New Kinetic Merino 150 and Logo Sun Hoodies offer the ultimate technical solutions for summer scouting and trekking
MUSKEGON, MI (May 14, 2026) – While traditional hunting seasons are defined by the calendar, the preparation for a successful harvest never truly stops. TUO is proud to announce the strategic expansion of its technical apparel into the realms of off-season scouting, high-heat hiking, and summer trekking. By anchoring the lineup with the new Kinetic Merino 150 Hoodie and the TUO Logo Sun Hoodie, TUO provides elite gear for adventurers who demand performance 365 days a year.
As temperatures rise, the requirements for gear shift from insulation to breathability, extreme mobility, and superior UV protection. TUO’s expanded warm-weather collection is engineered to ensure the off-season is never an off-performance season.
Natural Evolution Meets Synthetic Shield
Developed following direct input from western big-game hunters seeking a lighter alternative for high-exertion tasks, the Kinetic Merino 150 Hoodie is the ultimate natural-fiber tool. Unlike traditional wool, this hoodie utilizes a sophisticated 18.5-micron fiber diameter—thinner than a human hair—to maximize comfort. Its core-spun construction wraps Merino wool around a nylon core, increasing the garment’s elasticity and durability to withstand the abrasive brush encountered during summer scouting.
For those long days under a relentless sun where synthetic performance is preferred, the TUO Logo Sun Hoodie offers specialized protection with everyday comfort. Built with a soft, brushed poly-spandex fabric, it provides UPF 50 protection and an oversized hood to shield the skin during extreme exposure.
The Versatility Advantage
“The modern outdoorsman doesn’t just exist in a treestand in November,” said Steve Allie, TUO Marketing Director. “Whether you are putting in miles on a trail or glassing for next year’s bull in July, you need gear that breathes with you and stands up to the elements.”
Furthermore, both pieces are designed to carry the hunting lifestyle beyond the field. With athletic fits and moisture-wicking technology, these hoodies function seamlessly as next-to-skin layers in the heat or as light mid-layers when the evening temperature dips.
