How does she determine what hunting apparel she should purchase among a sea of camouflage? A good place to start is by gleaning a clear understanding of the necessary performance features and fabrics to enhance comfort and success in the field. Continue Reading

Over the past few issue of Sportsman’s News, we have been covering the new APXg2™ system by Russell Outdoors. We have previously covered the L1-Layering system, which is your base layer, in July and in August we provided the technical information on L2-which is also a base layer but in a little heavier design for the cooler mornings. September was a thorough review of the Zephyr soft shell jacket and pant and the L5 rain suits, which is revolutionary rain gear at an affordable price. In October, we covered the heavier L4-Gale series which takes you right up to the edge of winter. This series completes the full layering system with the White Out jacket and pants, which will cover your needs for the most extreme cold temperatures.

Over the past few issue of Sportsman’s News, we have been covering the new APXg2™ system by Russell Outdoors. We covered the L1 base layer in July; and in August we provided the technical information on L2-which is also a base layer, but with strategically placed wind control panels. In this issue we will look at L3, which is the single layer soft shell jacket and pant along with L5 rain gear, which is one of the best rain suits ever developed. We decided to hold the Level 4 write up for October and November which is a heavier, lofted product and has more insulation for the colder months of hunting.
