So while I had a nice camo jump suit years ago, couldn't find it. Wanted to get into the woods this fall on short notice and a shorter budget, spent $35 at Amazon for a pull over mesh pant and jacket set and a separate face mask.
The camo worked well - had turkeys just a few yards away that were blissfully unaware. Unfortunately, no beards so no bird but...
Anyway, what I really like about this cheap stuff is that it is just mesh with some extra fabric for the 3d leaf look. Which means I wear it over regular clothes, which really helps here in Florida where it is in the 70s and 80s for bow and muzzle loading season and not a lot cooler for a majority of general gun season other than the occasional drop down to the low 30s or high 20s... Never mind Spring turkey season in March and April. So dressing appropriately for weather (and bugs!) is easy AND I still get to impersonate a bush. Once I get some mesh gloves (just gotta stop by a local place when they are open) I'll have full camo AND mosquito coverage.... Only real issue seems to be I need a set of stirrups or something to keep the pants down at my ankles - they tend to ride up when sitting, leaving my white socks and/or jeans exposed. Should be a simple 10 minute mod when I think about it (couple cloth strips, some needle and thread, done)
Lots of similar options from various places via Amazon, can recommend for a kids first few tries at hunting, a spare set, a hot weather just-in-case set, a guest set, etc
Ever seen a self watering bush?
