Leafy Jacket Comparison Help
I currently own a Nomad leafy jacket but am looking at the North Mountain Gear version.
Nothing wrong with the Nomad just a tad warm. Does anyone have experience with both for a comparison? I know a lot of people like the NMG. If “weight” is the same I’ll stick w what I have. I only wear it in certain circumstances anyway.

Never had the nomad but my north mountain gear leafy is a few years old. I like it
If you are looking for something lighter weight/not as hot, this ain’t it. For most of the season I just wear mine over a dark colored t shirt and still sweat my ass off
The sizing runs pretty big on the NMG

Looked at both and bought the NMG. I wear it a lot during turkey seasons.

North Mountain hands down. That pouch is perfect.
Them that don't know him won't like him, and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong, he's just different, and his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right
They don't put Championship rings on smooth hands

NMG is great
None of them breathe and they are hot AF!

Hot or not, I don't leave the truck without mine bc I do believe they make a difference in hiding you

They aren't super hot. They have little holes throughout which helps let the air flow thru. I just throw on a dark shirt and a pair of shorts and I'm fine. Wear it for deer and turkey season. Had it about 3 or 4 yeses and it has held up way better than I could have ever expected.

Leafy Bug Tamer. Had one in MO Obsession for 20 plus years??? No what you asked about, but another option.

There ain’t a leafy out there that ain’t hot as far as I’m concerned with a vest over it. I like my north mountain jacket though as mentioned that pouch is nice.

NMG for the win.
Gutpile is correct on the stealth aspect. They are great concealment.

I wear one (or a Bugtamer) during the hot days of early deer season. Wet it and put it in a ziplock back until you're at the stand and ready to wear it. Will keep you cool(er) for several hours.

Have one in the closet! Mine's MO Break Up though.

I have t owned a nomad but the north mountain is awesome. As previously stated, they are hot, but anything is when it’s 90°!
