Title: ASAT camo
Post by: bowtech721 on May 01, 2010, 05:51:34 PM: anybody wear it or have used it? It looks a little weird but i met the guy who owns the company now and of course he had a real good sales pitch but i just wanted to hear from somebody else who might have used it. :dunno:

Post by: HerdBull on May 01, 2010, 07:10:43 PM: I use Predator Fall Grey !!! Great stuff ! El;k and Deer can't see it !!! :chuckle: There is a pictorial essay out there somewhere that proves PFG is the ticket! However Predator is lacking in imagination when it comes to fabrics. They just don't understand Cotton don't work these days. :bash: They do have some synthetic fabrics. Bought a pair of pants made out of the stuff. Too Stiff and noisy still!!

You are right ASAT does look weird!! That is why I have not tried it.

The rest of the mfr's still manufactures stuff that looks like a dark blob past 40 yds!! :bash: Some of them are starting to come around! But they still can't get past the traditional camo aspect. :dunno:

Took many wt's from my tree stand during archery season wearing ASAT camo. Good open country pattern too. As mentioned above too many camos look like a dark silhouette from long distances.

I have Predator Fall in fleece. Bought it from LL Bean 15 years ago.

Post by: MAVsled on May 02, 2010, 01:15:59 PM: yes, the ASAT works very well. I have the Ultimate models (pant-jacket).
It is a great open country pattern, eastern WA ponderosa/pines forest or late season in my blacktail woods.

I was in OR last fall and in a green (wetside) background. My Predator FG's needed a break and cleaning.
Over 3 days and several does, small blacktail bucks, 3 bull elk walked within 20-30 yards and never noticed me. But I did not move and the wind was right.
The blacktail buck was arrowed at 18 yards and never looked my way 'till he caught my draw movement.

Post by: Todd_ID on May 17, 2010, 11:58:20 PM: I've been using it for 8 or 10 years now and love it. I think the best thing they have is the 3D suit; I wear whatever I want underneath. I can wear it pretty much anywhere and any season, and the critters can never quite figure out what you are, even up close. I've got several sets of the cotton tops and pants, but they aren't any good in the wet weather.

p.s., That's a sponsored opinion, but I wouldn't be using it if I wasn't positive it was the best.
