TUO Curates Specialized Turkey Hunting Collection |
|
Macro-disruption and layering science synthesized for North American spring dominance |
|
MUSKEGON, Mich. (March 11, 2026) – Turkey hunting is a game of millimeters and micro-movements, where success is dictated by the mobility and concealment of a dedicated predator, the hunter. For the 2026 spring season, TUO® has architected a technical system specifically curated to meet the demands of the elite turkey hunter. While engineered for maximum versatility, the TUO ecosystem has developed a dominant following across North America—particularly in regions where the early season isn’t defined by green leaves and lilac blooms, but by the high-contrast skeletal timber and grey-scale of the early spring woods. |

|
Utilizing the sovereign Verse™ pattern, this vetted collection is designed to shatter the human silhouette in unforgiving, low-cover environments. This isn’t just a gear list – it is a tactical system for the hunter who crawls, climbs, and out-maneuvers. |
|
|
Kinetic Merino Hoodie System | The Foundation Next-to-skin performance is the heartbeat of the TUO system. The Kinetic Merino 250 Hoodie provides midweight, 250g thermal regulation for the freezing damp of early-season mornings, offering natural odor suppression and explosive stretch. As the thermal ceiling rises, the Kinetic Merino 150 Hoodie serves as the high-breathability foundation, managing moisture to keep the hunter focused when the season heats up. |
|
|
Vision Hybrid Jacket | Zoned Thermal Control For early-season mornings where temperatures peak in the 40s, the Vision Hybrid Jacket is the specialized solution. By utilizing 80 grams of zoned insulation through the core while leaving high-movement areas uninsulated, TUO eliminates the bulk that plagues traditional turkey gear. The result is a dead-quiet, streamlined jacket that provides warmth without compromising the mechanics of the shot. |
|
|
Aptitude Windproof Series | Core Shielding Wind is the enemy of both the turkey hunter’s ears and their core temperature. The Aptitude Vest is a high-authority layering piece designed to be worn over Kinetic Merino to neutralize spring gusts. For advanced protection against damp, windy conditions, the Aptitude Jacket expands on this platform. Both pieces feature a fully windproof laminate and extreme stretch, ensuring the hunter remains mobile whether they are pinned against a hardwood or making a move on a bird. |
|
|
Clime Pant | All-Season Versatility The Clime Pant is the definitive chassis for the mobile woodsman. Engineered for universal application, it features ventilated hip zips to dump heat during high-exertion stalks. In the early season, the anatomical cut allows for seamless layering over Kinetic Merino bottoms without sacrificing the range of motion required for crawling into position. In the turkey woods, the margin for error is nonexistent. By aggregating this specific collection, TUO has eliminated the guesswork of early-season layering, providing a system that thrives in the high-contrast, pre-foliage environments where traditional patterns fail. It is a tactical kit built for the hunter who views spring not as a casual outing, but as a technical pursuit requiring the same level of discipline and gear integrity as an alpine expedition. |

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.
