Waterfowling Apparel

1. Boreal Jacket Newest Addition to Sitka Gear Waterfowl Line Picking up where it left off last year in its first foray into waterfowl hunting apparel, Sitka Gear has added another nifty product with the introduction of the Boreal Jacket. Featuring Gore's Optifade Concealment Marsh camouflage pattern, the Boreal incorporates a Gore-Tex membrane with the warmth of 650-fill down. The hood is adjustable and the cuffs are water-sealing, providing optimal protection from the elements. This new-look jacket also features two chest and two shotshell pockets. sitkagear.com

2. Browning's Dirty Bird Unveils New Wader Jacket and Bibs Building on a proven winner, Browning continues to enhance its popular Dirty Bird waterfowl clothing line with an insulated wader jacket and insulated bibs. Browning uses PrimaLoft Synergy insulation in this clothing, which is not only lightweight and quick-drying but also built for comfort and freedom of movement. The shells are made of Pre-Vent waterproof material. Available in Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Blades and Realtree MAX-4 camouflage patterns, this apparel features all the bells and whistles, including well-placed pockets, watertight zipper guards, adjustable cuffs, and more. browning.com

This combination provides warmth and breathability while remaining quiet and soft. This garment can be used as part of a layering system in extreme cold or as an outer jacket.
