From Beretta
Beretta is excited to announce the launch of its brand-new waterfowl clothing collection. Born from an understanding of and created in collaboration with hunters who endure conditions where warmth and comfort are essential, this waterfowl collection features technical performance fabrics that are windproof, waterproof, abrasion-resistant, and breathable in order to fulfill the specific needs and demands of today’s waterfowler.
This new clothing line draws its inspiration from the unbeatable A400 Xtreme Plus series of semi-automatic hunting shotguns and, like its firearm counterpart, it has been designed to withstand even the harshest of weather conditions without compromising comfort and performance. Uniting our proprietary BCMS (Beretta Clothing Modular System) with Gore-Tex® and Polartec® fabrics designed to provide enhanced protection from the elements, improve thermal regulation, and support an increased range of motion, Beretta delivers a full collection that includes insulating jackets, sweaters, vests, and bibs as well as accessory items such as hats, neck gaiters, and gloves.
Beretta has partnered with Veil™ Camo to bring this new Xtreme Waterfowl Gear collection to life using an advanced concealment camouflage pattern, Veil™ Avayde, that provides superior concealment in reed and marsh environments. Veil™ Camo seeks to break the pattern of traditional camouflage design and push the industry forward by delivering cutting-edge, scientifically engineered camo patterns that redefine what is possible for concealment. Through their intensive research on human and animal vision and perception as well as a foundation built upon mathematical and color theories, Veil™ Camo infuses their proven concealment principles into every pattern to create innovative patterns with engaging color palettes native to the environments for which they’re created.
“Our mission is to deliver the best in technical performance gear for our customers. When we decided 2 years ago to up the ante on our waterfowl clothing & accessories, the successful launch of our A400 Xtreme Plus shotgun served as our inspiration. I wanted clothing that would stand up to any downpour, with lasting stay-power in any blind, and keep you toasty all at the same time. We held key focus groups with customers in major flyways and dug in deep to find ways to improve what is currently out there for duck hunters. We built strong relationships with the best fabric manufacturers in the outdoor market to exceed expectations and I know everyone will enjoy our Xtreme Waterfowl Gear,” Patrick Mocorro, Digital P.A.C Sales Manager & Clothing – Accessories Business Leader, said.
With a utility welded tape for duck calls and multiple chest and front pockets for storage, the Beretta B-Xtreme GTX Jacket is waterproof, windproof, and exceedingly durable thanks to its Gore-Tex® 3L Tricot Laminate construction. Also, this jacket is very breathable with underarm ventilation zips that prevent overheating during strenuous activity but allow for heat retention when activity has stopped. To make this jacket even more durable, critical areas have been reinforced with a fabric containing 16% Kevlar®, a tightly spun fiber that is nearly impossible to separate. The cuff is made of Gore-Tex® Stretch material that is extremely elastic and waterproof, and all of the pockets are fleece lined for added comfort and sized to fit over our insulation layers.
Constructed with Gore-Tex® Infinium softshell fabric, the Beretta Highball Windpro® Sweater utilizes a grid fleece lining for added warmth and a Gore-Tex® Stretch fabric under the arm for greater mobility. With a high back collar to protect against back wind, this insulating sweater also features durable, abrasion-resistant inserts on the arms and a kangaroo lined fleece pouch.
The Beretta B-Xtreme GTX Bib is made of highly durable materials that feature abrasion-resistant, reinforced fabric containing 16% Kevlar® on the knees and seat. In particular, the knees are an ergonomic design with pleats that allow for enhanced freedom of movement. With various pockets for storage and an additional hand warmer pocket with comfort fabric inside, the B-Xtreme GTX Bib also features adjustable elastic suspenders and a security backtac as well as a waist adjuster to regulate fit, form, and performance.
For added protection from the elements during those cold and windy days in the blind, the Beretta Windpro® Neck Gaiter is 100% windproof and waterproof thanks to its Gore-Tex® Infinium softshell construction with a fleece lining and drawstring regulation for additional warmth.
Suitable for temperatures from 32-50 ?, the Beretta WaterShield Gloves feature a slim construction made of Polartec® Windpro® material with WRT – Water-Resistant Technology – and an anti-slip insert on the palm that allows for a comfortable trigger pull. These new hunting gloves also have a touch screen insert on the index finger and a neoprene cuff with an elastic insert on the wrist.
The entire waterfowl collection retails for an MSRP that ranges between $39-$579.
