FIRST LITEAPPARELBORN IN

IDAHO/USA

FROM THE OWNERSFor 2015 and beyond, the First Lite team has developed what we believe is the most in-

novative camouflage pattern to hit the market – Fusion. We have been working behind the scenes on this new pattern for 2 years with the help of industry insiders and the team at

Veil Camo to incorporate all of the elements that we have found effective over the years in a modern, visually unique pattern. Initial introductions to the hunting community have been

met with an overwhelmingly positive response and the stories and pictures that we have already received from hunters in the field using Fusion have been beyond our expectation.

Check out Fusion in the pages of this catalog, go on the web and search for First Lite Fusion to see what others have said and then make the decision to pull on the

most effective pattern on the market.

In addition to the introduction of Fusion, we have added a collection of Women’s base layers designed specifically for the serious female hunter who demands the highest quality, best fitting designs and most comfortable fabrics available. We have had hundreds of requests

for high quality, purpose built women’s hunting clothing that we couldn’t ignore. So ladies, if you are serious about hunting and going farther, staying longer, then the First Lite women’s

base layers are going to be the foundation for your hunting clothing system.

ENJOY THE HUNT. GO FARTHER. STAY LONGER.

FIRST LITE FUSION CAMO

No pixels. No trees. Designed exclusively for First Lite, Fusion is a proprietary mix of shapes and colors designed to obliterate the human shape. Fusion dissolves into its surroundings unlike anything else. From 2 to 2000 yards, Fusion excels by removing the characteristic outlines of the hunter through a powerful set of features. Fusion employs both macro and micro disruption as well as finely tuned distortions. These features are placed using nature-based algorithms derived from the golden ratio found throughout the natural world. Simply put, the relationship between color and shape is specifically designed to fool the brain and resemble recurring patterns found in nature. Unique to Fusion, the signature feature of this camouflage is its “crackalature”. Using light and dark shapes that weave throughout the pattern, the crackalature aspect further distorts the hunter’s signature shape, avoiding isolumi-

nance (color blobbing). The powerful features of Fusion combine to ensure concealment at any distance. This pattern was designed to be the most versatile pattern commercially available. It hides the hunter by aggressively scattering body shape signature on multiple levels, blending in to surroundings with innovative texture disruption and coloration, confusing depth perception and focus, and features a unique crackleture pattern that is at home in a wide range of environments. It excels close and far, in the trees and on the ground.

FUSION CAMO FEATURES

• Large Shape Disruption (nature-based algorithms)• Small-Medium Texture Disruption (nature-based algorithms)• Disruptive Coloration (carefully curated pallet of nine colors)• Focal and Depth Confusion (both focal and peripheral vision is greatly affected)• Light and Dark Crackleture (further distorts the subjects overall body shape)

ENVIRONMENTAL FLEXIBILITYAnother special feature of this pattern is its inherent ability to function in just about any environment AND transition between them extremely well. It was designed this way to enable and free the hunter to successfully operate in a wider variety of environments WITHOUT a change in camo.

LARGE SHAPE DISRUPTIONThe large shape disruption in this pattern distorts and hides the hunter’s body shape by incorporating large regions of light and dark colors that work against the signature human figure.

SMALL-MEDIUM TEXTURE DISRUPTIONWhen closer to your prey, texture based disruption is integral to hiding your shape and location. A scattering of small to medium sized elements effectively blends the hunter in to their surroundings and ensures that alerted prey has a more difficult time identifying them.

DISRUPTIVE COLORATIONThe large and small disruption supports the overall disruptive coloration found in this pattern. This advanced pattern, Fusion, uses a fine-tuned set of nine colors to both contrast against body outline and blend with the surroundings.

FOCAL AND DEPTH CONFUSIONBy carefully using color and shape algorithms based on nature, the prey’s focal vision is confused. Depth perception is affected with the use of color and the built-in sense of depth. Finally, peripheral vision of the prey is distorted with the controlled contrast and disruptive coloration.

