TECHNOLOGY
POLYGIENE
Polygiene Odor Control Technology is a natural fit for hunting. By permanently treating fabrics with low concentrations of silver salt, which has inherent antimicrobial properties and is naturally present in water, Polygiene safely eliminates the ability for bacteria to grow and effectively neutralizes odor.
YKK ZIPPERS
Sitka Gear uses premium YKK Zippers across their product line for their reliability, durability, weather resistance, and quiet operation. They also print many of their zippers with GORE OPTIFADE Concealment for added stealth.
GORE OPTIFADE CONCEALMENT
Traditional mimicry patterns based on human vision are designed to look like a specific type of vegetation or terrain. GORE OPTIFADE Concealment is the only scientifically proven concealment pattern based on animal vision to optically fade a hunter into their surroundings. By using advanced blends of micro and macro patterns to fool animal vision rather than mimic a particular shape, GORE OPTIFADE Concealment is more versatile and more effective at getting hunters close to game.
SITKA DESIGN NOTES
Hunters have been looking for a durable lighter-weight insulation piece to get them through the rigors of waterfowl season. Sitka's approach was to use the combination of loftfleece for the interior to deliver core-warmth and superior abrasion resistance technology on the exterior for ultimate durability. A DWR finish provides water resistance from light precipitation that won't wet-out the face fabric. The high collar delivers warmth and shelter from the wind while the half-zip design won't interfere with ySitka's shots when the birds are in sight.
