Bringing Blocker Outdoors® performance to the gray skies and steady rain waterfowl hunters live for, at a price geared for the everyday hunter
Muskegon, MI – Blocker Outdoors has been outfitting hunters since 1998, building a name on hardworking big-game apparel trusted in the field for 26 years. That same standard now shows up in the Flyway Insulated Jacket and Bib, designed for those cherished cold, wet mornings when birds are on the move.
Blocker Outdoors didn't get here by accident, either. The Finisher Turkey Series launched a few years back as a focused answer for spring turkey hunters, and it didn't stay small for long. Loyal customers built entire turkey-season kits around it, and Blocker has kept expanding the line year after year, from packs to pants to a heritage camo revival hunters still talk about.
That same standard shows up in the new Flyway line, too. Blocker didn't chase a trend into the duck blind. It brought the same construction and attention to detail that's built its reputation everywhere else.
"Honestly, this one's overdue," said Steve Allie, Marketing Director for NEXUS Outdoors. "We build gear that holds up, and it was only a matter of time before that showed up in the duck blind. Flyway gets it there, and it's a good one."
Cold, wet mornings are just part of the deal in a duck blind, and most hunters wouldn't trade them for anything. What shouldn't be part of the deal is fighting your gear on top of it. The Flyway Jacket and Bib are built to take the discomfort out of those conditions, so the only thing on your mind is the birds working the decoys, starting with what's keeping the water out in the first place.
RainBlocker: Built to Keep Water Where It Belongs
At the core of both pieces is a RainBlocker® waterproof 10K/10K membrane, fully taped at every seam. The 10K rating means the fabric can withstand serious water pressure without leaking through, while staying breathable enough that a hunter isn't trading rain protection for a sweat-soaked base layer.
Taped seams close off the one place untreated stitching always leaks first, so the whole garment works as one sealed system instead of a fabric that's only as waterproof as its weakest seam.
Warmth That Works, Details That Disappear
The Jacket runs 120 grams of insulation through the body and 80 grams in the hood and sleeves, holding heat where a hunter needs it most without adding bulk. The honeycomb polyester shell isn't just a name on a spec sheet, either. Look close and the texture is genuinely woven into the fabric, and it's what keeps movement quiet in the blind.
That same attention to detail shows up in the small things: an adjustable tab at each cuff seals out cold air over a glove, a snap at the hem locks the fit down tight, and the zippered chest pocket is cut deep enough to carry a phone in a case without a bulge or a fight with the zipper.
"We didn't want to just put our name on a waterfowl jacket and call it done," Allie said. "Waterfowl hunters sit still in the worst conditions of the season, so the bar for staying dry and warm is higher than almost anywhere else in hunting. We built the Flyway line to meet that bar, down to the stitching."
Built to Match, Built to Move
The Bib carries the same RainBlocker protection and 120 grams of insulation, with a smooth lining that slides easily over base layers, even before sunrise. Full-length side zippers make it simple to pull the Bib on and off over boots, angled thigh pockets keep gear within reach, and adjustable elastic suspenders round out the fit. Both pieces carry the same tailored, athletic cut that's defined Blocker's apparel for years, not the boxy, sack-like fit that's common in budget waterfowl gear.
"Nobody quits a hunt because of their jacket," Allie added. "They quit because they're cold and wet from the waist down. That's the half of the equation the Bib is built to solve."
Fit That Doesn't Get in the Way
Fit isn't an afterthought at Blocker, either. It's something the brand tests and refines on every piece it designs, and the Flyway Jacket and Bib both got that same treatment. The range of motion on each is excellent, whether you're hiking into the marsh or crouched low in the blind waiting on a flock to commit. Nothing binds, nothing rides up, nothing fights you when you finally do have to move fast, and that includes raising and swinging the barrel.
Both pieces are available now in Mossy Oak Bottomland, a pattern developed for the flooded timber and marsh environments where waterfowl hunters spend their season. At $149 each, the Flyway Jacket and Bib deliver on that same Blocker standard once again — the kind of value that makes the price look like a typo.
