"He truly was a monarch, a king of his domain, avoiding predators, surviving harsh winters, and staying just far enough away from local hunters"

Optiwhere?

GORE's new Optifade camo disappears here in this high alpine setting in Nevada...prime time Mule Deer country. Shot at 1:1, this is Optifade at 50 yards.

For this difficult shot, David Brinker sat absolutely motionless. It was incredible to see male modeling like this in person. Not quit "ready position", but very close. The comfort his Sitka Gear provided in the 10 degree temperatures allowed him to hold this position for hours.

 
The Dutch Oven and Ardica Technologies

(3 Comments)



Although this was a hack job of filming, it gives you an idea of the heat that the new Ardica enabled Sitka Dutch Oven vest puts out. PK Hart, Greg Novelo from Ardica, and I spent the day 20 miles of Lake Tahoe, capturing some images with a FLIR (forward looking infra red) camera. Built to survey heat loss in buildings or leaks that are unseen by the naked eye, this $40 thousand camera was very a blast to use.

Sitka Kelvin Jacket

Sitka Kelvin Jacket



Sitka is rounding out it's line this year with the addition of new insulation pieces to keep your core warm.  The Kelvin Jacket and Vest incorporate lightweight and packable PrimaLoft One insulation for an extreme heat-to-weight ratio.

The Kelvin pieces are designed to be layered under one of Sitka's soft or hard shell pieces.  PrimaLoft insulation is a superior synthetic loft  material that holds in maximum heat with minimal weight.  This is what you want for hunting in the coldest temperature or stand hunting.

Kelvin will be available to consumers in June 2009 in Mothwing Mountain Mimicry camouflage pattern and the new Gore OPTIFADE Concealment Technology, the only pattern designed according to how deer and other big game animal vision works. Available in sizes S-3XL.

The Kelvin Jacket features two chest pockets, articulated arms and an internal waist cinch to trap core heat. Retail camo $199, retail solid $179.

The Kelvin Vest features two hand pockets, a cinched neckline and internal waist cinch.  Retail camo $149, retail solid $129.

Where Can I buy Sitka Gear?

See the Dealer Locator on our website to find a Sitka dealer nearest you.  If you cannot find a dealer, two of our largest online dealers are Cabela's and Schnee's. The new products for 2009 will be available in June.

 
Meeting someone famous

PK and I spent Sunday filming with Greg Nevolo from Ardica Technologies, using an Infrared camera to capture all the heat that our new Dutch Oven vest was pumping out with the new Ardica Power System. When we were done, we ran into someone famous. You never know what's around the corner. Keep your eyes open.

Always.
