Lighter. Warmer. More stealthy. If you’re looking to upgrade your big game huntwear arsenal, let your search start here.
ScentLok Bowhunter Elite:1 Voyage Jacket & Pant. New for 2019, Bowhunter Elite:1 apparel is premium gear designed for the serious rut hunter, and the midweight Voyage Jacket ($189.99) & Pant ($189.99) combo designed for full-season wear is just one component of the system that includes multiple jacket, pant and base layer garments, as well as gloves, headcovers and caps. All utilize the exclusive True Timber O2 Whitetail pattern that is ideal for elevated stand hunting—and you’ll also find ultra-silent fabrics and proven Carbon Alloy technology.
Huntworth Men’s Heavy Weight Half Zip Pullover & Soft Shell Pants. When the rut hunting gets tough, this ultra-silent, heat-trapping combo is designed to be tougher. Both the Heavy Weight Half Zip Pullover ($159.99) and Soft Shell Pants ($139.99) feature InVelvet fleece construction, bonded to a waterproof breathable film and thick, toasty Sherpa fleece for a combined weight of approximately 300 grams. Microban antimicrobial protection on the bonded Sherpa fleece provides welcome scent reduction, and a durable water repellent finish sheds moisture and light snow. The proven, all-season Disruption camo pattern utilizes computer-generated graphics to help you remain undetected in treestands, and in a wide variety of terrain.
ScentLok Savanna Crosshair Aero Early Season Jacket & Pant. When your gear is lighter you can travel farther and hunt harder. ScentLok is helping with its new-for-2019 Savanna Aero Crosshair Jacket ($109.99-$129.99) and Pant ($119.99-$129.99) that are 20-percent lighter than previous Savanna Crosshair apparel. These feature-rich garments also combine proven Carbon Alloy odor-adsorbing technology, with a new No-Sheen fabric to reduce visibility in the field. The goal? Deliver the most effective early-season whitetail gear ever made.
ScentBlocker Adrenaline Jacket & Pant. This top-of-the-line mid-season apparel should make serious rut hunters drool. Built for those moments when the bucks are running and hunter hearts are racing, Adrenaline features Cold Fusion Catalyst, ScentBlocker’s top odor-controlling technology, combined with a 20-percent Merino wool fleece lining. This versatile mid-to-late season Jacket ($179.99) and Pant ($179.99) are absolutely dead silent with a soft, brushed face and micro-grid interior.
Sitka Fanatic Jacket (Right & Lefty Versions). Die-hard mature whitetail hunters look for gear that will help them win one of Fall’s biggest challenges. Consider the newly redesigned Fanatic Jacket ($449; righty version shown) that takes the quest for silence to the next level by cutting the audible engagement distance with a deer in half. An enhanced high-loft Berber fleece face silences the new and ultra-quiet Gore-Tex Infinium with WindStopper Technology, which is packaged with PrimaLoft Silver Hi-Loft Ultra insulation for the coldest days in the stand by providing 20-percent more warmth than the prior model. A new body-mapped construction is designed to optimize the archery draw cycle for bowstring clearance on the left arm (Righty version) along with reduced bulk in the draw arm to keep you quiet and your arrow flight true. The Constant-Connect Sitka Safety Harness Port simplifies donning and doffing the jacket while secured to a torso-mounted harness tether, eliminating the need to disconnect from your harness when adding or subtracting layers.
Sitka Kelvin Active Hoody. An effective big game huntwear arsenal begins and ends with smart layering, and Sitka has it nailed. The new-for-2019 Kelvin Active Hoody ($269) is the ideal layering companion for Sitka’s Apex Hoody, providing highly breathable, lightweight, low-bulk insulation. The half-length sleeves reduce bulk, provide for bowstring clearance, and allow the wearer to utilize the elbow pads in the Apex Hoody. The 4-way stretch nylon shell provides unencumbered movement and a form-fitting hood provides optimized peripheral vision and low heat retention while on the move. A Durable Water Repellent coating repels moisture, and Polartec Alpha Direct Insulation eliminates the need for a liner to provide superior breathability and warmth in an ultralight package.Browning Hell’s Canyon CFS-WD Rain Suit. All hunters need dependable rain gear, and this fine suit ($99.99) covered in Mossy Oak Break-Up Country camo is both nicely packable (a definite bonus) and affordable. The “WD” means Warm and Dry, delivered by its water/windproof fabric with fully taped seams. You’ll also find hunter-friendly drawcord adjustable pants and hood, and harness access for treestand work.
