MUSKEGON, Mich. (November 19, 2024) – Western influence isn’t anything new. It’s why you see cowboy boots in a New York subway and cowboy hats in Michigan. There’s western influence in hunting, too. Mountain hiking and horseback riding western hunters are known for their lightweight and fitted but durable outerwear. It’s that environment, which inspired the birth of the TUO brand, too. And now, TUO has shared that western vibe with whitetail deer hunting. Welcome the Whitetail Nivor Jacket and Bib. |

“We knew whitetail would eventually be part of the product mix,” said TUO Marketing Director, Steve Allie. “TUO already had a killer western lineup, and Nivor is our first official move into whitetail hunting.” Additionally, TUO wanted something specific to late season hunting that still maintained a western DNA. “Key considerations were having an exceptional warmth to weight ratio,” continued Allie. “No bulk. Less physical weight. Something without any restriction of movement while maintaining fit and form. Nivor hits all those marks.” Nivor underwent exhaustive field testing as well, TUO collecting extensive feedback from staff and professional hunters. “With that input, we were able to strip away any bulk where insulation wasn’t needed, which led to zone insulation,” explained Allie. “Incorporating higher loft fabrics and our AeroGuard™ windproof membrane were also part of the product evolution.” |

The high-performance Nivor Jacket and Bib merges the best features of TUO’s western apparel with a focus on functionality when the temps drop later in the season. At the epicenter is Paralite™ synthetic insulation, strategically zoned with more in the core and less in the extremities and lower torso to reduce bulk. This thoughtful design enhances mobility, making it easier to draw your bow while keeping your core warm where it matters most. Paralite is a lightweight and breathable insulation that provides a higher fill power than similar weight polyester insulations, providing a lighter, warmer garment with less filling. |

Hidden within the Nivor Jacket and Bib’s silent 2-layer design is our AeroGuard™ windproof membrane, which provides exceptional heat retention and blocks cold winds while insulation and fabric package work in tandem, effectively muffling noise to ensure stealthy movement in the field. “It’s super quiet for those pin drop mornings in the whitetail woods,” said Allie. In keeping with the perfect placement of insulation, the fabric package follows suit with an ultra-quiet microberber fleece outer with a warm sherpa fleece lining for incredible warmth. To achieve great mobility the Nivor Jacket and Bib utilize a brushed tricot shell and nano-grid fleece lining for lighter-weight warmth while making it easier to draw back your bow and move in the field. |
|
|
Additionally, the Nivor Jacket and Bib are treated with Polygiene® StayFresh™ and OdorCrunch™ for superior odor management and features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish to shed light moisture and keep you dry. With optimal insulation, windproof protection, and essential whitetail hunting features, the Nivor Jacket ensures you stay warm, comfortable, and in the stand longer during those frigid late-season hunts. Polygiene StayFresh™ helps reduce odor from bacteria and OdorCrunch™ captures and inhibits odors allowing you to wear more and wash less. |
|
|
Specific to the Bibs, thoughtfully zoned insulation with dual-weight layers to minimize bulk in key areas like the extremities and upper torso, where your jacket overlaps the bibs. This design ensures enhanced mobility, making it easier to layer, sit, and move efficiently between locations. Moreover, generous hip-high leg zips allow for easy temperature regulation and make putting on and taking off the bibs effortless. |

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.
