MUSKEGON, MI (July 1, 2026) – More than three decades ago, Bill Jordan revolutionized the hunting industry by sketching the first true-to-life bark patterns in his backyard and forever changed how hunters interact with the wild. Today, that legacy of relentless innovation takes its next monumental leap forward.
In a powerhouse move, ScentLok is going all-in on Realtree’s wild new XT-3 pattern, dropping it onto more than half of their entire new product introductions. This massive joint effort unites the undisputed pioneer of visual deception with the gold standard of olfactory stealth and apparel design. The new look immediately takes over ScentLok’s most elite technical gear, headlined by the Savanna Fuse, Ridge, and BE:1 collections.
Visual Chaos
Modern camouflage design continues to advance, hitting a new peak of visual deception with Realtree XT-3. The Realtree team deployed an abstract foundation built on geometric lines, layered organic textures, and strategically placed color breaks. It actively shatters the human outline through sharp angles and fractured shapes that perfectly mimic the visual chaos found in diverse environments.
By pairing this highly adaptable, multi-location pattern with ScentLok’s heavy-hitting fabrics, the collaboration gives faithful bow and gun hunters an unmatched tactical advantage that adapts to changing light, distance, and habitat conditions.
The Multi-Terrain Hunter
“Putting a Realtree pattern on more than half of our new lineup isn’t a small decision,” said Steve Allie, ScentLok Marketing Director. “Bill Jordan and his team have spent decades figuring out how to make hunters vanish. By combining their new XT-3 design with our technical fabrics, we’re giving guys a system that covers them visually and stops their scent from giving them away. It’s just a damn good combination.”
The pattern is engineered specifically for hunters who demand both the depth of traditional timber and the raw performance of modern macro-disruption. By breaking up the human outline across varying distances, heights, and light conditions, it thrives whether pinned against a mature treestand bark matrix or buried deep in a dense ground blind.
Full-Season Fleet Ready
The Realtree XT-3 pattern spans everything from early-season lightweight apparel and next-to-skin base layers to late-season outerwear and essential accessories. The complete suite of gear—including the flagship Savanna Fuse™ and Ridge™ series—is available now. To explore the entire collection and secure your gear, visit the ScentLok Realtree XT-3 Collection.
