L-3 MID-HEAVY FLEECE JACKET

This is one comfortable and well-designed hunting jacket. In fact, it’s so comfortable and warm that I often wear mine in the fall and winter when I’m not out hunting. Not only is the brushed fleece exterior on this jacket quiet, it is also windproof and water repellent. Unlike other fleeces I own, I’ve found this Thacha jacket to be burr resistant while spot-and-stalk hunting. It has two zippered waist pockets, two upper chest pockets, one zippered and the other an easy access magnetic closure along with internal pockets to help carry and secure dad’s deer hunting accessories. To further keep the cold out it has an adjustable hood and elastic cuffs at the wrists. For safety, the jacket also has a back slit to allow dad to use a safety harness if sitting in a tree stand. They’re available in Realtree Excape and Legacy patterns.
