HURRICANE, Utah (Jan. 5, 2024) — Mountain hunting athletes that demand the very best cutting-edge materials and designs in performance outerwear need to look no further than the SKRE Gear Hardscrabble jacket and pants built around the company’s proprietary MTN-X2 fabric.
SKRE Gear’s MTN-X2 is a proprietary purpose-built, soft-shell polyester four-way stretch fabric formulated using a technical blend of poly-synthetic fibers that form a high-performance woven exterior barrier that is mountain rugged yet ultra-quiet and comfortable. This dense weave gives it twice the strength of most polyester fabrics, making it a must-have for hunters who demand their gear stand up to significant abuse. MTN-X2 has been formulated to be ultra-efficient at wicking moisture away from the body while drying quickly in the presence of heavy moisture.
“If Jim Bridger were alive today, we’re certain our Hardscrabble jacket and pants would be his go-to for all-season mountain use,” said Mike Nielson, SKRE founder. “Here, we’ve bonded a windproof microfleece liner to our ultra-quiet MTN-X2 face fabric, resulting in a high-performance system that shines in the face of extreme elements while allowing the process of thermoregulation to thrive as you traverse even the most rugged terrain. Dual pit zips help expel heat quickly when climbing, and the anatomical fit allows for a full range of motion when traversing even the roughest country. The system is designed to last for years, and best of all, it’s offered at a price far lower than comparable products on the market today.”
The Hardscrabble jacket features an athletic fit that’s been mountain tested for durability, dual ventilation pit zips, anatomically-positioned chest and pocket zippers, ultra-quiet dual waist cord locks, fully adjustable storm hood, wind-resistant special technology MTN-X2 face fabric bonded with microfleece, YKK Zippers, and a durable water-resistant Teflon+ shield. The Hardscrabble pant features an anatomical fit, interior waist grip band, dual-zippered cargo pockets, dual-zippered rear pockets, wind-resistant special technology MTN-X2 face fabric bonded with microfleece, YKK Zippers, zippered side vents, and a durable water-resistant Teflon+ shield. Men’s jacket sizes range from medium to 4XL, weigh an average of just 1 lb., 11 oz., and have a MSRP of $149.96. Men’s pant sizes range from 30-42 in Regular and Tall, weigh an average of 1 lb., 6 oz., and have a MSRP of $96.71. Women’s jacket sizes range from XS to XL, weigh an average of just 1 lb., 8 oz., and have an MSRP of $149.96, while the women’s pant sizes range from 28-34, weigh an average of just 1 lb., 2 oz., and have an MSRP of $96.71.
