Alright, after a real true test of GAMEHIDE’S RUBLINE jacket this past weekend I’m ready to give an opinion of this jacket. This jacket is from their HyperHide series. This past weekend while in Hoven, SD pheasant hunting in some colder temps and stiff winterly winds, Stacie and I were both very impressed with the RUBLINE jacket’s ability to not only keep you warm, but also to bloclk and shut out that wind completely while remaining very comfortable and absolutely whisper quiet. This past weekend, I wore was a long sleeve shirt on underneath the RUBLINE jacket, with my bird vest on over the top and stayed warm and comfortable the entire weekend out hunting those wiley South Dakota Roosters. When the sun did happen to peak out on Saturday, it did get a little warm (above freezing) and both Staice and I were able to adjust and use the AirFlow zippers in the arm pits to ventilate and keep cool and dry while on the move. This jacket comes in 3 different camouflage patterns including my favorite “Naked North”, but Stacie and I wore the jacket in the Loden color this past weekend. The RUBLINE jacket has a draw cord at the waist plus inner cuffs on the wrists seal out cold drafts, zippered hand warmer pockets, plus large internal pocket bags on zippered chest pockets hold lots of gear but keep a clean front that won’t interfere with your bow string, it also has a rear zip storage pocket. To top it all off it even has call loops for right and left hand shooters keep call lanyards away from bow string. Just like GAMEHIDE’s TYPHOON RAIN GEAR series I reviewed earlier this year, this HyperHide series is very detail oriented with the Hunter and Outdoors person in mind. I think this jacket would appeal to the bird hunter, bowhunter, gun hunter and outdoors enthusiast a like. Both Stacie and I have worn our RUBLINE jackets out on those cold nights on Mille Lacs this Fall, Pheasant Hunting on those cold afternoons, and even in every day life situations. We couldn’t be more pleased with the looks and performance of this jacket.
I have tried all different types of Wind stopping material and products in jackets, shirts, sweatshirts, etc. This HYPERHIDE material and the RUBLINE jacket is by far the best jacket I have ever worn for comfort, regulating my body temperature, being ultra quiet and knocking down that nasty cold winterly wind that robs my body of it’s warmth on those cold days in the field. Those are exactly the qualities I look for in my hunting but in particularly my bow-hunting clothes. I look forward to using the RUBLINE this Fall hunting and my long sits in the stand over thee next few months. Without a hesitation I give the HYPERHIDE RUBLINE lineup from GAMEHIDE a 2
and would not go with out it now. A definite must have in any serious hunters closet. They also make the HyperHide Rub-Line series in a 100% waterproof and breathable version called the “DRIZZLE” lineup. Look for future reports on this lineup.
Until next time, have a fun and safe time in the field pursuing your trophy.
