iSportsman Staff

While some of our favorite activities do require state-of-the-art camo concealment, there are others where barbwire resistant toughness, fishing-specific webbing loops, or pockets designed for tool carry are much more applicable. And Patagonia jackets are great for hard work, long fishing trips, and adventurous hiking trips alike. iSportsman has rounded up a few of our favorites for whatever you do next outdoors.
