Whitetail

"I spent a lot of time in so many different conditions out there. When you're packing all your gear in for an all day sit, it's still a heavy lift to go a couple of miles in and get there in time, and not be super sweaty. This 2024 lineup just had me covered in so many different situations."

"You could tell there was a lot of detail poured into this lineup, every piece flowed together. There are a lot of synergies between these pieces, and you can adapt as the temperature changes, as the conditions change, but still feel comfortable and still feel confident in that system.

"I've worn a lot of camo over the years and worn a lot of gear and no joke, the new 2024 outerwear line from First Lite is the best gear I've ever worn in the Whitetail woods."

"It's pretty cool to be part of the team that gets to give feedback and say, this pocket here doesn't make sense, or this is how we can improve KitLink™. It was cool to be part of developing the next generation of Whitetail Gear.

"It's unbelievable. I didn't think I'd find something that would actually keep me fully warm in brutal conditions while being form fitting. As a bowhunter, you don't have to worry about coming to full draw and having saggy clothing touching your string or anything like that.”

"I like the new Core kit because it is a lot warmer, which is really good for me because I get cold very easily. I also like the accessibility of the harness pass through on the back of the jacket as well as all the different pockets, especially the hand warmer pockets on the bibs & the bigger pockets in the the jacket."

“I'm not sure how it got better, but it did. Specifically, I really love the Phase fleece outerwear piece - it's just crazy quiet and became my go to piece immediately.”

“First Lite has absolutely killed it. They nailed everything on the head this year with the lineup, from the Phase to the Core to the Thermic. You know that you're going to run into wind, and the ability to be able to take care of that problem firsthand, with the entire lineup, is a big deal.”
