MUSKEGON, Mich. (October 8, 2025) – Welcome the follow-up to Whitewater Fishing’s recently released Thermoclyne Jacket, the new Thermoclyne Vest. “It’s especially lightweight and free of bulk through expert design and the extraordinary insulation we use. So, it wears as warm and comfortable on the outside as it does in a layering system,” said Whitewater Fishing Marketing Director, Steve Allie. |

The insulation on tap is Sonora® Aura, which Whitewater thermally-mapped to increase insulation in key areas, while intelligently reducing it in others. What is Sorona Aura? Available exclusively in upscale products, it’s a partially plant-based, breathable, and lightweight insulation material designed for apparel such as jackets, pants, gloves, and hats. Sorona Aura insulation retains warmth effectively with less filling and weight compared to traditional insulations, making garments less bulky and more comfortable for active outdoor use. It’s also engineered to be breathable, helping regulate body temperature and wick moisture away, thus preventing overheating and clamminess while active on the water. Garments insulated with Sorona® Aura are also known to maintain their loft and shape wash after wash, ensuring lasting performance and comfort. |

The Thermoclyne Vest’s outer shell is composed of a durable but smooth 100% nylon shell with DWR (durable water repellant) treatment and measurable wind protection. The distinctive treatment both sheds moisture and lessens staining. Additionally, Polygiene® StayFresh keeps things fresh, even after long days on the water. 100% safe, Polygiene StayFresh inhibits bacteria that cause unpleasant odors, allowing fabrics to retain freshness even during heavy use or sweaty conditions. Sweat itself is usually odorless, but bacteria feed on it and cause the smell. Polygiene technology makes it impossible for these bacteria to multiply by embedding silver chloride – a naturally occurring salt – in the fabric. The freshness feature is permanent, too, lasting for the lifetime of the product. |

Warmth Through Loft ScentLok’s new BE:1 Puffy Jacket and Pant bring quality and field performance to a popular style MUSKEGON, Mich. (June 24, 2026) – Some things just look warm. Regrettably, a percentage of those things fail to live up to their appearances. Such is often the case with outerwear. More specifically, outerwear for hunting. Consider the puffy jacket. You can literally slide into one online for under $40. The Photoshopped Ai model sure looks svelte and comfy, but that unrecognizable brand is a little wonky. Unpronounceable, really. Never seen it before. And why is it only available from international ecommerce juggernauts? Because it’s crap. The polar opposite is true when new hunting outerwear drops from a legacy manufacturer, like ScentLok. And so it is with their new BE:1 Puffy Jacket and Pant. Dark Slate NEW Realtree XT-3 Delivering on-demand warmth, the BE:1 Jacket and Pant are extraordinarily comfortable and sporty looking to boot. Typically, ScentLok product descriptions open with the company’s “fabric-first” promise, but in this case, we’re diving into the insulation first. The outerwear duo’s Sorona® Aura insulation delivers higher fill power than similar weight polyester insulations, providing a lighter, warmer garment with less filling, which allows for greater packability. Made from the Sorona polymer, a performance fiber that is about 37% plant‑based rather than fully petroleum‑derived, Sorona Aura traps air while remaining thin and flexible and less bulky than traditional synthetic fills. It’s also breathable, designed to let moisture vapor easily escape, helping regulate body temperature and reduce that awful clammy feeling during active use. Sorona Aura also maintains its loft wash after wash. ScentLok takes another step by thermal-mapping the insulation into particular zones. In the BE:1 Puffy Jacket, for example, the chest area – the body’s furnace – contains 80g of Sorona Aura, while the arm insulation is throttled back to 60g to advance mobility. The BE:1 Puffy Pant features 60g of insulation throughout. The final insulation related trait is the baffling. Those sewn seams with individual insulation pockets aren’t for style-points only – they hold the insulation in place, defying gravity and time. Additionally, baffling promotes lofting, which means more warm air is captured. Despite the luscious and lofty insulation, the BE:1 Jacket and Pant are surprisingly packable. “They easily store in a field bag or daypack, so you can carry them into the field for a sit or take them off if the weather heats up,” said Allie. To thwart the olfactory senses of big game, the BE:1 Puffy Jacket and Pant include ScentLok’s Carbon Alloy® scent control technology. Carbon Alloy combines treated carbon, activated carbon, and zeolite to absorb odors emitted by your body. Carbon Alloy utilizes natural coconut shell carbon, as it has the largest internal surface area of any carbon on earth. This massive surface area promotes the adsorption of the broadest scent molecule range. It innately secures these molecules and holds them until you reactivate your gear in a household dryer. The BE:1 Puffy Jacket and Pant are structured of a durable, ripstop nylon outer fabric with soft peached lining – the lining feels easy on the skin and welcomes layering like butter. The shell is also DWR treated to help shed moisture and resist staining. The elbows are articulated for improved fit and mobility. Articulation, or pre-curvature, is a design feature where the fabric at the elbow is shaped and seamed to match the natural bend of the arm. The jacket also features a high-neck for added wind protection and an intelligently designed hood. The hood is constructed of three unique fabric patterns for better sculpting and hold, even while turning from side to side. Moreover, the hood is purposely cut to position behind your eye for better peripheral vision. The BE:1 Puffy Jacket also offers five strategically placed pockets for securing essentials and an adjustable waist to lock in heat and customize fit. The matching pants include specialty features as well, like invisible zippers on the center front fly and pair of front waist pockets. An internal drawcord can be tied on the outside or inside of the waistband. And 18-inch side seam zippers yield easy donning and doffing in the field, boots on.
