MUSKEGON, Mich. (June 27, 2023) – $34.99 is a scary price for a fishing shirt. Typically, you wouldn’t expect much. Or, you’d simply thump past it on the rack looking for a better build, different brand. That’s certainly the case with knockoff fishing shirts and private labels. You get what you pay for. But, quite astonishingly, that isn’t the case with WHITEWATER Fishing’s Lightweight Tech Hoodie and Long Sleeve Tech Shirt. Now before my spiel, I solemnly swear having owned and fished both for over a year. That entails too many fishing adventures to tally and dozens of washings, often ending days with fish blood and Frank’s hot sauce on the fabric. |

Let’s start with a bit about use. Lightweight performance fishing shirts provide comfortable and versatile protection from the sun’s harmful rays while wicking moisture to keep warm-weather anglers cool during the heat of the hunt. But many so-called fishing tech shirts have a downside. It’s called permastink. The lightweight polyester material, which forms the fabrics that perform so well in warm temperatures has a very small pore structure that can trap and tightly grip bacteria and odor molecules. Once trapped, these odors can be difficult or impossible to remove, even with repeated washings. |

WHITEWATER Fishing’s Long-Sleeve Tech Shirt and Lightweight Tech Hoodie deliver a triple dose of technology to keeps anglers dry, protected from solar radiation, and smelling fresh. Their 100% polyester interlock fabric yields supreme, next-to-skin comfort, while wicking perspiration to keep you comfy and dry. UPF 30 provides both UVA and UVB skin protection that effectively blocks over 96% of ultraviolet radiation. Finally, an antimicrobial treatment controls and prevents odors, including the permastink that can infiltrate untreated polyester garments. The stretchy material is like witchcraft, too. Silky smooth to the touch. And it maintains its athletic fit after numberless wearing and washing. Functions like another layer of skin, one that protects you from the sun and draws moisture away. In these economic times when every purchase is under scrutiny, these top-shelf fishing shirts pass the performance and practicality tests. |

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.
