I have been chasing whitetails in the northeast for 47+ years, and have always used surplus military, or ScentLok gear. However, now I am a changed man.
Do not get me wrong, ScentLok makes excellent gear, and their scent control is second to none, but there are enough other products on the market I can use for that aspect of my hunts.
I invested in First Lite this year simply for a change of pace. I am so glad I did! Their Catalyst system is touted for mid-season, but this year, it got me through to closing day. Now, something rarely talked about is fit and finish in hunting gear. As I get older, this becomes as much a priority as warmth come the mid to late season.
First Lite gear fits like it was made just for you. Their warmth to weight ratio is top of the mark, and I am now a converted First Lite lover, advocate, fan! You want the best, go and get some First Lite gear!
