Introducing the ultimate late-season layer. Inspired by the most fanatic hunters among us, those die-hards whose decades-long passion and breadth of experience drive them out of the blind and into the elements with the hope of how great the reward might be, Muddy created the DV8-branded apparel lineup. This complete camouflage layering system is designed to see hunters through every fair-weather day and wicked wintry moment experienced in the field all season long. Like you, items in this series sacrifice and expend what they must, thriving on every opportunity to fight Mother Nature in all her extremes—whether she’s at her most gracious or harshest and most unpredictable, which is exactly what the heavyweight, waterproof DV8 Mammoth Jacket is made to do.<br><br>Soft, silent and just as rugged, this mid- to late-season softshell layer comes loaded with insulation that traps your body’s warmth while leaving arms free from bulk to promote improved mobility in the field. Its 100% waterproof, windproof construction—courtesy of a polyester, composite microfiber fleece construction and durable water-repellent finish—is deathly silent, meaning your presence goes completely undetected, whether hunting from the ground or in the trees. And, if temps plummet enough to warrant adding another layer before heading into the field, the smooth, anti-pilling fleece fabric lining prevents bunching and preserves the garment’s overall longevity, allowing you to pull on the Nucleus Heated Vest or Quarter-Zip top to stay comfortably warm while hunting Mother Nature’s worst. Dropped cuffs with stretch cuff gussets deliver added coverage for a range of wrist sizes, preventing wind, rain and cold from gaining access. Offering even more protection from the elements is a drop-tail hem and articulated hood that deliver unrestricted freedom of movement so you can glass and survey your surroundings with ease. Zippered chest and hand pockets are ideal for stashing gear and accessories you need within easy reach during all-day sits, like cell phones, action cameras, and even small snacks to get yourself through. Plus, this ultra-quiet jacket even features an integrated harness port, making it simple to attach your tree stand safety harness while keeping everything else you’ve hauled into the field concealed.
