3-LAYER FIELD JACKET 20067678

The avid upland hunter waits eagerly all year long for the autumn months in pursuit of wild birds behind a loyal, hard-running dog. Because wet and cold conditions shouldn’t put a damper on those magical days afield, we engineered our 3-Layer Field Jacket to withstand the foulest weather, as well as the thickest cover–right where those elusive birds are often found.

For fully-waterproof protection, a traditional solution for hunters has been to rely on high-performance mountaineering clothing. But that gear is designed for a different job, where packability and lightness of weight top the list of design priorities. Those lightweight jackets, while great 6,000 feet up a mountainside, don’t stand up to the thick sagebrush, cattails and briars encountered in the pursuit of wild game. To create waterproof protection that meets the requirements of our hunting customers, we worked with our supplier to produce high-performance, waterproof/breathable fabric tough enough to withstand the punishing abuse of busting through heavy brush all day. This exceptional fabric consists of a rugged nylon shell with a waterproof, breathable membrane laminated to it. The third layer is a tricot backer, which protects the membrane, adds warmth and helps vapors to dissipate and escape to the outside, keeping you dry from sweat buildup. To ensure complete protection, it’s fully seam-sealed and employs YKK® AquaGuard® zippers at the front closure and ventilating pit-zips.
