SHOT SHOW 19: Hunting with Sitka

As mentioned before: there is good camouflage gear available beyond military companies. At the SHOT Show 19, we encountered SITKA again, which we find extremely interesting. Above you have a quick look at the equipment that was displayed there.

At first glance, you might be tempted to laugh when you see a backpack like that. Yes, it's for hunters, hence the symbolic antlers not included at the back. SITKA explains what it is on their website nicely with "Our Why".These are the details of the Fanatic Pack, by the way.

And this one really catches the eye. Such a cozy backpack ... But that's just a pleasant side effect that shouldn't seduce you. The point is that the backpack is supposed to be extremely quiet, no rustling, no wind noise when the hunter is out with the Fanatic. And it's a bow hunter, who needs to get quite close to his prey. This wool fabric - the Berber Fleece - silences all sounds.

And so the Fanatic Backpack has no loud closures, everything is solved with clever straps. No "click" that would scare away the game.

The result is also clothing that is sorted by types of landscapes: open or wooded terrain, along with very innovative designs, which we would love to try outdoors, like this Fanatic Jacket with the slanted zipper and the - yes - cozy look. The hand muffler is already integrated. We find the camouflage pattern quite good ...

Also with these pants, you can see exciting features that come from practice. The pattern is called GORE OPTIFADE Subalpine, HERE it is presented directly at SITKA.

And so the bow hunter waits at the tree for his prey. The SITKA Gear is certainly suitable for more than just hunters and offers solutions that are of high quality and provide an exciting alternative camouflage pattern.
