Ledewomen's Alpha Elite

Female hunters looking for extra-warm, late-season whitetail protection no longer must settle for oversized men's cuts. The ScentLok Women's Alpha Elite Jacket and Bib are officially shipping and available at retail, delivering a specialized fit for the dedicated late-season outdoorswoman.

For years, the Alpha Elite Jacket and Bib have been built to stay waterproof, insulated, odor-adsorbing and designed to keep hunters warm and undetected in cold, wet conditions. The Alpha Elite's outer shell is a quiet, brushed polyester tricot with DryLok waterproof and breathable membrane designed for late-season hunting conditions, including rain, snow and wind, with full seam sealing to prevent leaks.

The next level of technology is ScentLok's Carbon Alloy, which combines treated carbon, activated carbon and zeolite to absorb odors emitted by your body. Carbon Alloy utilizes natural coconut shell carbon, as it has the largest internal surface area of any carbon on earth. This massive surface area promotes the adsorption of the broadest scent molecule range. It innately secures these molecules and holds them until you reactivate your gear in a household dryer.

Alpha Elite's third leg of technology is zoned Thinsulate insulation. 3M's pioneering insulation employs ultra-fine fibers, which allow for a higher density while remaining breathable and retaining warmth even when wet. Thinsulate absorbs less than 1 percent of its weight in water, outperforming down in damp conditions.

ScentLok zoned the insulation to favor more heat in the core and increased mobility in the extremities. The Alpha Elite Jacket sports 150g in the body and 100g in the sleeves and hood. The bib features 150g Thinsulate throughout. Both have warm and comfortable core liners composed of 175g fleece.

Key features specific to the Alpha Elite Jacket are its removable hood and potpourri of pockets. The hood's removability caters to midlayers that sport hoods, so you're not doubling-up, as well as the folks who just care to wear one. The hood is fully adjustable with a bonded bill for rain protection, too.

The Alpha Elite Jacket offers a dozen pockets, including eight on the exterior: two chest, two hand warmers, and four around the waist. Internally, you'll find two zippered chest pockets and couple lower ones for quick dumps.

Special bib features include ladder-style suspenders and hip-length zippers. They adjust with ease and secure firmly in place, aided by a silicone grip that holds on your shoulders. The side zippers provide easy and instant on and off with boots in play. Lastly, the total pocket package raises by five, the bib offering two waist, two cargo, and one on the backside.

#SundayGunday: Chiappa USA Rhino 60DS

On this week's #SudnayGunday, we’re checking out the Chiappa Rhino 60 DS. All it takes is once glance to tell this is not your granddad’s revolver. Chiappa has flipped the script on wheelguns quite literally, aligning the barrel with the bottommost chamber of the cylinder, rather than the top. This low bore axis makes the gun recoil directly back into the hand, rather than pulling the muzzle up and away from your grip. Learn more about it in this exclusive video.
