Smith Outdoors Elk Crest Quarter-Zip Pullover – Trail Tan

Built for the 5 a.m. walk to the stand and the coffee run after, the Elk Crest Quarter-Zip is the layer you reach for when the air turns sharp. We cut it in a warm trail tan that hides Georgia red clay, pairs with camo or jeans, and lets the white embroidered Smith Outdoors crest pop clean on the chest.

This is not a bulky hoodie. It is a midweight, brushed-back fleece with a smooth face and a soft inside, so you get warmth without the weight. The quarter-zip collar seals heat when you need it and vents fast when you are hauling gear. The fit is athletic through the shoulders, relaxed through the body, made to move, sit, glass, and drive without riding up.

People buy it for the logo, they keep wearing it for the feel.

Why it works

• Signature Elk Crest logo: White high-density embroidery, not a cheap print. Elk, pines, and mountains framed in the classic Smith Outdoors badge. It holds up to wash after wash.
• Quarter-zip with stand collar: Zip up for wind on the ridge, zip down when the sun hits. Metal zipper with an easy-grip pull, even with gloves.
• Two hidden hand-warmer pockets: Deep, vertical, lined. Keeps hands warm and phones out of the weather.
• All-day fleece: Brushed interior traps heat, smooth exterior sheds light brush and dog hair. Quiet fabric, no swish when you shoulder a rifle or bow.
• Built to work: Ribbed cuffs and hem lock in warmth, reinforced stitching at stress points, no pill fabric that looks tired after one season.
• Color that earns its keep: Trail Tan is neutral, outdoors-ready, and does not show every stain from camp chores.

Wear it for

Deer camp mornings, duck blind coffee, tractor work, bonfires, tailgates, hardware store runs, and the brewery after. It looks clean enough for town because it was designed in the South for guys who live outside but still have to show up presentable.

Fit & Care

True to size for a layered fit. If you want room for a heavy base layer or you are between sizes, size up. Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. The embroidery stays crisp, the color stays true.

Smith Outdoors started as a family name on a cooler and a promise to make gear that actually gets used. The Elk Crest Quarter-Zip is that promise in fleece form. Grab yours in Trail Tan now, it is the piece you will steal from your own closet all fall.
