Every element of this jacket has been designed with the hunter’s needs in mind. Dual ventilation pit zippers allow for quick temperature regulation during long uphill climbs or fast-paced stalks. Anatomically positioned chest and pocket zippers ensure that gear remains secure and accessible without disrupting movement or stealth. Its athletic fit provides comfort over extended wear and ensures mobility is never compromised when glassing, aiming, or manoeuvring through thick terrain.
The Hardscrabble Jacket also includes advanced weather-protective features that help hunters stay focused in the field. Dual waist cord locks and a fully adjustable storm hood create a secure seal against wind and rain, while Teflon Shield+ DWR technology repels water to keep you dry in sudden downpours. The ultra-quiet exterior fabric minimises noise, giving hunters the stealth advantage needed for close encounters. Reinforced with YKK zippers for long-term reliability, the jacket is built to perform season after season without failure.
This jacket exemplifies the philosophy behind Remlite’s range of ultralight hunting gear; dependable equipment should enhance the hunting experience, not hinder it. Designed for year-round use, the Hardscrabble Jacket has been tested in diverse conditions, from cold mornings in the alpine to damp, windy evenings in the bush. Hunters can trust it to deliver warmth, concealment, and flexibility whether they are stalking deer across open country, waiting out weather in dense cover, or navigating New Zealand’s steep and rugged landscapes.
The combination of warmth, weather resistance, and tactical silence makes the Hardscrabble Jacket a cornerstone of any serious hunting kit. It ensures you remain protected from the elements, comfortable through exertion, and silent when stealth is critical. For those committed to long days in the backcountry, it represents the ideal balance of performance and practicality.