LIGHT AND DARK CRACKLETUREUnique to Fusion, the crackleture use of light and dark shapes that weave throughout the pattern offers yet another level of versatility and effectiveness by further distorting the hunter’s shape.

37.5™ TECHNOLOGY

37.5™ TECHNOLOGY BY COCONA

PATENTED TECHNOLOGY THAT USES BODY HEAT TO EVAPORATE MOISTUREComfort in clothing is greatly influenced by the temperature and humidity next to skin known as the microclimate. For the average person, the body strives to maintain an ideal core body temperature of 37.5° C. You are most comfortable when the microclimate next to your skin has a relative humidity close to 37.5%. When you are in this ideal 37.5 comfort zone, you are also in your ideal performance zone. Cocona technology helps your body manage the moisture in your microclimate to keep you in this “37.5 zone” of comfort and performance.

TECHNOLOGY THAT ENHANCES THE BODY’S EFFICIENT SYSTEMYour body already has the ultimate thermo-regulating system. The perspiration vapor that comes off of skin during activity cools the body when working hard. In fact, each gram of evaporated sweat releases 580 calories of stored heat. Unless this water vapor can be removed from the microclimate, it builds up in clothing, footwear, or gloves and creates a clammy and uncomfortable microclimate. 37.5 technology works to enhance the body’s natural cooling mechanism—the body puts out sweat to cool it down, 37.5 technology removes it from the microclimate.

HOW IT WORKSWith 37.5 technology, patented active particles permanently embedded at the fiber level capture and release moisture vapor. Not only do these active particles provide 800% more surface area to the fiber, they also provide a unique driving force to remove mois-ture vapor unlike any other technology. By actively responding to body heat, the active particles use this energy from the body to accelerate the vapor movement and speed up the conversion of liquid to vapor, significantly increasing drying rates. This means the hotter the user gets, the stronger the driving force removing moisture becomes—and the more comfortable the garment remains.

BENEFITS OF 37.5 TECHNOLOGY37.5 technology works to keep the optimum relative humidity in your microclimate so your body more efficiently maintains an ideal core temperature, enabling you to perform better, longer. Fabrics made with 37.5 technology dry up to five times faster than similar fabrics, diminishing wet cling. 37.5 technology is made with naturally derived materials so there are no harsh chemicals to irritate your skin. 37.5 active particles are permanently embedded into yarn and will never wash out or degrade.

Next to skin comfort, extra warmth and odor control make our midweight fabrics extremely versatile. Our midweight fabrics are 100% superfine Merino wool constructed in a weight that is perfect for a first layer in moderate conditions or as a second layer for colder situations.

At over twice the weight of our lightweight fabric, the First Lite heavyweight Merino wool will keep you warm when the temps are low. Wool’s unique warmth to weight ratio means that styles made with this fabric will insulate and ensure comfort at a wide range of cooler temperatures without being bulky, noisy or cumbersome.

All of our outer layers are built to withstand the harshest elements – cold, wind, rain, snow and sleet. All of our Outer Layers have a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating to repel moisture and includes a breathable membrane, soft shell fleece interior or insulation. You can be assured that by choosing our Outer Layer products, you will be hunting comfortably even when the weather turns against you.

FIRST LITE FIRST IN MERINO WOOL CAMO

Most of us who are old enough to have spent years in the outdoors before the advent of Merino wool underlayers associate ‘wool’ with that stinky, itchy, hand-knit sweater that weighed 20 lbs when wet and smelled like your 10 year old Golden Retriever. With the advent of Merino wool garments all of that has changed. Merino wool fibers are some of the finest found in nature and produce material so soft, durable and naturally odor resistant, they surpass synthetics in every way. Despite the advances of science and the creation of soft fleece and plush cynchilla, nothing beats the feel of Merino wool and unlike synthetics which stink when they’re dirty with sweat, wool doesn’t stink even after you’ve sweated in it for days. Not only does this mean it needs to be washed far less than your other garments, but it means not getting as easily “winded” by game when it matters most. You’ll be happy to know washing your wool is easy (when it needs it) and it can be dried in the dryer as well. Wearing our Merino wool underlayers will feel like you’re wearing your favorite cotton T-shirt.

