The ultimate cross-functional gear for land management and the early season hunt
MUSKEGON, MI – There is a distinct line between preparing the land and hunting it, but the gear you wear shouldn't force you to choose. Hunters are workers first. Before the stand is climbed, chainsaws clear lanes, heavy equipment stacks timber, and sweat is poured into the dirt. Blocker Outdoors® answers this dual reality by pairing the proven Shield Reliant Pant with the Shield Reliant Shirt, creating a rugged, lightweight system built to serve both masters.
The Reliant series is designed to withstand the abrasive, locomotive demands of preseason land management, while retaining the technical performance, comfort, and scent prevention required when the season opens.
"We built this series for the guy who doesn't separate work from hunting," said Blocker Outdoors Marketing Director, Steve Allie. "The poly-spandex double-weave fabric is exceptionally durable against brush and tools, yet lightweight enough to keep you cool when you're clearing trails or running heavy machinery in summer heat."
Advanced Fabric Architecture and Scent Control
To survive the punishing transition from heavy manual labor to the stealth of the early-season sit, the Reliant series relies on a specialized poly-spandex double-weave fabric. Traditional lightweight hunting apparel often sacrifices durability for breathability, leaving it vulnerable to tearing when clearing brush or operating machinery. The double-weave construction solves this by packing extreme tensile strength and abrasion resistance into an incredibly lightweight profile. Woven with a four-way stretch matrix, the fabric yields completely to aggressive movement, whether pulling a starter cord or climbing in and out of a tractor cab.
Because heavy labor in hot weather creates the ultimate enemy of the hunter—odor—the entire system is armed with proprietary S3® anti-microbial technology. This silver-ion treatment targets and penetrates odor-causing bacteria on contact, disrupting its DNA to stop odor formation before it can even start.
Paired with an advanced moisture-wicking treatment that aggressively pulls sweat away from the skin, the Reliant system regulates temperature during intense physical exertion and keeps the garments fresher for longer stretches in the field.
The Shield Reliant Shirt brings the same heavy-duty, work-ready composition of the Reliant line to the upper body. Engineered to withstand the friction of land management and yardwork, this shirt ditches the fragile feel of typical early-season tops in favor of a rugged poly-spandex double weave. It breathes dynamically while its built-in moisture-wicking technology pulls sweat away during intense physical labor, while the tailored fit ensures it stays out of the way of your equipment and your bowstring.

The cornerstone of Blocker's lightweight lineup, the Shield Reliant Pant is built to fit like a comfortable, everyday casual pant while delivering the athletic mobility needed for rigorous outdoor work. The four-way stretch poly-spandex material allows for unrestricted crouching, kneeling, and climbing. When temperatures soar or you're working hard in the field, integrated side-seam zip vents provide instant, on-the-fly cooling. Despite its lean, breathable profile, the fabric's double weave is exceptionally durable against briars and brush, and the cut leaves just enough room to layer underneath if the work or the hunt pushes deeper into the midseason.
