Hunting & Fishing Camouflage clothing / over clothing options

[jbell]

I am looking for inexpensive but effective camo pants and jacket that are designed to wear over clothes. I am thinking something like a leafy suit or the mesh base to it. I prefer the mesh style vs the leafy style because I have ordered a few inexpensive leafy suits and the materials used in the leaf part has been shiny / reflective. I would like to keep the cost down as this is not going to be my primary hunting clothing. It needs to be light in weight and bulk to pack easily and well vented to stay cool. It will be used year round, so I prefer more grays, tans, & light browns vs deep greens. Thank you in advance.

This kind of stuff always seems to be shiny and reflective because of the synthetic materials. I have a couple pieces like you describe. One is for bugs and is a double layer thing that skeeters cant bite through. The other is a cheap piece I got when I was young and could only afford one piece of Camo to put over everything. Neither is great for light absorption. Most stuff isn't as good as people think in that realm. The natural fibers like wool seem to be the best for light absorption. If you put most synthetic pieces in the light and then change the angles you can see the "sheen". Critters can pick up on that sheen as its not natural, they dont always, but they can. Im not aware of any mesh "overclothes" made from natural fibers so Im also interested.

Made a set like you are wanting years back for hunting, and running my trap line. Used old Korean & V/N war bug netting and rattle cans. Top & bottom would fold up and fit into your hat, easy on & off, using snaps. In today's world the Black netting would work perfect w/a little rattle can.