HOW DOES IT KNOW?Sheep have evolved over hundreds of thousands of years and are able to live in the freezing high alpine slopes of Siberia as well as the blistering heat of the Australian outback, their wool coats both shelter them from the cold and protect them from the heat. Merino wool underlayers do the same against our skin. They regulate body heat much better than any synthetic fabric can and will keep you comfortable in a wider range of temperatures. When it is warm the wool transports moisture and warm air away from the skin and disperses it into the air, when it is cold the wool traps the warm air and keeps it close to the skin.

NO SMELL “They can hear you twice, see you once, but if they smell you they’re gone.” Every hunter knows the importance of minimizing human odor and there’s no fabric better at keeping B.O. to a minimum than wool. Wool absorbs 30% of its weight in moisture which then passes through the material and is released into the air instead of remaining on the skin. Transporting the moisture away from the skin and completely through the fabric is the main reason wool is so successful at controlling odor. Nylon absorbs only 4.5% and polyester .4%. With these synthetic fabrics moisture remains on the skin and the fabric leaving a feast for odor creating bacteria on the skins surface.

NO SHINEWool absorbs light while synthetics reflect it and create a UV shine. Even wool blends with as little as 10% nylon or other synthetic material such as silver reflect light making you more visible to your prey. 100% wool has no reflection.

NO SOUNDWool doesn’t flap in the wind, doesn’t shear when you walk or crackle when it’s cold. Wool in motion creates no sound.

MERINO WOOL TECHNOLOGYCOMFORTMerino wool fibers are some of the finest found in nature. It is the tiny diameter of the fibers that allows it to be worn directly next to your skin without any irritation or itch. Merino wool comes from the Merino sheep breed which is only found in specific natural environments. The wool growers in New Zealand and Australia have refined the wool sorting process to produce soft, durable wool for next to skin applications.

The composition of wool makes it warm, water-repellent, odor-resistant, flame-retardant, durable, anti-static, and a UV protector. Wool is 90% keratin - a tough, insoluble, fibrous protein also found in hair, finger nails, horns, hooves and the outer layer of skin. A wool fiber can be bent and twisted more than 20,000 times before it will break. This elasticity as well as the microscopic diameter of each strand of wool creates a soft, comfortable, fabric that is perfect for hunters in all types of conditions.

ODOR CONTROLThere are a number of aspects of the physical and chemical structure of Australian Merino that make it naturally more resistant to odors than other textiles, especially synthetics.

Moisture Transport - While sweat itself has no odor, if it remains on the skin in time bacteria develop and create unpleasant body odors. Merino reduces the opportunity for odors to generate because it is more efficient than other

textiles at absorbing sweat and evaporating it into the air.

No Microbial attraction - Studies have shown that bacteria are more attracted to the smooth, positively charged surface of a synthetic fiber than the scaly surface of a Merino fiber which carries no charge.

Moisture Absorption - The Merino has a much greater capacity than other fibers to absorb moisture. In fact, it can absorb 35% of its own weight in liquid. The moisture is bound within the structure, and so is not available to microbes, which are unable to penetrate the scaly surface of the fiber.

Glass Transition - In water and conditions of high humidity, Merino passes through what is termed a glass transition at which point it dramatically increases its rate of absorption and dispersion.

Trapping Odors - The rate of diffusion of small and large molecules into the fiber increases and it is able to absorb odors faster. When the temperature drops, and the fiber once again falls below the glass transition, the odors are trapped within the structure even if the

SHOOTER’S CUTFreedom of movement and total confidence in your gear means that when that shot-of-a-lifetime finally presents itself, you will succeed. That was the inspiration behind the new Shooters Cut fit design and construction. Shoulders and arms are sewn in a way that allows for maximum articulation without any binding to ensure that when drawing your bow, looking thru your scope or down the barrel of your shotgun it is a smooth and uninhibited motion. Look for base and mid layers with the Shooters Cut icon and know that these products are designed for the maximum freedom of movement while still maintaining that performance and comfort you’ve grown to love.

