Brady spent the second half of the season testing the new Eberlestock Alturus Jacket — a lightweight synthetic insulation piece designed for mobility, breathability, and just the right amount of warmth.
In this video, he breaks down the design, real-world use cases, and how this jacket fits into a smart layering system for western hunts.
What You'll Learn:
• Where it fits in a layering system (hint: it’s a hybrid)
• Stretch panels for mobility, fleece-lined pockets, and cinch options
• Performance in cold-but-active conditions like desert sheep hunts
• How it compares to other pieces
• Real-world durability and fit over several weeks of use
