You wore the hoodie because it was freezing when you stepped out of the truck.

Now you are halfway to the stand. You are heating up fast. The hoodie needs to come off. What options do you have?

• Option A: Tie it around your waist. It snags on brush and swings with every step.
• Option B: Drape it over your pack. It slides, bunches, and gets in the way.
• Option C: Carry it in one hand. Now one hand is useless for your bow, rifle, sticks, or coffee.
• Option D: Shove it in your pack... where? Your pack is already full of hunt gear.

So you keep wearing it. Overheating. Sweating. Cooling down later in the stand. All because nobody solved the most basic hunting layer problem: what do you do with it when you don't need it?

The BÆRSkin Backpack Hoodie solves it in 10 seconds.

Stuff the hoodie into its built-in hunter pocket. Pull out the hidden strap. Sling it on your back like a satchel. Keep moving hands-free. And if weather rolls in? Zip on the Heavy-Storm Rain Jacket. When the rain stops, pack the jacket into the hoodie-backpack too.

Scenario 1: The Long Walk-In

Before daylight: cold enough for fleece. Hoodie on. Zipped up. Necessary.

Twenty minutes later: your pace has you heating up. Hoodie off. Stuffed into itself. Slung on your back. Walk-in continues — hands free for your bow, rifle, climbing sticks, and pack straps.

Scenario 2: The Tree Stand Sit

Base of the tree: warm from the hike in. Up in the stand: movement stops and the wind starts working on you. Put the hoodie back on, cinch the hood, waist, and cuffs, and settle in without digging through a full pack for another loose layer.

Scenario 3: The Ridge Glass

Climb to the ridge: too active for a heavy layer. Glass from open ground: wind cuts across fast. Pull the hoodie out of backpack mode, zip it up, and keep rangefinder, phone, calls, snacks, and gloves secured in dedicated pockets.

Scenario 4: The Wet Weather Hunt

Morning: cold. Hoodie on. Midday: rain starts. Zip on the Heavy-Storm Rain Jacket over the hoodie. Later: rain breaks and the sun warms the trail. Unzip the rain jacket, pack it into its own pocket, slide it inside the hoodie-backpack. Too warm for the hoodie too? Stuff the hoodie into backpack mode — rain jacket already inside. Sling it on. Your hunting layer system is on your back. Hands free. Hunt continues.

The backpack conversion gets the attention. But this is still a BÆRSkin hoodie - and every BÆRSkin detail is here.

The best hunting layers fit close enough to trap warmth, but not so tight that they bind when you draw, climb, kneel, or shoulder a pack. Get your ideal size by measuring your chest size. The Heavy-Storm Rain Jacket is designed to fit perfectly over the hoodie below it.

• Step 1 - Measure Your Chest: Wrap the tape measure across your chest, under your armpits, and around your back.
• Step 2 - Keep it Level: Ensure the tape is horizontal around your body, avoiding any dips at the back.
• Step 3 - Find Your Size: Match your measurement with our size chart and BOOM - the perfect hunting layer fit is yours.
