old nips ????. The temps was in the high 50's to low 60's in the mornings

Need some pasties.  ;D

A shirtless man covered in camo pasties could have my area of the woods all to himself.  :)
