Cabela’s Supertec (left): For those that like the idea of basic mesh, these garments are made of 100-percent open-mesh nylon. But they are better engineered than previous systems and much better looking. Think old-school mesh on steroids. Breathability won’t be an issue, and you’ll keep cooler longer. They are loose enough that wearing a layer underneath should be no problem, and the mesh isn’t so open as to allow a bunch of light to pass through.

Cabela’s Made in the Shade (middle): All I can say is, wow. This stuff is awesome. Talk about light weight. It feels like it’ll float away in a slight breeze. The fabric is a bit stiff, which results in some noise when rubbed together, but not enough to become an issue. Durability seems above par for such a warm-weather system. But the real kicker is the UPF rating; at 40+ this stuff will block 98 percent of harmful UV rays.

Cabela's Hunt Tech (right): Cabela’s took a cue from competitive runners to design these garments. The lightweight polyester fabric feels like silk on your skin but will certainly breathe a lot better in the hot spring sun. It’s also got an antimicrobial treatment to reduce odors.

Hardware Review: Bergara B-15 Squared CIMA CF

The Bergara B-14 Squared Cima CF design and weight split the difference between traditional hunting rifles and ultralight rigs. It does use carbon fiber, but it doesn’t try to be ultralight at the expense of skeletonizing or titanium.
