Blocker Outdoors’ Shield™ Silentec Jacket and Pant now available in Realtree AB1
Since its debut in 2019, the Silentec series has become one of the most trusted names in the Blocker Outdoors lineup, built on a foundation of lightweight, technical, athletic fabric that moves like performance gear and hunts like a ghost — a reputation reflected in its 4.8-star rating on blockeroutdoors.com. Now that legacy gets a fresh look. Blocker Outdoors is rolling the Shield™ Silentec Jacket and Pant out in Realtree AB1.
Deadly Quiet, Deadly Simple The Silentec exterior is built from 100% smooth polyester micro-fleece — and that smoothness is the whole point. Most fleece has a texture to it, a grain that catches on branches, brushes against a bow riser, or rubs against itself when you shift in the stand. Silentec doesn’t. The fabric was engineered specifically to eliminate that friction, which means no scratch, no rustle, no crinkle when you draw back, reach for your pack, or settle in against a tree trunk. For turkey hunters easing into position on a bird that’s already hung up, or whitetail hunters trying not to blow a shot at fifteen yards, that kind of silence isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s the whole point of the garment.
Hexagonal Fleece Liner Warmth is easy. Warmth without weight is the hard part, and that’s where the hexagonal fleece liner earns its keep. Instead of relying on thick, heavy insulation to hold in body heat, Blocker Outdoors built the liner in a honeycomb structure that traps warm air in small, efficient pockets rather than stacking on bulk. The payoff shows up hours into a sit: you’re not shedding layers to stay mobile, and you’re not sacrificing warmth to stay light. It’s the difference between a jacket that keeps you warm and one that keeps you warm and lets you still draw a bow, shoulder a shotgun, or climb unencumbered.
S3® Technology Scent control usually gets talked about in terms of sprays and washes, but Silentec builds it straight into the fabric. S3® silver antimicrobial technology works by binding silver ions to the surface of odor-causing bacteria on contact, then disrupting the microbe’s DNA before it can multiply, which is the actual source of that stale, sour smell that builds up in hunting gear over a season of wear. Stop the bacteria, stop the odor at the source, rather than just masking it after the fact. The result is a garment that stays fresher wear after wear, and a hunter whose scent profile stays lower for longer in the field. One more variable removed on a hunt where the animal only must be right once.
Built for the Moment, Not Just the Season
Whether it’s a cool spring morning chasing turkeys in Kansas or a raw, windy sit during the Missouri rut, the Silentec Jacket is designed to disappear into the moment with you. A three-piece adjustable hood keeps the wind out without blocking your line of sight, rounding out a jacket built to move with you, not against you. “Silentec has always been about giving hunters one less thing to think about in the stand,” said Blocker Outdoors Marketing Director, Steve Allie. “Realtree AB1 gives them a pattern that matches how versatile this jacket already is, working across seasons, across terrain, across just about every hunt on the calendar.”

The Silentec Pant rounds out the system. Articulated knees and an elastic rear waistband deliver a fit that moves with you, not against you, while six pockets — two waist, two rear, two cargo — mean gear is always within reach. “We built the pant to be the jacket’s other half,” added Allie. “Same silence, same warmth, same odor control, and now in a pattern that gives hunters even more reason to trust this system head to toe.”
