Under Armour Derecho Fleece Review
So last Christmas my wife bought me the Under Armour Derecho Fleece hunting Jacket and Pants in Realtree AP.
http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/e...et/106055C-375
It is the first Under Armour apparel that I have owned and can honestly say that I will not wear anything else.
The jacket and pants are very well made and is extremely lightweight in feel. It is silent when moving around and is very non restricting. Although the temps in Southeast VA don't get down low like in other areas of the country being near the coast we do have a lot of wind and cold rain during the winter hunting season. The Derecho Fleece is very windproof and provides excellent protection from the wind while retaining heat. Something else I have noticed is that I don't have to wear as much under clothes as I did before hunting with my old Carhartt hunting gear.
When the temps are in the 50's + I can get away with the pants and jacket and maybe a coldgear shirt.
Temps below 50 I have been using a poly medium base layer.
Hunting 3-4 days a week I put the clothes to the test. Wind, rain, heat(it does get hot in the early season), cold, mud etc, hasn't been a problem.
Pros:
-lightweight
-mobility
-windproof
-waterproof
-excellent temp management
Cons:
-price
-size (sizes run a little larger than other hunting gear. I usually wear a large jacket but ended up with a medium in this Fleece)
-not offered in bibs
-no belt loops in pants
Good luck this season and if you can find a good deal you will not be disappointed with this product
