SITKA Men's Traverse Zip-T Hunting Pullover, Optifade Subalpine, XL

Product Description SITKA GEAR MEN'S TRAVERSE ZIP-T ABRASION-RESISTANT MID-LAYER CAMO LONG SLEEVE HUNTING PULLOVER: TheTraverse Zip-T is a versatile abrasion-resistant layer. Wear it as an outerwear piece on milder days or as a mid-layer when the temps drop. A durable knit outer face shields a soft fleece backer that traps warm air, keeping you comfortable from the elements. Half-zip pullover for easy on/off, with a zippered chest pocket for quick storage. WHY WE MADE THIS: We saw a need for an abrasion-resistant mid-layer that could be worn as a durable standalone outerwear layer in mild temps yet still be layered into a system when the weather got cold. For the Traverse Zip-T, we chose a high-loft fleece for its higher warmth-to-weight ratio and its ability to wick moisture and dry quickly. The knit outer face delivers the durability needed for this to be worn consistently as an outer layer in early-to-mid-season conditions.

Specifications: Technology: Four-way stretch polyester/Lycra Weight: 0.76 pounds Optifade Concealment System Optifade camouflage from Gore is the first and only concealment system ever scientifically designed around the way a hunter's prey views the world. It's the only concealment system to combine a symmetry-disrupting macro-pattern with a fractal-geometry-based micro-pattern, designed to become nothing in the eyes of prey at engagement ranges of 20 meters and beyond. Macro-Patterns and Micro-Patterns The human body has what is known as a signature, made up of identifiable lines and obvious symmetry that is easily recognized by humans and particularly by their prey. By interrupting those lines and the body's symmetry with a macro-pattern of light and dark blobs and streaks, immediate identification is disrupted. But nature has more than the lights and darks that make up the positive and negative shapes in the world around us. Fine texture defines our world. Therefore, overlaid on the macro-pattern is a fractal-geometry-based micro-pattern. Product Care: Wash: Machine wash warm (104 degrees F). Powder or liquid detergent. No fabric softener. Follow manufacturer's instructions. Dry-clean: If professionally dry-cleaned, request clear, distilled solvent rinse and a spray repellent. Follow manufacturer's instructions. Iron: Steam-iron warm, placing a towel or cloth between the garment and the iron. There is no need to iron the garment until it is completely dry. Bleach: No chlorine bleach. It may damage your garment. Dry: Tumble-dry warm. The heat from the dryer will help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) treatment on your garment's outer fabric. Water-repellent treatment: Gore recommends applying a topical water repellency restorative (DWR treatment) for outdoor fabrics, available at your local outdoor retailer. Wash-in treatments are not recommended, as they can affect the garment's breathability. Stain removal: Use a pre-wash treatment such as Shout or Spray 'n Wash, following the manufacturer's instructions. Rinse well.
