OPTIFADE SUBALPINE
Designed for stalking and ambushing ungulates from ground level in tree-covered and vegetated terrain. Subalpine is optimized for engagement ranges of 50 yards and less.
Environment: Vegetated Terrain
Scenario: Ground Ambush, Spot & Stalk
OPTIFADE OPEN COUNTRY
Scientifically optimized for engagement ranges of 40 yards and beyond at ground level in rocky terrain above the timberline. The Open Country pattern uses the larger neutral areas of the pattern (macro pattern) that are more critical to concealment at greater engagement ranges.
Environment: Open Terrain
Scenario: Spot & Stalk
TECHNOLOGY
POLARTEC
Stika Gear uses Polartec fabrics in specific applications requiring insulation that maximizes lightweight breathability and weather resistance. Polartec Alpha active insulation features an extremely breathable, fast drying and highly compressible synthetic fabric that regulates core body temperatures during both dynamic and static activities, reducing the need to shed or add layers throughout a hunt.
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.
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
Sitka Gear found nothing existed betwfleece layer and loft insulation that met the demands of active cold-weather pursuits. Sitka's solution was to create a high-performance insulating mid-layer with superior breathability for active pursuits. Constructed with a DWR-treated durable nylon face, the Kelvin Active Hoody can be worn as an outer layer in mild conditions or as a breathable, insulating mid-layer in the late season.
