Bottomland or Greenleaf

I prefer to use a combination of the bottomland pants along with the greenleaf shirt or jacket. Best of both worlds  :OGturkeyhead:

Bottomland.... never owned a piece of greenleaf, but it does look good. I would rather look like 100% part of the tree I'm leaning against. In my eyes, the green leaves will make your movement more noticeable from a distance.

I have that same vest in Mossy Oak Obsession camo. Love that vest so much, it is my second one!!! Great choice!!!
After a bunch of reviews and trying different vest on it seemed like bang for the buck you can't beat it. Many people said they had the same vest 8 years! I'll take proven durability over trendy any day especially when it comes to hunting gear.

I have one of the original super elites that I bought slightly used in 2002. It's seen better days, but I was still using it last season

Is Greenleaf available in any other fabric than 100% cotton?   I don't like how quickly the patterns in cotton fade.  Got 2 sets of Bottomland in Trek-Lite that I use much of the turkey season.

Depends on where I am hunting and what the area looks like.
In pines I wear bottomland or break up tops to match the trees.

If it is an area with good ground cover that has green I where the greenleaf or break up.

My favorite pattern has quickly become break up as it blends just about everywhere and it disappears in the shadows.

I have found that Break up turns into a big black blob at around 60-70 yards.

In open fall woods or before the green up in spring I agree.  I have watched guys I've hunted with in the original Advantage, and MO new Bottomland, walk through the big woods at 50, 100, and 150 yards. When they stop, they just flat disappeared. 

The MO Break-up, you can still see them, looks a bit too dark.  Add some foliage though, and MO Break-up also disappears.

I prefer both it just depends on the area I am hunting at the time. Bottomlands works good in some areas here in North Florida, especially with the crazy winter/spring/summer we have during a weeks time. Yet towards the end of the season Greenleaf blends better since everything has finally turned green.

I was once a big Break Up fan. Nearly everything I had was Breakup. Several years ago my buddies and I went to a state waterfowl area and ended up getting blinds close to each other. At 300 yards the Breakup was black. After that I did my own un scientific experiment. I hung a Bottomland and a Breakup shirt in a tree in some fairly open woods and walked away. 50 yards and under there was no difference. Beyond that the Bottomland won hands down.
