The new SXS Shooting Vest has a double shooting-patch design to accommodate both right- and left-hand shooters. Polyester microSuede® shooting patches give a smooth unique look to this new mesh shooting vest from Browning.

REACTAR™ pad pockets allow the shooters to use Browning's effective REACTAR pad (REcoil ACTion ARestor) that absorbs recoil on the inside of the vest. It uses patented Beta Gel, which reduces peak recoil up to 49 percent and is only 8.5mm thick (pad sold separately).

ColdAvenger Hunter Face Mask In Camo

Designed with the hunter in mind, Talus Outdoor Industries has introduced the ColdAvenger Hunter made with Predator brown deception camouflage. With the same ventilation technology as the ColdAvenger Classic, the newly designed ColdAvenger Hunter features a soft, yet heavyweight, fleece camouflage material.

The mask provides hunters and outdoors people with the ultimate cold-weather breathing protection, and its wind-resistant, water shedding and insulating fabric characteristics make it an essential hunting accessory.

The Talus ColdAvenger Hunter is designed for a variety of winter outdoor activities where deception and protection from cold is essential. The face piece is made of

medical-grade plasticizer-free polyurethane selected for its safety, microbial resistance, and overall cold-weather endurance.

The medical-grade polyurethane nose and mouth chamber mixes inhaled cold air with exhaled warm air to achieve a dynamic balance of warmth and humidity while keeping moisture away from the face. The Talus ColdAvenger’s patent-pending ventilation technology actually keeps temperatures inside the mask 40°– 60°F higher than outside air.

The Predator fabric is a soft and ultra-quiet 380-gram heavyweight fleece that has a comfortable stretch to fit the face, ears, and neck. The result is a state-of-the-art product that keeps your face warm and dry while helping to humidify inhaled cold air and allowing you to breathe freely.

The cold-weather face mask comes in a variety of sizes and can be purchased online at www.talusoutdoortech.com. The camouflage mask retails for $59.95 and is currently offered in one color — brown deception. With its earth-toned colors and a unique three-dimensional pattern, the Predator Brown Deception fabric works well in any terrain.
