Beat 90° heat with the First Lite Trace Quarter Zip (Specter)—ultralight 5 oz KineticGrid™ top with HeiQ Pure odor control, deep vent zip, and bino-harness friendly pockets.
When humidity spikes and temps sit in the 90s, the Trace Quarter Zip keeps you hunting. Purpose-built for hot, early-season whitetail and pronghorn hunts, it pairs ultralight KineticGrid™ fabric with rapid dry times, high airflow, and reliable odor control. The result is a silent, breathable layer that stays comfortable from truck to tree or blind.
A low-profile collar and a deep quarter zip add sun/bug protection and maximum ventilation. Dual side-dump chest pockets remain accessible under a bino harness, while an articulated, athletic cut moves with you on climbs, crawls, and long sits.
