Best Use: Whitetail - Cold Conditions
Purpose built for stand hunting in early- to mid-season conditions, this un-insulated softshell jacket is equipped with an ultra-quiet, low-sheen outer layer, with a bonded jacquard fleece interior for increased warmth while maintaining optimal breathability and temperature regulation. The jacquard fleece is not only lighter weight, but its negative space traps pockets of warm air for added comfort.
Whitetail hunting focused features include a layered safety harness port, magnetic quiet-closure hand pockets with interior heat pack/hand warmer pockets, and dual chest pockets with accessory loops for secure rangefinder attachment. For added stealth and silence, all zippers feature quiet sliders, while the wrist cuffs leverage a tapered stretch opening instead of using a hook and loop closure system.
The jacket is designed to layer over a base layer and mid-layer fleece, all in the same size.
