MORGAN, UT - New for 2009, in Browning's new Transitions Waterfowl line of apparel, are the Maxus Gore-Tex Jacket and Wing-Set Jacket that will give waterfowl hunters the most up-to-date technologies available in fabrics and construction to keep them warm, dry and comfortable.
The new Maxus Jacket brings the latest developments in design and technology to waterfowl hunting. Utilizing Gore-Tex fabrics and Gore Comfort Mapping technology, the Maxus Jacket greatly improves comfort by design, strategically placing different Gore-Tex fabrics in specific locations to maximize mobility and protection from the elements. Comfort Mapping breaks the human body into a map with different climatic zones, using rugged, warm Gore-Tex soft-shell fabric in areas requiring more protection such as shoulders, and lightweight Gore-Tex Paclite fabric where less weight and bulk are preferred and mobility must be maximized like in the lower torso and under the arms.
Both Gore-Tex soft shell and Gore-Tex Paclite are constructed from a new nylon fabric that offers low shine for better print quality and improved concealment. The Maxus Gore-Tex Jacket will be offered in Mossy Oak Duck Blind camo. A detachable hood, articulated elbow and Freedom Sleeve design are also featured. Call pockets, upper hand warmer pockets and lower pockets with hook-and-loop secured flaps provide ample storage. The Maxus Jacket is available in sizes S-3XL with a suggested retail price ranging from $370 - $402.
The new Wing-Set Jacket from Browning in the Transitions Waterfowl Protection layer category features soft-shell construction and weighs only 26 oz. The three-layer fabric combines a rugged nylon outer shell, waterproof, windproof and breathable Pre-Vent lamination and a warm inner fleece layer to provide warmth and protection over a very broad temperature range. Unlike other soft-shell jackets that claim to be waterproof, the Wing-Set jacket truly is with external taping on every seam. The Freedom Sleeve construction and articulated elbows allow unrestricted movement to swing and follow through on each shot.
The new Transitions Series Wing-Set Jacket features a detachable hood, two upper call pockets with zipper closures, two lower pockets with zipper closures and water-resistant, laminated cuffs with hook-and-loop closures. The Wing-Set Jacket is available in Mossy Oak Duck Blind in sizes S-3XL. The suggested retail price is $225 - $250.
