Aptitude With Attitude

TUO Aptitude Pant tailormade for stalking high country bulls and bottomland bucks.

Technologyโ€™ might not be top-of-mind when you buy a pair of hunting pants, but in the modern marketplace, it should beโ€ฆ No doubt, a stiff pair of tarp-like pants will deny thistle, beggar-ticks, and sticker grass, but at the cost of immobility and sweat unimaginable. Farmers donโ€™t much wear them anymore, either. 

Proper hunting pants are now readily available. The challenge is deciphering the claimed features and benefits to determine what will be the best performer and deserving of your hard earned dollars.

TUO can say with assuredness that their Aptitude Softshell Pant is worthy of your investment. TUO scours the global market for the most innovative materials, fabrics, patterns, and manufacturing techniques to keep you comfortable and protected in the toughest conditions, and that diligence is evident in the Aptitude Softshell Pant.

FOUNDED ON FABRICS

Like all TUO creations, fabric selection is cornerstone to how a garment ultimately performs in the field. The Aptitude Softshell Pant is founded on an exceptional 4-way stretch fabric with unmatched mobility and a perfect fit. The pliable yet durable fabric is composed of 94.5% polyester and 5.5% spandex, the hint of spandex providing the right amount of give at the right time. Moreover, TUOโ€™s 4-way stretch fabric is deadly quiet, dampening your presence in the field when silence is golden.

Despite the fabricโ€™s soft feel, itโ€™s also windproof. TUO incorporated its AeroGuardโ„ข windproof membrane to break breezes without adding any bulk to maintain the Aptitude Softshell Pantโ€™s signature freedom of motion.

Buffering the pantโ€™s windproof capacity is a specialized treatment that helps shed moisture and prevent staining.   Internally, a fleece grid lining fortifies warmth and comfort for trekking in cold conditions. But with warmth comes the inevitability of perspiration. TUO thought about that as well. The Aptitude Softshell Pant wears remarkably dry and comfortable, unwanted moisture wicked away. 

POLYGIENE TECHNOLOGY

TUO didnโ€™t stop there, instead summoning two advanced fabric technologies: Polygiene StayFreshโ„ข and OdorCrunchโ„ข. Polygiene StayFresh antibacterial technology prevents bacteria from growing on fabrics and textiles, so they donโ€™t smell. Less odor means less washing, saving water, energy and wear and tear so products last longer and need to be replaced less frequently. Polygiene StayFresh is based on silver chloride, a salt that is naturally present in water and soil. The silver ions in the salt make it impossible for the bacteria responsible for bad smells to multiply, stopping odor.

Polygiene OdorCrunch odor control technology is a practical and eco-friendly solution to the problem of lingering odors on clothing and fabrics. Smoke, food, and body odors become ingrained into the fibers of textiles. Polygiene OdorCrunch works as a natural anti-odor treatment by capturing, โ€˜crunching,โ€™ and permanently removing odors using natural silica particles, the primary component of common sand.

Not only does this keep clothing and fabrics smelling fresher for longer, but it reduces the amount of washing required. This reduces water usage, and the amount of detergent and energy spent on laundry. It makes fabrics last longer, creating eco-friendly clothes.

SPECIALIZED FEATURES

TUO next merged these technologies with fit and function. First, the knees are sewn and stitched with articulation for improved dexterity and mobility. The knees donโ€™t bunch or restrict when you kneel to get a better shot or flip a steak over the campfire. Moreover, TUO added abrasion-resistant knee overlays for added durability.

Donning and doffing boots with standard hunting pants can be arduous, cuffs struggling to accommodate boots. Not the case with TUOโ€™s Aptitude Softshell Pant, which features solid state zippers from cuff to knee.

Plentiful pockets are part of any high functioning hunting pant. The Aptitude Softshell Pant includes six: two waist, two cargo, and two back hip. And, as a bonus, thereโ€™s a nifty knife pocket off your right flank.
