Early Season System
The Kit
Description
Made for those 70°+ days when most guys tap out.
Early season doesn’t give you many breaks — it’s hot, humid, and everything in the woods is alive and alert. If your gear isn’t working with you, it’s working against you.
The ASIO Gear Early Season System is designed to keep you cool, quiet, and locked in when the temperature climbs. It was built in the mosquito-thick swamps of South Carolina, where the heat’s relentless and the humidity wraps around you like a wet blanket. If it holds up there, it’ll perform anywhere.
This 3-piece system is built for bowhunters who want maximum breathability, zero bulk, and total stealth.
Specs
Built in South Carolina
If it works here, it'll work where you hunt.
Our season opens August 15 in the South Carolina swamps. Heat, humidity you can lean on, and mosquitoes that never got the memo about sunset. That's not a bad day for us. That's every day.
What we test it against
Your opener might be September at sixty-five. Doesn't matter. This was built for the worst — so whenever yours turns scorching, it's already handled.

Straight answers
Before you buy it
01What temperature is this system actually for?
The hot end of your season. Seventy degrees and up, when the sit is more about managing heat than holding it.
Our opener is August 15 in the South Carolina swamps — ninety degrees, humidity you can lean on, bugs that never quit. That's what this was built against. Once your afternoons settle into the fifties and sixties for good, you're into Mid Season territory.
02How does sizing work on a four-piece system?
You pick your size on each piece separately, so a large top with a medium pant is no problem. Order your typical size in each — nothing here is cut to be layered over.
And if it shows up and something isn't right — we'll send you a prepaid label to exchange it. You shouldn't have to guess at this from a size chart.
03Do I really need gloves and a hat in ninety-degree weather?
Your hands and your face are the two things that move and the two things that catch light. In the heat they're also the two things most hunters leave uncovered.
Both pieces in this system are built light enough that you'll forget they're on. That's the point — cover that stays comfortable is cover you'll actually wear at seven o'clock in September.
04I don't hunt the South. Is this overkill for my early season?
Your opener might be September at sixty-five, and that's a fine place to hunt this. It was built for the worst of ours, so whenever yours turns scorching, it's already handled.
Every season has those afternoons. This is the setup that keeps you hunting through them instead of waiting them out.
05Why buy the system instead of the pieces?
Because it's complete. Head, hands, top and bottom, all built for the same conditions and meant to work together.
Warm-weather setups usually fall apart at whatever piece you skipped. This is the whole thing in one go, with your size picked on each piece.
