Anyone ever try this? I was going through the legacy locker (some good deals going on now) but I was wondering if anyone has used this when its been snowing/winter time? I wanted predator brown came but they don't have my size unfortunately..
 
Yes

Vertigo grey is awesome, but only for very specific time frames. When there is snow in the trees and or when your in a tree and the foliage (leaves) is gone and you have absolutely no background cover, the Vertigo pattern can't be beat. Also great for calling coyotes in the winter.

Attached is a buck I took in Kansas using Vertigo. Now I must admit that no matter the age, bucks in Kansas are relatively stupid and are nothing remotely close to as smart, savvy, or fearful of everything as deer in let's say Pa, W. Va., N. Y., Mi., and several other high pressured states, but I do believe that had I been using a dark pattern that I might have been picked because from a deer's perspective I would have looked like a big blob in the tree against a light blue sky backdrop. The colors in dark patterns from a distance of only 20 yards all bleed together into a large dark blob. Vertigo has many sections of white (light grey actually) interspersed with dark that break up the human figure. I've had deer after gun season in Michigan look at me and then drop their heads and go on about their business as if I couldn't be confirmed as a human figure. It's as if the large white patches of the pattern match the skyline and break me up.

A vertigo suit will last a lifetime because there are only a few times each season that the pattern will be required.

Awesome, although I really liked the predator brown, but I think for the late season and winter bow this will suit my needs perfectly. And the price right now can't be beat. 50% off everything in the legacy locker can't be beat. Was able to get tops, bottoms, and a head cover all for under $150.
