For years, Blocker’s original Whitetail Pursuit Insulated Parka and Bib have been mainstay gear for late season hunters. Now, the apparel architects are upping the technical and performance ante with the new Whitetail Pursuit Elite Jacket and Bib.
Committed deer hunters know the biggest bucks are often bagged late in the season after the weekenders are gone. The challenge of course is combating the plunging temps and frequently foul weather associated with staying the woods until the bitter end. That’s where Blocker’s Whitetail Pursuit Elite enters the equation.
“It delivers the perfect balance of warmth and mobility,” said Steve Allie, Blocker Outdoors Marketing Director. “You have scent control and soft and silent fabric bundled with premium insulation to create a suit that’ll hunt 'til the last day of the season.”
What is that insulation? Sorona® Aura. It’s a partially plant-based, breathable, and lightweight insulation material designed for top-of-line gear. Sorona Aura insulation retains warmth effectively with less filling and weight compared to traditional insulations, making Whitetail Pursuit Elite less bulky and more comfortable and agile. Sorona Aura is also engineered to be breathable, helping regulate body temperature and wick moisture away, preventing overheating and clamminess. Sorona® Aura is also known to maintain its loft and shape wash after wash, ensuring lasting performance and comfort.
Smartly, Blocker also zone-mapped the insulation to further accommodate the balance of warmth and mobility. On the jacket, your torso, the body’s furnace, is guarded with 120g of Sorona Aura insulation, while the sleeves and hood boast a lighter 80g’s. The bibs are similarly zone-mapped with the front at 80g, back above the knee at 120g, and 80g below the knee.
Whitetail Pursuit Elite’s Cold Fusion Carbon™ is the next callout technology. The unrivaled carbon technology absorbs odors on an atomic scale, creating a powerful physical bond to provide you with the ultimate in stealth. The innovative process fuses large amounts of activated carbon directly into the fabric, maximizing the surface area available to adsorb odors. Unlike older methods that used carbon panels sewn into garments, Cold Fusion distributes the carbon more efficiently and evenly.
As a hunter sweats or produces scent, odor molecules are captured and held by the activated carbon, effectively reducing the wearer’s human odor profile.
Additionally, Whitetail Pursuit Elite features WindBlocker®. The high performance laminate system blocks the wind while allowing moisture and perspiration to escape from the inside, leaving you warm and comfortable when the wind comes up.
Externally, both the jacket and pants are constructed of an ultra-quiet brushed fleece shell with a DWR treatment to shed light moisture. Inside, a warm brushed fleece core pairs with smooth polyester-lined sleeves for easy layering without added bulk. Likewise, the bibs are polyester-lined for easy on and off, as well as layering.
The jacket also sports a removable and fitted 3-piece adjustable hood and long-nap fleece-lined hand muff pocket to keep your hands warm and ready when the shot finally comes.
