Why Is Blaser the Perfect Hunting Companion?

March 4, 2020

New for winter 2019/20 at The Sporting Lodge is the exclusive Blaser Active Vintage Smock and Trousers. Constructed from the well-known Hunting Loden fabric, this is where tradition meets high tech, delivering the perfect hunting companion. The fabric is extremely robust, noiseless and lightweight; it’s waterproof, windproof and breathable through a laminated membrane aided by the internal moisture-wicking lining. The peaked storm hood is multi-point adjustable with fixings; all the Zips are YKK, and the external ones for the radio pockets are Aquaguard. Underarm venting with zips for increased airflow, binocular/map pockets on the front with a magnetic storm flap, and a separate chest pocket behind the pouch for hands. Two zips on either side of the smock for easy on and off, and they're also two-way, so access to trouser pockets is easy. The adjustable drawstring at the waist and elastic inner cuffs with thumb loops give a great fit in the sleeve.
