Browning Full Curl Wins American Hunter 2011 Golden Bullseye Award.

Browning is proud to announce that our Full Curl Wool 3-in-1 Parka has been chosen by the staff of American Hunter Magazine as the top product of the "gear" category -- giving it a 2011 NRA Bullseye Award.

This is a very prestigious award that is difficult to get -- primarily due to the number of entries and the extreme scrutiny given the entries by the American Hunter Magazine experts.

In addition to the trophy, Browning  and the Full Curl Wool 3-in-1 Parka will be featured in an editorial overview of the Golden Bullseye in the May issue of American Rifleman and American Hunter, and the June issue of Shooting Illustrated magazines If you are an NRA member you will and get American Hunter, you will want to watch out for that issue.

What is the Browning Full Curl line of outdoor clothing?

First there was wool, supremely versatile yet itchy. Then came non-itch wool blends that were just as versatile but more comfortable to wear. Now, Browning has taken wool to an even higher level with Full Curl Wool, and this wonder fabric has never been more comfortable and effective against the elements.

Full Curl combines a durable 7 oz. wool blend outer fabric with the latest technologies like a proven WindKill™ windproof and water-resistant lamination and soft tricot liner for the ultimate wool fabrication. Fleece side panels are added to increase breathability. The 3-in-1 Parka relies upon another of nature’s wonders, down, to provide insulation in the removable liner. The rugged, time-honored performance of wool makes new Full Curl ideal for nearly all conditions, terrains and activity levels.
