Cabela’s is releasing their new ColorPhase camo technology Fall of this year. Using rapid-change, temperature-activated dyes, ColorPhase is camo that’s green when it’s warm and brown when it’s cold. The change hits when external temperatures hit approximately 65°F, although factors such as body heat, sunlight, moisture, and wind can affect the process. It’ll be available in a limited number of garments in Cabela’s new Zonz Woodlands and Zonz Western patterns.
The Wilderness came up with the Wilderness Hunting Vest as a lighter, more versatile alternative to their Wilderness Hunting Shirt. Made from 50/50 NyCo MultiCam fabric, the vest features dual 5″x7″ flat chest pockets and dual 6″x7″ bellowed hip pockets, all with Velcro-closure flaps. For an additional fee, the vest can further be customized with 6 and 7-slot Velcro shotshell holders, a rear game bag, and 3x size extenders, allowing the vest to be open while still secured for better ventilation or fitting over bulky winter clothing (custom options seen above).
