First Light's white-tail kits were made for the long haul and built to perform in the late

season cold, trusted by hunters who demand more from their gear.

The thermic kit is our cold weather workhorse.

It'll keep you in the game when the temps dropped to 20 and well below. So don't let

the season give you the slip. Finish strong with a system that delivers when it matters most.

Built to perform, built to last. Check out the full lineup at firstlight.com. That's
