Waterfowlers, pay attention. We've got the scoop on the latest and greatest gear you need this season.
Browning Wicked Wing High Pile Hooded Jacket
This soft-shell mid-weight jacket provides the warmth, comfort and mobility you need to swing a shotgun during long days in the blind. High-pile fleece interior and fleece-lined hood keeps your core from cooling down. Upper pockets are also fleece lined to bring life back to cold hands. Water resistant front zipper and elastic cuffs keep moisture from getting through. Available in Realtree Max-5 and Realtree Timber camo patterns. MSRP: $99.99; browning.com.
Original Pinteal Controller
Ditch the little remotes and control your spinning-wing motorized decoys right from your smartphone with the Original Pinteal Bluetooth controller. Turn them on and off, set a timer and control the speed of multiple decoys by attaching a Pinteal wiring harness and downloading the Pinteal app. Harness systems integrate with nearly any make and model of decoy, providing you a 70-yard control range. MSRP: $64.99; pinteal.com.

Hunt the season from start to finish in one wader with this versatile chest rig from Frogg Toggs.
