Our verdict
RedHead is Bass Pro Shops' own label for hunting clothing, and its strength is value. The blaze cap and vest combo we tested costs less than a box of shells and did exactly what blaze should: kept two young hunters visible all morning on a shared logging road. RedHead also makes insulated parkas, bibs and fleece that Bass Pro shoppers rate highly. For outfitting a whole hunting party, especially new and young hunters, it is one of the first places we'd look.
Background
RedHead is the house brand of Bass Pro Shops, the outdoor retailer that also owns Cabela’s. In Canada you’ll find it in Bass Pro and Cabela’s stores and on their websites. The range runs from basic blaze safety gear — caps, vests and toques — to full insulated hunting outerwear, fleece and layers for men, women and young hunters.
How we use RedHead
Our first RedHead review is the Men’s Blaze Cap/Vest Combo, worn on a morning deer glassing hunt from a high logging ridge in the Chehalis country of BC’s Fraser Valley. It scored 4.5 out of 5. The post includes an illustrated map of the ridge and cutblocks, a cross-section showing morning thermals, a glassing-grid tool on our own photo and mule deer glassing tips.
What to know before buying
RedHead’s blaze basics are simple, one-size kit — great value, but without the pockets, fit and features of a technical hunting vest. Check your province’s or state’s blaze requirements: some places specify a minimum area of blaze or a blaze hat, and rules differ between jurisdictions.
Bottom line
For cheap, visible, practical gear that every member of a hunting party can wear, RedHead is hard to beat. Start with the blaze cap/vest combo.
