Women Need Warm Too

I know it s a little early to start thinking about fall and winter hunting season again, but it will be here before you know it, and it pays to be prepared. If you spend a lot of time calling turkeys, glassing for Coues, or even sitting in a blind trying for that perfect photo, you know how cold you can get when you re just sitting still.

A lot of hunting jackets are made for men, which means that the shoulders are way too big, and the sleeves are usually much too long for us ladies. And, if your clothes don t fit, they can interfere with mounting your gun or even get you tangled up in brush.

Prois Hunting Apparel has a new high-performance Pro-Edition Pullover that is just perfect for any outdoorswoman. It s made with Prois three-ply Pro-Edition fabric with a soft tricot exterior, bonded wind-stopping laminate and cozy microfleece for high-performance comfort.

Every now and then a girl just has to move a little to keep the circulation going, and this pullover won t rattle and crackle and give your position away.

As all of Pr is innovative apparel, the Pr is Pro-Edition Pullover is designed by and for serious female hunters, with a wide range of unique features tailored accordingly. Its complex, compressed fabric eliminates bulk while enhancing thermoregulation, yet is built with plenty of room for layering.

Plus, this carefully crafted pullover features Pr is exclusive scapular drop pocket across the shoulder blades, housing activated hand warmers, to ease those long, chilly hours in a blind or leaning against a stump waiting for the perfect tom.

The Pr is Pro-Edition Pullover is available in Realtree AP HD and Advantage Max-1 HD to keep you concealed while providing warmth and ease of movement. There are even built-in thumbholes in the cuffs. It s warm enough to keep off the chill of even the longest day in the field, but with a low enough profile to pack easily into a waist or daypack when the weather or the hunt heats up.

The ingenious design even boasts a deep lumbar compartment across the lower back to hold soft goods or other accessories.

The Pr is Pro-Edition Pullover comes in a wide range of sizes from XS through XL, to provide a perfect fit for hunters of any size, and gives a much-needed edge in any environment. And, like all Pr is gear, it s proudly manufactured in the U.S.A.

Keeping Track Of Fido

If you use a radio collar on your hunting dog, you know what a hassle it can be to keep the transmitter handy without worrying about dropping or losing it. Those pockets in your hunting vest are dandy, but if you re going over a barbed wire fence in hot pursuit of a quail, it s easy for the transmitter to slip out unnoticed, never to be seen again.

The solution is the new Gear Keeper Dog Training Transmitter Retractor. These are the same guys who make those awesome tool retractors for fly-fishermen, so they have plenty of experience. The Transmitter Retractor is compact, but the built in spring-loaded cable gives you up to 30 inches of extension and nine ounces of retraction force.

It comes with three innovative mounting options in one system: the Snap-Clip Mount, to attach to any D-ring, belt-loop, or zipper-pull, the Velcro Strap Mount, to securely wrap and cinch around any loop, belt or strap, and the Threaded Stud Mount, which easily penetrates tough fabric or webbing.

Plus, this new system is saltwater proof and self-flushing, so it will be a tough and loyal companion to you and your dog in the field for many seasons to come.
