Did you know: Kryptek and iSportsman have teamed up to bring you the best deals on select Kryptek gear for all seasons and sports! Now only at shop.isportsman.com you can get official Kryptek gear with exclusive offers from iSportsman.
With this new partnership in full swing, we wanted to take the time to help you prep for warm weather scouting. Summer is still in full swing, but deer season is right around the corner. If you’re starting your scouting ventures already, get the best of both worlds with Kryptek’s warm-weather camo options.
The Tactical Rugby SS shirt is great for guys who are aiming to decrease their visibility in the backwoods, but also want to look presentable when going out with friends. This blend between practicality and fashion is possible thanks to this shirt’s rugby collar, tactical uniform design, and nylon/cotton breathable fabric that wicks away moisture and dries quickly. When used in the field, the Tactical Rugby SS has pad compatible sleeves for carrying out heavy packs, anti-abrasion patches for rough terrain, and Velcro storage pockets for easy access to gear.
The Hyperion Short Sleeve Crew is better suited for the outback, made with birds-eye mesh fabric to provide the ultimate lightweight warm weather shirt. The birds-eye mesh fabric is also highly moisture wicking, all-directionally stretchable, and provides an athletic fit. And we’re not saying that you CAN’T pair a full-camo top with full-camo bottoms to go out to dinner, but we are saying that we will make memes about it.
Perfect for warm weather scouting and acceptable for beaches, pool parties, and BBQs, the Tireme Cargo Short exceeds the functionality of a well-made summer cargo short option, while also offering outdoor exceptionalism. Secure necessary gear in the zippered thigh pocket or plier pocket and utilize the drawstring waistband for high-mobility movement with the perfect fit. The shorts offer UV 40 protection, and the pockets have drain holes for crossing streams, surfing, or swimming.
Another great early season scouting option is the Valhalla II Short, which is — to put it simply — the classic Valhalla Pant but in short. Offering the same highly breathable articulated athletic fit, the Valhalla II Short has two hand pockets, two thigh pockets, two zippered thigh pockets, and two rear pockets, so you can be prepared and have easy access to any gear you may need while out and about.
Both warm weather scouting outfits are available in multiple camo patterns exclusively from Kryptek. You can mix and match any shirt and short recommendation, but we chose to highlight the two options that are available to buy a full set in.
The Obskura Transitional camo pattern by Kryptek was designed for multi-altitude and landscape outdoorsmen. With the ability to blend seamlessly into terrains such as mountains, prairies, dense woods, and plains.
The Highlander camo pattern by Kryptek is suited for a dryer, western climate such as California or Arizona. If your surroundings consist mostly of red clay over greenery — the Highlander camo set will provide you the most seamless coverage.
