Get into Gear With New Photography Clothing From Stealth Gear!

Stealth Gear, the UK’s leading provider of dedicated photography clothing, is in the process of launching three brand new products to add to their ever growing portfolio of products.

The Extreme Photographers Jacket Vest, Extreme Photographers Smock and Extreme Photographers Trousers are the brand new additions to their catalogue of products especially designed for photographers and bird watchers. Because of their forest green colours, they are made to blend in well with nature surroundings to keep you well camouflaged and capture the best photographs possible.

Releasing in May 2010, the Extreme Photographers Jacket Vest promises to be extremely versatile and an all-rounder in terms of its functionality. It has taken some of the better features from the original Extreme Photographers Jacket and Extreme Photographers Vest and combined them all to create the ultimate jacket.

Some of the new and exciting features on the new jacket include two expandable lens pockets with removable anti-shock padding, conveniently positioned so that they allow backpack straps to go behind the pockets to keep the backpack steady. It also features zip-off arms to turn it into a summer vest during those hot summer months, padding added to the shoulders with anti slip camera grips on both sides and a detachable wired peak hood. It comes with a detachable light shade hood and an insect repellent face mesh to keep those pesky pests at bay! With an RRP of £229.99, this sturdy jacket is made from 100 per cent polyester which is DuPont Teflon treated to repel dirt, water and other unwanted stains.

The Extreme Photographers Smock is an ideal jacket for when you are out walking with your camera and the lens keeps bouncing against your chest, creating an uncomfortable journey. With Stealth Gear’s new smock, this is a thing of the past! It features a large pocket with anti-shock padding at the front which allows you to place a camera with a lens or binoculars mounted in the pocket while you walk. The pocket also has removable padding to protect the lens and is floating to again, allow the straps of your backpack to go behind the pocket to keep it steady. The Smock’s RRP is £199.99 and will be available to buy from May – just in time for the summer season!

Finally the Extreme Photographers Trousers are perfect for photographers who like to crouch down low to capture their subjects, but do not want to get their knees and bottoms wet and dirty. The trousers feature four accessory pockets ideal to carry valuables in, one dual CF memory card holder, two press stud small lens or accessory side pockets and two bellowed press stud accessory rear pockets.

Extremely stylish and practical the new photographers’ trousers are modelled on the original ones with added features and benefits, such as the high quality waterproof outer shell, two accessory loops on the side to attach pouches and removable internal gaiters to avoid unwanted wind and leaves coming through. The trousers also feature removable knee pads to avoid discomfort when getting down low to photograph your subjects. With an RRP of £89.99 and releasing in May, these innovative trousers are versatile and suitable for activities in any kind of weather.

Stealth Gear to Launch New Range of Photography Clothing

It can be frustrating when you are out photographing, when your camera is constantly hitting your chest. Over a period of time this can get painful, especially if the camera is hitting the same spot over and over again. Leading outdoor photography clothing specialists Stealth Gear have launched a new product designed to provide just the solution to this problem.

The Stealth Gear Extreme Photographers Smock features a large anti-shock padded pocket at the front, protecting not only the camera and lens, but also your chest. The padding can be removed when not needed and the pocket is floating, which means the waist and hip straps of your camera backpack can go behind the pocket, giving you more support.

Along with this main pocket, this handy photographer’s jacket has a number of smaller pockets including an expandable padded lens pocket. It also includes padding on the shoulders and elbows with anti-slip camera strap grips on both sides to avoid your camera strap falling down, a detachable light shade hood to keep strong sunlight out and an insect repellent mesh face net to keep away those annoying pests.

The jacket also features a large rear pocket, comfortable mesh lining, zipped side panels and under arm vents to keep you fresh and cool all day long. The outside of the jacket is made from 100 per cent polyester micro suede which is DuPont Teflon treated to repel dirt, water marks and unwanted stains with TPU lamination and 24-hour breath ability. It is a beautiful forest green colour to help you blend into your surroundings, and all pockets are fully waterproof to keep your equipment safe. The suit costs £199.99 and will be available to buy in July 2010 – just in time for the summer!

Craig Derbyshire from the photography clothing accessories company said: “This is one of our best products yet. As well as protecting your camera and equipment, the suit also boasts a wide variety of features so you can make the best of your photography session. We have designed this smock for outdoor photographers; however it is also ideal for bird watchers with binoculars as you can store your binoculars in the large protective pouch while you walk.”

Stealth Gear - Protecting the Wildlife they Photograph

Everyone is affected by crimes against wildlife. They damage the beauty of the world around us as well as endanger our natural resources. Offences range from poisoning birds of prey and removing wild plants from their native habitat to poaching and even badger baiting. Wildlife photography clothing specialists, Stealth Gear have generously sponsored Scottish wildlife crime officer Constable Craig Borthwick in a bid to protect the wildlife that is the subject of many of their photographs.

After discovering that PC Borthwick, sadly, has to deal with wildlife crime on regular basis, Stealth Gear provides him with the camouflage hide he needs to subtly patrol his wildlife beat. Primarily made for outdoor photography, the suits are a safe, practical way in which PC Borthwick can perform his duties without disturbing the wildlife he strives to protect.

By sponsoring the constable, Stealth Gear have a prime ‘test dummy’ when it comes to new trying new photography clothing products in the field. A spokesperson for the company said ‘PC Borthwick encounters similar and sometimes more demanding situations to which our consumers will be placed under, it is useful to have a-non photographer opinion on the endurance quality of the product as well as the practicality’

PC Borthwick happily endorses the range that Stealth Gear provides; “I require equipment and clothing that is built to last, can handle a wide variety of testing terrains and protects me from the elements to allow me to concentrate on the demands of my job. I’ve used Stealth Gear camouflage hides for some time now in operational and protracted situations.”

The importance of using camouflage hides whilst practising outdoor photography benefits both the surrounding wildlife and yourself. By disappearing, you are protecting yourself from wildlife predators, and more curious animals in which your presence may upset their natural routine. You can allow the wildlife to continue naturally around you, which, as an outdoor photographer, is the initial intention for each photograph.

The constable has provided Stealth Gear with honest reviews of their outdoor photography clothing collection available to read on their website at www.stealth-gear.com. For more information on the products, or to become a distributer, contact the company via telephone on O845 652 0034 or email on sales@stealth-gear.com.

It is made from 100 per cent polyester 190T PVC and is 100 per cent waterproof, as well as being able to fold down to a very compact size with a carry bag.
