The Early Season Subalpine system is designed to withstand the variable conditions experienced above treeline during late summer hunts.
Whether sitting under the scorching sun of an alpine basin or riding out a flash afternoon storm, this system utilizes fabrics engineered to deliver maximum breathability and moisture transfer to keep you cool and dry without sacrificing durability. Lightweight, packable layering options allow the system to adapt as the conditions change so you are always protected from the elements of desolate environments.
Our GORE™ OPTIFADE™ Concealment Open Country technology is optimized for backcountry hunters of elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep, mountain goats and other ungulates in alpine environments. The concealment pattern breaks up the appearance of the human form against the backdrop of alpine landscapes of rocks, brush, and scattered trees and is optimized for a ground level engagement range of 40 yards and beyond.
