Printed camo clothing Good color match, flat outline Varies Varies Tree stands, base layer under a leafy suit

Two-piece leafy suits

A jacket and pants cover you fully when you sit, kneel or climb, and stay put while you move. Titan 3D suits use double-sided 3D leaves on breathable No-See-Um mesh, with a hood, removable mosquito face mask, zippered pockets and a carry bag. Choose the Adult Leafy Suit ($99.95), Outfitter Series ($149.95) and Youth Leafy Suit ($89.95).

Leafy ponchos and one-piece covers

Ponchos throw on fast and cover your upper body, but they can flap, catch on brush and leave your legs uncovered when you sit. They suit short, quick setups more than all-day hunts.

Ghillie suits

Ghillie suits use dense strands of jute, burlap or synthetic thread. In tall, dry grass they are hard to beat, but they are heavy, hot, absorb water and catch on everything. See Ghillie Suit vs Leafy Suit and what is a ghillie suit.

Printed camo clothing

Printed camo matches color and pattern but leaves a smooth, human-shaped outline. It works well up a tree, where you are above the animal’s line of sight, and as a base layer under a leafy suit for ground hunts.

Which should you choose?

  • Ground hunting deer or turkeys: a two-piece leafy suit plus a mask and gloves.
  • Bowhunting: a two-piece leafy suit with bow arm sleeves.
  • Long sits in tall grass: a ghillie suit, if you can handle the heat and weight.
  • Tree stand only: printed camo is often enough, with a leafy suit for close-range or low stands.
