hey guys scott reekers here with
Eastmans' hunting journals and today i
am here in some of Wyoming's
high country and we are scouting for
mule deer and we wanted to take this
opportunity to use some of the new
clothing from Eberlestock and I'm
going to tell you about some of the
features of three of their pieces and
this is stuff that you can only
pre-order right now we're on the cutting
edge and I want to make sure that you
guys know exactly what you're getting
when you preorder this gear
I want to start with the afterburner pant
the afterburner pant is a mountain pant that
is going to be tough for all sorts of
hunting scenarios and it's perfect for
what we're doing here today as you can
see I'm getting done climbing a very
rocky steep slope and this pant has a
four-way stretch and it's covered with
what is labeled a DWR or durable water
repellent now say all this with a
four-way stretch you can see it's
stretchy and you're going to be able to
move it's got a gusseted midsection so
you're able to move and move well across
rough and hard to navigate country just
like this and you can see down by the
ankles you've got a material here that
is designed for when you bump your boots
together it's not gonna wear out I've
had pants split at the seam there that's
not going to happen with the afterburner
pants from eberlestock
you can see we've got some great pocket
design that is well-thought-out many
times with pockets they're just simply
slapped onto a pant and you don't know
where you're going to put things
Eberlestock thought of where are you going to
most be reaching for most of these
pieces well if you look you've got a
slanted pant pocket here where you can
put things like your wallet you can also
see this next zipper where you can get
things like your knife that you need
quick access to and want to be able to
retrieve quickly they're designed to
excel in all kinds of conditions and one
of the things that you do to make sure
that a pant can cross from that that
early season scouting trip all the way
to that mid-season point is you want to
be able to vent it Eberlestock built
a zippered vent in right here that
allows you to breathe through mesh so
you're going to be able to while you're
hiking get rid of that excess heat but
when it's time to sit down and glass in
a place like this with a great vantage
point you're gonna be able to close it
up and retain that heat that's necessary
for staying comfortable as a backcountry
hunter I've been a fan of vests for a
very long time so I was excited when
Eberlestock sent us this Bennett
Mountain vest the second piece that I
want to talk about today
now the Bennett Mountain vest is 100%
polyester as you can see I'm a big guy
and it's cut and it's comfortable and
it's going to fit it hugs in the right
places down by your hip where your hip
belt is going to go across you also have
large pockets that you can put pieces of
gear and equipment in the best part
about a vest is it's not quite a jacket
so it allows you to use it and stay warm
and control your temperature easily
while you're sitting on a vantage point
like this sometimes a wind picks up you
don't want to pull out your big puffy
jacket this is the perfect medium for
that and why it works so well for
retaining heat is on the interior there
is a fleece lining that is very
comfortable and works very well for this
setting now the Bruneau hoodie is designed
to protect you from the sun I'm up above
10,000 feet the sun beats you down here
I've gotten worse sunburns at 10,000
feet than I've ever gotten on any beach
anywhere and that's because you're
closer to the sun it's just a
mathematical equation when you get
closer it's gonna hit you harder this
has a 30 SPF protection that you can use
to cover the entirety of your upper body
this piece is built by eberlestock to be
and all-around performance piece it's
designed to fit just about any season
top to bottom got a base layer put it
over the top want to wear it next to
skin you can wear it next to skin need a
hoodie for a little more heat retention
or to protect your ears from that sun
pull the hoodie up and you can see it's
well designed it fits well you can also
see that you can cover up your hand a
lot of people don't think about that in
the warm weather when you've got your
glass up and when you're looking your
hands get sunburned I've had that happen
on more than one occasion Eberlestock
thought of that and they built
hand covering into their protection the
last thing I want to talk about
is where you can pre-order all of this
you can find it at eberlestock.com look
inside all their performance wear and
you can see it and I also want to make
sure that you take a look at all of the
camouflage options as well as the solid
color options that you can get
especially like things like the
afterburner pant you can wear them into
town all the way up to the top of the
mountain and be comfortable so make sure
