Built for late-season hunts when the mercury dips low, Elite Hunting Bibs, from Hot Shot Gear provide both windproof and waterproof protection from the elements. Boasting 120 grams of insulation, the bibs still manage to not sacrifice breathability for warmth, while sealed seams keep out rain and snow. Zippers on the front and along legs make it easier to get the bibs on and off, while an adjustable shoulder harness system yields a snug fit. Two handwarmer pockets zip to retain heat, while a zip-up rear pocket allows for the storage of smaller items.
For more information on these bibs, which come in Realtree Edge or Veil Cervidae, and would work great with Hot Shots new 3-in-1 Parka, check out hotshotgear.com. MSRP: $109.99

The Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 A.I. BE.S.T. is, put simply, on the fast track to being considered a waterfowling marvel. Standing for Advanced Impact technology, the SBE 3 A.I. shoots its shot with improved downrange results thanks to a very, very proprietary barrel technology that actually assists in energy retention for greater downrange velocity. Sounds crazy, right? That’s what I thought too; then I took the gun to Montana’s Bighorn River and had my mind blown.
