The CORE Lightweight Crew - SS establishes a great base layer foundation with improved moisture wicking and Permanent Polygiene Odor Control Technology. This Short Sleeve Crew's quick-dry comfort stretch fabric wicks away moisture, and is a great piece worn by itself during those preseason scouting sessions. With its athletic fit, the redesigned 2019 Sitka Gear CORE Lightweight Crew SS transitions nicely from a single next-to- the-skin layer in those early season hunts to a base for ­ mid-season.

TECHNOLOGY

POLYGIENE

Polygiene Odor Control Technology is a natural fit for hunting. By permanently treating fabrics with low concentrations of silver salt, which has inherent antimicrobial properties and is naturally present in water, Polygiene safely eliminates the ability for bacteria to grow and effectively neutralizes odor.

GORE OPTIFADE CONCEALMENT

Traditional mimicry patterns based on human vision are designed to look like a specific type of vegetation or terrain. GORE OPTIFADE Concealment is the only scientifically proven concealment pattern based on animal vision to optically fade a hunter into their surroundings. By using advanced blends of micro and macro patterns to fool animal vision rather than mimic a particular shape, GORE OPTIFADE Concealment is more versatile and more effective at getting hunters close to game.
