Rain is no longer an excuse for leaving the stand early

Sitka Gear Inc., has introduced the Downpour Jacket and Pant to offer hardcore whitetail hunters an opportunity to utilize the highest-quality raingear on the market. The Downpour Series is designed with GORE-TEX® PACLITE® Fabric, which is extremely lightweight and resistant to precipitation while remaining breathable. To keep game-spooking noise to an absolute minimum and to further differentiate the Downpour Series from the rest of the pack both the Jacket and Pant feature a lightly brushed face.

Sitka Gear’s top-quality products feature the most scientifically advanced camouflage pattern to ever hit the market – GORE® OPTIFADE^TM Concealment Big Game/Forest. This forest pattern takes into account the distance and extreme angles found while treestand hunting and works to obscure elevated hunters and confuse deer vision. GORE® OPTIFADE^TM Concealment Big Game/Forest utilizes a revolutionary concept involving a micro-pattern that is based off of ungulate vision meaning that in the close confines of most whitetail encounters, the deer will not be able to distinguish a human shape and therefore will be unable to recognize danger – until it’s too late.

Three layers work together to deliver serious comfort and mobility on stand

Sitka Gear Inc., has a few suggestions for hardcore whitetail hunters that find themselves looking for a layering system that performs during all aspects of the hunt. Layering has been a highly effective method for active hunters in mountainous terrain to stay comfortable in the fluctuating conditions the high-country doles out and now whitetail hunters can maximize their field time by layering with Sitka Gear’s appropriate offerings.

To start with, all hunters need a base layer. The ideal candidate for this crucial, next-to-skin component is the Core Zip-T (Core Bottoms are available as well), which features Silver Scent Elimination Technology and SUPER Dry with Odor Technology. Equally important is the insulation layer, and Sitka’s Kelvin Jacket fits the bill perfectly. The lightweight Kelvin Jacket (Pants are available as well) has an extreme heat-to-weight ratio and is filled with Primaloft, a synthetic highloft insulation. Lastly, to stave off the most brutal of outdoor conditions, Sitka recommends the new Stratus Jacket and Bib. Both feature WINDSTOPPER® Fabric, a lightly brushed face to eliminate noise, and full range of motion to aid in every step of the hunt.
