ScentBlocker’s New Switchback Offers Features to Impress Every Hunter

Like its name suggests, the new ScentBlocker Switchback offers options. It’s like having two suits for the price of one. Pick your poison, Realtree AP Snow or RealTree Xtra, either one is perfectly deadly.

Wear the soft and super quiet brushed face with high definition RealTree Xtra on the outside for cooler, dry hunts earlier in the season. When things get nasty, the kind of late season weather that hunters dream of, Switchback can be easily reversed to expose its Sherpa Fleece AP Snow camo. Of course the details have not been forgotten with elasticized cuffs on wrists, an adjustable draw cord waist that cinches to keep the snow out when low-crawling to get closer, and storm flaps on both hood and pockets for full featured, foul weather protection.

Aside from virtual infield invisibility, scent control is also important to avoid detection during spot and stalk and ambush situations, or when calling predators in close enough to kill. ScentBlocker adds proven S3 Silver Anti-Microbial to prevent the formation of odor causing bacteria.

Details are paramount to success and to ScentBlocker, so Switchback features the highest quality YKK zippers. The jacket offers an attached crown hood with side adjustment points while the bib features adjustable shoulder straps with quick release buckles for a perfectly comfortable fit. Gaining access to interior pockets, and getting boots on and off, are not a problem either with 2 side slash pockets with zipper closure, and 24” leg zippers, all with storm flaps.

Adaptation is the key to survival in the wild. Don’t be limited by weather or conditions. ScentBlocker’s new Switchback jacket and bib will help hunters adapt, overcome… and tag out.

It sounds obvious, but behind the scenes of every technical product at Robinson Outdoor Products LLC is a history of exhaustive use, abuse and in lab testing. We start with an idea, a need, and then seek out the finest fabrics, materials and formulas and start exploring design solutions to meet the need. Our advanced product lab tests materials, compatibility, performance levels and effectiveness scores with crucial data, but the final step is most crucial. We head into the field, because real world hunting needs can’t be solved in the lab alone. Such full-on testing often exposes details that might otherwise be overlooked. For example, designing hood or headcovers on a mannequin in the office is one thing. Until you climb up a high placed treestand and pull it over your head and try to draw a bow and shoot that you realize your vision and draw is compromised when that chance of a lifetime walks out. From this in-depth field-testing we have developed some of the most unique details and benefits that go into our products. Offset main zippers for clean shooting, diamond crotch gusset for a resistant free climb into a treestand, Silent Wrist Ratchet Body Lock for on stand adjustment, Gearpendent Technology for minimal movement while reaching for gear, Zip-off removable arm guard for non-restrictive shooting, tree harness slit for integrated attachment, perfect fit, function and the list goes on. Honestly, it's an evolution of understanding more than anything else. It's years of experience and many days, weeks and months of sitting in the tree stand, on the stalk, in the bottomlands, on top of the mountains shivering, sweating and soggy moments figuring out what something really does and why and what we can do to make it hunt better.
