Russell Outdoors Introduces APXg2 Early Season Hunting Gear

ALEXANDER CITY, ALABAMA- Russell Outdoors introduced the new APXg2 line just in time for Fall. The product line was designed to provide protection against the elements while keeping hunters and outdoorsmen comfortable in all weather conditions.

The APXg2 L3 Jacket and Pant from Russell Outdoors offers wind and rain resistance. APXg2 L3 is a soft, quiet single-layer soft shell fabric providing superior comfort and flexibility. A lightweight and versatile jacket and pant that can't be beat for early season hunts. Available in Mossy Oak® Treestand™ and Black.

The jacket features a closer fitting cut and stretch storm cuffs to keep the sleeves snug around the wrist - especially useful for the archery hunter. The offset shoulders seams reduce bulk when layering and friction points when equipment is being carried. The droptail hem provides additional coverage when stalking or sitting. The pants feature articulated knees and a double layer seat. Bonded pockets and seams provide added stability on fabric joins. The fabric is extremely lightweight with multi-directional stretch. The cut, construction and fabric allow for full range of motion - a requirement for any hunt.

"APXg2 is a combination of the best creative minds, the best fabrics, and the best technologies available in the market today. Function, performance, and comfort are the driving force behind each APXg2 product," said Mark Tate, Senior Vice President of Russell Outdoors. "Over the past several months we've challenged our Partner Staff team to put these products to the test. To date the feedback has exceeded our expectations."

Tate added, "The original APX system was introduced to the hunting industry in 2004. We designed the system to combine layers for a comfortable and protective environment while on the hunt. This changed the way industry viewed system-oriented apparel and began a revolution in technical hunting gear. APX quickly became the standard for a multi-product layering system, and is widely emulated today."

"We took a great product and made it even better. This is not just apparel - this system is so advanced we call it gear. APXg2 gear provides a number of system configurations that will keep you warm, dry and/or odor-free", Tate said.

APXg2 products are available at stores across the country. Visit our website at www.russelloutdoorsgear.com to search for a dealer near you, or do a web search for "Russell Outdoors APXg2" for dealers who have product available online.