It excels close and far, in the trees and on the ground.

ASATBreaks up the hunter’s outline even at close range. This camouflage becomes even more effective with distance and can make the hunter totally disappear into his natural surroundings. Rather than a particular pattern of leaves, sticks or bark, ASAT uses large irregular curved shapes of overlapping colors which create voids and shadows that effectively make it appear as though nothing is there. ASAT is made up of shades of brown, tan and black. The brown and black colors represent the background and shadows found in all terrains and in all seasons. The tan color reflects the surrounding colors into which it is placed. This allows the hunter to ‘blend’ into his surroundings instead of sticking out from them.

REALTREE MAX-1®Open Terrain was created to meet the increasing demand for a highly-effective pattern with the versatility to perform in a variety of open settings across the country. From mule deer, whitetail and pronghorn to elk, bighorn, varmints and turkey. Though this pattern has a decidedly Western flair it is versatile enough to perform in any open setting: Sage-covered hillsides. Mesquite flats. Wide open prairies. Deserts. Rocky terrain. Croplands. REALTREE MAX-1® is truly the perfect addition to the highly successful REALTREE ® brand.

REALTREE XTRA®Realtree Xtra uses natural elements like tree trunks, limbs and a variety of leaves, and arranges the elements over large open areas. Layering these elements at different depths within the pattern creates an amazing 3D effect and its this unique process that makes hunters absolutely disappear in nearly any hunting situation they find themselves. Season: Early Spring, Fall, Winter Application: Great for bow or gun hunting in hardwoods, pine or even on the ground floor.

moisture evaporates. Later, during laundering, the garment again passes through the glass transition point and the odors are carried out of the structure by the water. Synthetics are not able to benefit from this same effect because they do not pass through glass transition during normal wear.

THERMAL REGULATIONEach wool fiber is covered with tiny scales like tiles or shingles on a roof that help shed water, rain or spills. But wool is full of contrasts and paradoxes that give it outstanding high performance for cold weather activities. The interior (called the cortex) of wool fiber can hold up to 30% of its weight in moisture without the wool fabric feeling damp or clammy, while the exterior (called the cuticle) is water repelling.

Also, when moisture enters the wool fiber, energy is released in the form of heat which helps keep the outdoor enthusiast warm. The high performance characteristics of wool help keep the wearer warm in the winter and cool in the summer by naturally maintaining a comfortable balance in the wearer’s personal micro climate - that is the air between the skin and the layers of clothing. This means that in warm weather fine wool helps keep the wearer cool by transferring heat and body moisture away from the body for a naturally cooling effect.

ALLEGHENY BOTTOM

ALLEGHENY EXP

RED DESERT BOXER

Our Allegheny is the ultimate first layer in your hunting outfit. Once the leaves are off the trees, these midweight bottoms will provide warmth, breathability and odor control all day long, day after day. Also a great layer under your waders for those cold mornings in the duck blind. The Allegheny’s design includes less stitching in wear areas and a soft jaquard waistband.

The Allegheny EXP is the warmer bigbrother to our popular Allegheny bottom. The Allegheny EXP is 40% heavier than the regular Allegheny and more wool equals more warmth and comfort. For those sub freezing days in the tree stand, the Allegheny EXP will keep you warm and comfortable which means more time in the field and a better chance to fill your tag.

Slip on the First Lite 100% Merino Red Desert Boxer Short for the most comfortable and breathable experience you can find for those days when you will be on the move or the temperatures won’t require a full length bottom. You will be amazed at the Merino’s ability to control odor and regulate temperature on even the warmest days. The Red Desert’s design includes less stitching in wear areas and a soft jacquard waistband.

KANAB 2.0 PANTIf you were to sit down and think about what attributes you would like in your ultimate hunting pant, we would bet that the end result would be very similar to our Kanab hunting pant. The Kanab 2.0 is designed to be the hunting pant for the active hunter.

When compared to microfiber, wool has superior breathability and the ability to retain 80% of its warmth when soaking wet and most importantly does not smell even after days in the field.
