Funny, I received an email from Costco about their Ghillie suits being on sale the other day. I almost bought one but realized that I have too much stuff as it is. Sure would have been nice coyote hunting the other day.

Re: opinions on leafy suits and face paint
Wow, didn't check this thread for a few days, and I got a lot of great replies.
If it helps anyone, this is the leafy suit I got.

I got brown. It has a hood which is a requirement for me because with my eyeglasses and form, I can't get comfortable with a mask or headnet. That also ties in with face paint, since I have to have an exposed face to be comfortable and shoot.
The posted leafy suit has a hood. It seems very well made. The base layer is not mesh but a very thin fleece with air holes. I spoke with the owner on the phone about sizing, and you couldn't ask for a nicer and more helpful person. There are two different types of suits shown. The more expensive ones are the newer model and if you look closely, you can see that the leaves pop out more and it seems slightly more concealing. I got one of those.
One last tip, I started out with grease paint, but found that the creamy paint doesn't rub off as easily and is a lot more comfortable. I have allergies, and this stuff didn't bother me at all.

I don't paint a fancy pattern, just some different color splotches.
