Windproofing without the weight.
Built with flexibility in mind, the Elkins hunting jacket in Tarnen has every feature you need to take on the Fall. With a 100% windproof construction, this jacket offers midweight warmth from September's opening weekends to November's all day sits.
The exterior is a soft, quiet fleece we call In-Velvet that muffles noise and adds exterior warmth. Treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, it also sheds rain and light moisture. The grid fleece interior is soft against your skin on warmer days, but easily slides over other insulating layers when the temperature drops.
Tapered sleeves allow for a proper fit - making it easier to draw your bow or shoulder a firearm. The integrated harness access port in the back allows you to wear the Elkins camo jacket over your tree stand harness without getting in the way.

Is the Elkins hunting jacket quiet for bowhunting? - Yes, the Elkins were designed with the quiet, stealthy bowhunter in mind. The In-Velvet fleece exterior muffles noises from moving on stand or drawing your bow.
Can I wear the Elkins jacket in 35F or less temperatures? - Yes, with extra layering. The Elkins is mainly designed for 35F-55F weather, but being 100% windproof, it blocks cold winds from penetrating. It’s not insulated enough on its own to get below freezing, but by layering up underneath, bowhunters across the country have filled their tags well below freezing..
Do I need to order this jacket a size larger to allow for extra layers? - No, we design all of our pants to fit larger for colder temperature ranges. This means that if you wear an XL jacket for lightweight garments, you would continue to wear an XL in our midweight and heavyweight garments.
What layers are needed to utilize the full temperature range of the Elkins jacket? - Our layering system follows our System Builder - base layers to outer layers. Each hunter’s cold tolerance is different, so your needs might vary. By following the four stages of base layers, mid-layers, insulation layers, and outer layers, you can get the full temperature range and then some.
Tarnen camouflage makes traditional tree bark camo obsolete. Naturally occuring shapes, colors, and shadows are distorted, making it a universal pattern. Keep concealed during every hunt with Huntworth Tarnen.
