Are the pants that critical or is it primarily the top plus the hood/face mask?I had a flying squirrel land on my chest wearing the north mountain gear.. If someone would have seen it they'd think I was being attacked by a rattlesnake.

No personal experience but the Rancho Safari Shaggy Longcoat really has me interested. Any time I've tried using leaf pants they just get tangled up in brush and briars, so the idea of extending the top to my knees or mid-thigh seems like the right length.
I alos hate Leafy pants for the same reason. Along with the fact alot of them have elastic around the ankles which just rode up on the pair I had. I tried a pair of camo coveralls last year which I think are awesome for saddle hunting. So its cover alls and a leafy top for me this year.No personal experience but the Rancho Safari Shaggy Longcoat really has me interested.

If ticks crawl on anything sprayed with permethrin it kills them.Question: if u spray these mesh leafy suits with permethrin they still do a good jobs of keeping the nastys out? Ticks/chiggers don't make it thru the mesh?
Kinda...I always got treated clothes and I'll still get a tick every once in a whileIf ticks crawl on anything sprayed with permethrin it kills them.
I get dead ticks on my dog every once in a while. They can bite before they die for sure.Kinda...I always got treated clothes and I'll still get a tick every once in a while
I didn’t know you could spray dogs with permethrin. Learn something new everyday.I get dead ticks on my dog every once in a while. They can bite before they die for sure.
Man just stop getting chiggers. That's what I did about 25 years ago. Absolutely the best thing I ever did. I just wish I knew what it was I did. Only thing I can figure is I got so many growing up that I developed an immunity of some sorts. We had a 2 brothers my Dad's age in the hunting club I grew up in. They were 50% Cherokee and they never got chiggers and the skeeters seemed to never bother them either, they always said eat more garlic.I'm genuinely curious for peeps who have used in the past....with the bugs being smaller than the holes in the mesh will they just crawl right thru? Wearing shorts and a t-shirt under 1 of these sounds awesome and I'm all in if it'll still keep the seed ticks and chiggers off
Come on down here and hunt with me and show me the secret pleaseMan just stop getting chiggers. That's what I did about 25 years ago. Absolutely the best thing I ever did. I just wish I knew what it was I did.
Fact. Grew up in Louisiana. I was the same way with chiggers and mosquito bites. They never bothered me. I’d just get a little small red dot where they bit me, no welt, no itch. Then I moved away for 30 years of military service. Now I get welts and they itch like crazy lol.Only thing I can figure is I got so many growing up that I developed an immunity of some sorts.
Trust me if I knew the answer there, I would be hosting twice a day webinar's at $100 per person.Come on down here and hunt with me and show me the secret please
I think you would prefer a “ leafy bug suit” to a mesh Firstlite/ Asat style, the bug mesh offer a good amount of protection but mosquitoes can stil get ya where fabric lays flush like back of neck/ forearm. Permethrin helps with ticks, gnats etcI'm genuinely curious for peeps who have used in the past....with the bugs being smaller than the holes in the mesh will they just crawl right thru?

Man, the ASAT videos are wild. That is the way I am going to go. Thanks.I haven't used it for the past few seasons but I like my ASAT leafy suit
