Just so I don’t bury the lead, we (Argali) are making a technical clothing line that will be available in early 2026, and this is my *official* announcement of our clothing line. (For all of you that saw my previous thread on the problems with current hunting clothing brands, this won’t come as a surprise).
The Argali Clothing Project is our approach to creating the most functional, layerable western big game hunting clothing line on the market through an open, transparent R&D process that you get to participate in and follow along as we design, test, build and revise. Sign up for our email list (The Thread), and follow along on this post to participate and provide feedback to us along the way. The link above will also take you to a survey that will help us tremendously, so please take that if you’re so inclined.
The goal is not to make clothing for everyone. Our goal is to make clothing for western backcountry hunters that want premium products that maximize performance and minimize weight with simple, functional designs, premium (quiet) fabrics and proper fit.
GET CLOSER is our motto for the Clothing Project. Ultimately, getting close is always the goal when hunting, and that idea permeates all of the clothing we will make as well as the design of the individual pieces.
Why get into clothing? The original idea for Argali was a clothing company back in 2010 when I was in graduate school. I didn’t know what I know now, nor was I in a position to fund a clothing line back then, but I got really far down the road. In some ways this is like coming back to what I wanted to do from the start.
I will also be using this thread to post photos, design sketches and ask for feedback for the next 6 months at least. So if you are interested in that, sign up for notifications on this thread as well. This thread will also be where Rokslide testers that have sample products will post photos, thoughts and experiences throughout the season.
We have 3 pieces we are going to be releasing first (with a lot more in the works). Two pairs of pants, and a midlayer fleece. I’ll post more about each of them, but here is the cliff notes:
VESPER PANT
Designed to be the ideal archery season pant for warmer weather with a quiet, lightweight 2-way stretch nylon fabric—built for comfort and stealth on early season archery hunts with the ability to use through October.
TOREX PANT
Mid-to-late season pant with quiet, comfortable 4-way stretch polyester fabric. Can be used in September, but built for mid-season performance with the ability to layer under for cold weather hunts.
GUIDE AIR FLEECE
Breathable fleece midlayer with a soft brushed interior and durable face—worn next to skin or over a baselayer. This versatile midlayer has built in air channels between insulating baffles to maximize air and moisture movement for use in a wide variety of environments.
Fire away with any initial thoughts or questions, but I’ll have more to say in the coming months.

. We are trying our best to make the fit for as many people as possible. We won't start out with short leg sizes, but you can always hem pants to make them shorter.
