Mule Deer Hunting Gear List

Best Use: All Conditions The ULTRA Merino 120 LT answers OutdoorGear’s never-ending challenge of reducing weight, while improving durability. OutdoorGear partnered with Nuyarn® to engineer merino wool sourced from New Zealand that was lighter than the 125 g/m² predecessor, yet stronger. Merino wool as a natural fiber excels at thermoregulation and odor resistance, which are critical for long-duration hunts. Without sacrificing performance or comfort of the natural softness from the 17.5-micron fiber, the new 120 g/m² fabric uses a thicker nylon yarn core through Nuyarn technology, creating higher dimensional stability, improved regain, and added durability. The result is the lightest and toughest in the industry.

Best Use: All Conditions Whether it’s over the course of an entire season, or just one day of hunting, the all-new Precision Hunter Vest comfortably scales up or down with your layering system—solving the problems of typical one-size-fits-all hunter orange vests. While layered up in the cold early morning, use the extended strap with magnetic buckle to fit over insulated outer layers. As the day warms up and layers come off, wear it zipped up and streamlined to comfortably fit over a single base layer, without excess bulk. Features include high-stretch mesh side panels for added versatility and comfort, and zippered hand pockets for secure and convenient storage. In addition, the vest may be worn under or over a bino harness using the extended strap. Its Blaze Orange color and total square inches satisfies the legal requirements in most states.

Best Use: All Conditions The ½ zip hooded design allows for added heat release and ventilation while reinforced thumb holes keep the sleeves in place when adding a layer. The PRO Merino is a great choice for the hunters needing a versatile hardwearing shirt that is useful in a wide range of conditions. PRO Merino is the result of years of development with TMC and a breakthrough in mid-layer technology. The dual-layer knit construction positions 17.5-micron Nuyarn Merino next-to-skin with a quick drying, durable polyester eyelet outer face. The Nuyarn wicks moisture away from the skin and it passes through to the surface of the Polyester. The Polyester distributes the moisture over its surface, while the eyelet construction speeds the process and encourages airflow within the fabric. This moisture management is a mechanical process, and results in a piece that absorbs, disperses, and evaporates moisture 4x faster than pure merino or comparable weight blends.

Best Use: Active Cold Conditions The Axis Hybrid Jacket and Pant will redefine comfort and performance for the active late-season hunter. The Axis Hybrid series breaks the paradigm of restrictive and heavy late-season hunting clothing, and provides the best performance we can design into these critically important pieces of your layering system. The Axis features an entirely new Toray high-stretch, fleece-backed fabric, enhanced wind resistance through bonding technology, and strategic hybrid waterproof construction panelized in critical areas to protect from melting snow and wet ground. This hybrid jacket will protect you from the elements, while providing enough breathability to keep you from wetting out from the inside.

Best Use: All Conditions The Kutana Stretch Woven pant is a lightweight pant with enhanced pick and abrasion resistance that can handle unforgiving dense brush and rocky terrain. Toray Primeflex Nylon fabric boasts incredible tear strength and durability, allowing us to build a pant much tougher than other products in its weight class. Most stretch nylons use spandex, which absorbs water and breaks down over time, while Toray stretch nylons gain stretch from its fabric structure, eliminating spandex for better performance and life expectancy. Designed for early-to-mid-season hunts, the fit allows room for a base layer underneath in the cold, while zip hip vents provide ventilation for warmer conditions. Finished with Toray K-DWR to repel moisture, these pants sit perfectly between our Tiburon and Attack Pants.
