BOZEMAN, Mont. (October 31, 2024) – SITKA Gear, renowned for its high-performance hunting apparel, introduces its new Alpha Fleece Collection, recreating traditional layers to endure rugged and unruly environments. Purposely designed for outdoorsmen who demand the best from their gear, this collection delivers lasting comfort and durability across all altitudes and seasons.
While fleece is a staple in many gear layering systems, traditional options often lack long-lasting durability. The Alpha Fleece Collection addresses this issue by incorporating a double-weave fleece combining classic comfort with durability. The tighter knit fleece limits snags, pilling, and fabric failures, while its four-way stretch ensures unrestricted movement during high-output climbs or maneuvering in a stand.
The Alpha Fleece fabrics are treated with Durable Water Repellent (DWR), shedding light rain and snow to enhance performance.This added feature sets it apart from traditional fleece, providing water resistance and functionality in changing conditions. Redefining the quintessential fleece layer, the Alpha Fleece ensures long-lasting versatility, making it a staple in any system.
