Best of SHOT show part 2, is really harder to narrow down than the first list. There are so many excellent products that finding the best is difficult. This list attempts to cover a variety or budgets and needs.
Sitka Gear – Sub Alpine apparel
I know I had Sitka in the first list, but this is so good I just had to include it also. Sitka set the standard years ago with their technology of turning clothing into gear. Their optifade technology that transforms the science of camouflage set the bar very high. For 2017, they pushed themselves to see where they need improvement. The SubAlpine is it. Designed more for the western hunter that is hunting in the timber, or below. It is the lightest material ever designed and geared for 50 yards or less in vegetative terrain. This pattern is certainly going to help hide the hunter. While it is not designed for use in the turkey woods specifically, I can certainly see how this pattern would work wonders in the early spring turkey woods as well. Available in all of its series, the SubAlpine is something to consider for 2017.
Yeti Ramblers in Color
The often copied and seldom matched Yeti Rambler is being reintroduced in some outstanding colors. In March, consumers should start to see the new colors available in all of the rambler line. From the Low boy, to the bottles, all of the ramblers will be offered in powder coated colors that will be received extremely well by all. The first colors offered will be the Sea Foam and Blue. These are excellent colors and are some of the most popular. Outdoorsmen and women will also have choices later in the summer when the Rambler line comes out in both black and olive.
Walls/10X Pro Series Clothing
Walls has long been a great line of outdoor clothing. Both in the work wear line and in the hunting line. Now new for 2017, Walls is offering their Pro Series of clothing for the Sportsmen and women. These high quality clothes are in a great price point for all of the offerings. The Pro Series will include early season, Mid-season and late season clothes for the hunter. Most will be offered in both Realtree and Mossyoak. Check with your local dealer for specific patterns.
Silynx Clarius Pro Light
When it comes to hearing protection and enhancement, Silynx Clarius Pro light is breaking down door and making converts to the light weight protection and enhancement at affordable prices. Most of the competition of this level of enhancement requires either muffs or hearing aid type batteries. Silynx Clarius Pro Light uses a single AAA battery with cords that wrap around your ear and stays put. The multiple insert tips make for a custom fit.
If you do not want the weight of the Light, then the recharge is available for 2017. This unit carries a rechargeable battery and significantly reduced weight. But providing ample time for most hunts on a single charge.
