By the time they realize they should, it’s often too late. TETRA™, a new player in the outdoor industry, is here to change those statistics, from comfortable protection when waterfowl hunting or shooting on the range, to targeted enhancement of an elk’s bugle or a wild turkey’s gobble.

TETRA founders Bill Dickinson, Au.D., and David Gnewikow, Ph.D., combined their 50 years in the hearing-care industry and 80 years of hunting experience to provide outdoors men and women with innovative hearing products like TETRA’s new AlphaShield and AmpPods.

The rescued boaters were brought to Pohnpei to meet emergency medical personnel for evaluation, reportedly arriving in good health despite drifting for 145 hours.

Buford, GA – No matter how much rain gear anglers and hunters employ, feet seem to inevitably get wet and cold. Whether fishing in inclement conditions or sitting in a clammy duck blind, keeping feet dry and warm is always a challenge. The usual suspects – cotton or wool socks – both absorb water like a sponge. Most so-called waterproof socks lack breathability, and can make matters even worse.

Cutting the day short due to cold or wet feet is never a good thing. Thankfully, GILL offers an ideal solution in its new, high-performance waterproof and breathable socks. These premium performers are available in two versatile lengths for boot or low-top shoe wear, and are designed specifically for the challenging environments and conditions anglers and hunters face on a regular basis.

For boot-wear, the new GILL Waterproof Boot Sock is a godsend. Designed to pull up to the area just below the knee, their waterproof and wicking capabilities extend exactly where needed when wearing boots of all kinds. They’re manufactured with a durable nylon outer layer and a 50% merino thermal inner with wicking capability to treat your feet to incredibly warm and dry performance. Read more
