Mossy Oak Duck Blind Camo on Browning Transitions Series Apparel For 2009

MORGAN, UT – With Browning’s introduction of the Transitions Series line of apparel in 2008, getting the most out of layering became easier to understand and more effective than ever before for big game hunters. For 2009, Browning will expand the Transitions Series to now include garments designed to the specific needs of waterfowl hunters. Base layer, insulation layer and protection layer garments will all be offered in Mossy Oak Duck Blind.

The Transitions Series was created out of necessity with three primary objectives: to do more with less by eliminating weight and bulk while improving performance, to be backpack friendly by placing pockets where they can be easily accessed when wearing a pack, and to revitalize the time-proven concept of layering.

Waterfowl season places great demands on what hunters wear to stay dry, warm and comfortable. Transitions Series apparel from Browning will allow the waterfowl hunter to adapt to varying weather conditions: warm and humid, cold and rainy or anything in between. Lightweight fleece, 700 Fill Power Down, Gore-Tex and Browning Pre-Vent fabrics will be featured in the new Transitions Series Waterfowl apparel for 2009.

Base layer garments in the Transitions Waterfowl category will include the new Endurance Fleece that is designed to maximize warmth while minimizing bulk. The stretchy new material moves with the wearer, offering unrestricted mobility and protection from cold. An Endurance Fleece Quarter-Zip pullover, wader pant, Comfort Fleece shirt and pant will give hunters plenty of options in the base layer category.

In the Transitions insulation layer category Browning will offer a new Windcutter™ pullover, Windcutter hooded pullover, Windcutter vest and Windcutter hooded vest. Browning Windcutter is a waterfowl soft shell three-layer, four-way stretch laminated fabric with an abrasion-resistant and highly water-resistant polyester outer face. The middle layer consists of Windcutter laminate that blocks wind and provides water-resistance in all but the most extreme weather, and the inner layer is a soft fleece.

Browning will offer the new 4X Microfleece in the Transitions Insulation category that will include a 4X Microfleece jacket and vest. Both feature a highly constructed microfiber fabric that is wind-resistant and extremely quiet in a backpack friendly design. In addition, Browning will offer the 700 Fill Power Down jacket and vest that provides maximum warmth with the least weight and bulk. The shell is a high tread count, down-proof fabric that assures optimum loft and compactness.

In the Transitions protection layer category, Browning will introduce the new Maxus Gore-Tex jacket, Wing-Set jacket and Gore-Tex Paclite Half-Zip pullover that will give the waterfowl hunter the latest in soft-shell technology. The Gore-Tex Paclite fabric provides waterproof protection in a lightweight nylon fabric.

Leupold Introduces New Northfork Binocular Line

Company’s First Slim Hinge Design

BEAVERTON, OR- Leupold has combined premium features and advanced optical performance with a sleek, single-hinge design in its newest line of binoculars, the Northfork Series.

The binoculars’ futuristic design incorporates a single, slim hinge near the eyecups – similar to an open-bridge style without a hinge near the objective lenses. This configuration allows for an increased level of comfort and ergonomics since both hands can wrap around the barrels.

“The design of the Northfork makes them very comfortable to operate for extended periods in the field,” said Mike Slack, Leupold’s marketing communications manager. “Observationists get premium quality and image clarity at a mid-level price.”

The Northfork line features 45mm objective lenses and Super High Reflection prism enhancement.

The Northfork’s long eye relief makes them ideal for any hunter with or without eyeglasses. With a close focus of less than 10 feet and an angular field of view of more than six degrees, the Northfork is versatile enough to meet the needs of everyone from backyard birders to hardcore naturalists.

Models available include 8.5×45mm or 10.5×45mm with either black or Mossy Oak Break-Up armor coating. The binoculars include a case, padded-edge neoprene neck strap, and eyepiece and objective lens covers. The Northfork is protected by the Leupold Green Ring Limited Lifetime Warranty.
