The new Vantage Hoodie is a sun shield and sweat vacuum. Made from our newest extreme wicking bamboo charcoal infused honeycomb fabric. The key to comfort while performing high-intensity activities in the heat of summer is protecting the skin from the sun and removing the uncomfortable sweat that comes with the territory. The Vantage Hoodie has been designed for this job by covering as much of the body as possible and providing the best technology in moisture-wicking fabrics. The hood and integrated face veil can be used not only to shield from the sun but also to provide a stealthier approach for close quarters stalking. Human skin is particularly bright to deer's eyes in low light situations. By covering yourself in Desolve camouflage you give yourself the best possible chance of remaining undetected. It also utilizes two high-performance fabrics in a body-mapped design to allow for maximum movement in the high stretch areas.

The CORE+ base layer is a thick, extra warm base for cold conditions. The thermal properties retain the body's core heat at the highest level in icy conditions and allow sweat to be wicked away quickly from the skin at a rapid rate. The compression weave is designed to cling tight to the body to help with muscle fatigue and rapid wicking. The body-mapped design has been athletically shaped, so the high wicking fabric can sit tight to the body in order to absorb and disperse as much sweat as possible, all the while allowing maximum movement in the high stretch areas. The warm nature and fast sweat distribution properties mean that the Core+ is a perfect base layer under warm outers in cold climates as well as a standalone layer in the mild parts of the day. The CORE+ should be used in temperatures ranging from -5C to 10C for maximum performance. For warmer conditions, the CORE range is recommended.
