The NEW Alpine Jacket is an athletic-styled Jacket for the active hunter. Consisting of a perfectly blended 4-way stretch 96% polyester/4% spandex exterior fabric coated with a reliable DWR finish and bonded with a low-pro grid fleece interior, this Jacket can carry you through the early-season in a variety of temps and terrains no matter where you hunt. A simplistic yet functional and reliable design: three total zippered pockets to protect your valuables, an adjustable drawcord waistband to keep the wind at bay and no-hood styling for unrestricted vision and hearing. Estimated temp range: 50-70 degrees, lower with layers*.
* Temp ranges are ESTIMATED. Many factors play into every situation like wind, humidity, precipitation, location, time of year and individual preferences.
This jacket is put together very well. The seems are sewn tight and multiple stitched. Sleeves are long enough and there is no bind across the shoulders while drawing a bow. The material is quiet and flexible which is great for bowhunting. Size is pretty spot on. I normally wear a large in a jacket so ordered a large. It’s a smidge snug when first put on but after about 10 minutes of wearing it settled in to a perfect fit. I guess it’s like anything new or first worn, takes a bit to work the fibers tight and fit right. The zipper is solid and well sewn too. I think the light weight fleece lining might be a little to warm for Deep South opener but that’s pretty much the case with anything you wear down here. I recommend this jacket to anyone wanting a quality product that fits right and should be a great addition when the temp gets do to about 60 or so. Original Recipe on 29th Aug 2020
This jacket is going to be just what the Dr ordered for those early season mornings when the dew sets and there's just a chill in the air. In a light rain with the DWR coating that Predator is known to put on other series, it will repel light rain too. Size runs pretty much true to fit. I wear a large and ordered a large, fit is spot on with just enough room for a tee shirt. I test fit the stuff-ability into the back pack and it fits nicely and gives no noticeable weight. I am looking forward to taking this along on the mornings that are a touch cooler but not cool enough to warrant a heavier option. The outer material is going to be way more snag resistant than the Adrenaline series which i have now. This will be a great replacement to that series. Good job Predator and to Jen as well for knowing the sizes and how they fit. Mark T. on 19th Aug 2020
