With the Pyre Jacket and Bibs, Badlands is offering hunters a blend of mobility and warmth to help them stay in the field longer this season. To achieve this in their Bibs, Badlands uses PrimaLoft Silver insulation under a fleece-like lining to lock in heat, combined with articulated knees and easy-on side zippers to leave movement unencumbered. Additionally, pockets have been lined with fleece to keep hands warm and contents quiet. 



The Pyre Jacket similarly uses PrimaLoft Silver insulation, while compressible sleeves quietly allow for a wide range of motion. Should one find oneself in a tree-stand, the Pyre Jacket has a built in tree-stand harness tether port positioned right at the base of the hood. Finally, the jacket features an interior rangefinder pocket, with a tether for keeping one's rangefinder from tumbling to the ground. 


Both the Pyre Jacket and Bibs are available in Badlands Approach and Approach FX camouflage patterns, and are covered by the company's unconditional lifetume warranty. For more information, please visit badlandspacks.com. MSRP: $359.99-$379.99

Winchester’s new Supreme Long Range ammo, loaded with the company’s new BC Max bullet, was built to drop game at distance. The BC Max bullet is a heavy-for-caliber, extended-boattail projectile with a high BC and a large-diameter, heat-resistant polymer tip to initiate devastating terminal performance at extended ranges. It’s a tack-driving combo.
