Cold has been DEFEATED; my setup is working!!

[Hardcorehunter]

Well, the cost is rising in this setup, but since no one else is offering a fleece cold weather, magnet closure, open leg, bow hunting setup; I had to develop my own. I just ordered my Predator Deception Fleece for my Inferno suit, from an online supplier(Thanks to RNO for the link:thumbs_up) that has limited quantities, and it was $13 a yd. I ordered 7 yds, which is way more, according to my girlfriend, then I will need, but I want to deck out some more bow hunting items that I own with the Fleece. I will remove the 3D leafy you see. I am going to have the entire outside of the suit covered in Predator Fleece and the inside from the waist up, so that when opened to shoot, it is quiet and the animal sees nothing but predator fleece. I will post pics of the finished product hopefully soon. Although deer season is winding down, there is a lot of winter left, and predator season is going to be in full steam. I also found a supplier that puts out a winter fleece pattern, that is similiar to (Hardwoods Snow/Skyline Horizen) and I may have to make myself one of these too, so I have one for the ground too. It would work well in the tree stand too. I just prefer Predator, so I want my 1st one to be Predator Fleece.

Jay, Thanks for the interest, It's been a busy year and I honestly haven't had a chance to get any further then making my own and completing it. It is WARM. I believe honestly that one could use this on a musk ox or polar bear hunt in the extremist of cold weather( if I was to implement arms in one). To recap, it started as a military extreme cold down sleeping bag, and I have lined the entire inside and outside with heavy weight deception predator fleece. This is the only bulk fleece offered on sites in Predator, so fall gray was not an option. It works like a charm, and is warm and quiet. The magnet closures work like a charm and are neodyium magnets. When it is time to draw a bow, I exit the suit quietly and easily when it is time for the kill. The buckle up legs are awesome too, and very easy to use. If I was to make and sell these with MY time and labor, the price would be high. I have many hours of labor, research, fitting, field use, to get it where I wanted it. I have yet to see if I can get experienced sewers going on the idea. The thickness of the fleece and the overall material thickness, made this a hard project with a regular sewing machine, so much had to be done by hand. A commercial grade machine that can handle thick material would have to be implemented
