Sitka Blizzard Aerolite Parka & Bib Pant. Built to deliver near bombproof protection, Sitka’s newest and warmest big game shell features a strategic blend of fabric and insulation technologies to maximize warmth, minimize bulk and combat severe weather. Both the Parka ($749) and Bib Pant ($699) feature a waterproof 2-layer Gore-Tex laminate and synthetic PrimaLoft Gold Insulation that’s infused with tiny particles of aerogel (developed by NASA, Aerogel is 95 percent air, the lightest solid known to man and is made with 35 percent post-consumer content). Those infused insulation fibers also feature Cross Core Technology to replicate the aesthetics and performance of down insulation, but with warm-when-wet performance. Dedicated late-season whitetailers need to check out Sitka’s similarly constructed Incinerator Aerolite Jacket & Bib.
Pnuma Palisade Puffy Jacket. Here’s a great, ultra-packable choice for squelching winter’s chill on stand, courtesy of its PrimaLoft Gold Insulation Down Blend.

ALPS OutdoorZ Hybrid X. Sporting the kind of increased capacity that many late-season hunters prefer for toting bulky outerwear on the way in and out of remote setups, as well as extra layers and specialized gear, the Hybrid X ($399.99) is capable of storing 2,750 cubic inches. You also get the versatile combination of an internal frame meat hauler with a detachable top-load pack, using a series of compression straps. The frame also features a shelf and compressed wing-style pockets to accommodate small or large hauls. The Hybrid X offers unmatched strength and durability in the field with 1680D Nylon Ballistic and Robic Nylon fabrics with hypalon-reinforced construction. A molded-foam suspension system and Lycra shoulder straps provide comfort and stability on the most unforgiving terrain, and a drop-down stock pocket offers hands-free rifle/shotgun carry.
ALPS OutdoorZ Impulse Pack. Now available in versatile, late-season-friendly Coyote Brown for 2022, the Impulse ($199.99) is an ideal more-compact choice for late-season hunters, especially whitetailers and predator hunters looking for a pack as stealthy silent as they come. That comes courtesy of its DeadQuiet fleece construction that’s designed to help deaden sound upon contact with brush or clothing. You’ll also find a waterproof membrane to protect contents from moisture and to prevent “waterlogging” in snowy or rainy conditions. More stellar silence is found in the zipperless main compartment lid. The fold-open lid utilizes a series of strong magnets and an aluminum hook to keep the lid closed and contents secure during transport, yet allows for quick, silent operation without noisy zippers. Weight is 5 lbs., 4 oz.; total volume is 30L/1,850 cubic inches.
