For the outermost layer, he chose a fleece softshell jacket, one of his only two jackets.
"The fabric of this jacket has undergone a special brushed treatment." He demonstrated the surface of the garment to the camera.
"Its fibers are extremely fine and soft, maximally absorbing and dulling sounds, unlike a hard-shell jacket that would emit a crisp 'rustling' sound."
"When tracking wary prey, this kind of difference in detail is the line between success and failure."
