Hot Shot Gear has introduced the Camouflage Performance Fleece Hoodie. Designed to keep the wearer warm whether in the field or by the campfire, the garment sports an athletic cut, which allows it to be layered under a jacket or vest. Featuring 100% polyester performance fleece fabric, the Hoodie promises to deter burrs and withstand element. Two draw cords provide additional lining in the hood. A kangaroo-style pocket out front can hold small items, but most importantly provides an enclosed space to warm cold hands. For more information on the Performance Fleece Hoodie, which is available in Realtree Edge or Veil Cervidae, please visit hotshotgear.com. MSRP: $49.99
