First Lite Winter Tahr Hunting Collection

Winter Tahr

Gear for the Hunt. Not the Hype.

Winter tahr hunting isn’t for the half-hearted.

It’s cold, steep, and unforgiving, but that’s the draw. 

Big bulls in their winter capes, snow on the tops, and long glassing sessions in biting wind.

The margins are fine out there, and the gear you carry matters.

Whether you’re climbing high from the valley floor or flying into the head basins, this is the kind of hunt that tests everything.

This collection pulls together the layers, optics, and cold-weather kit we’d take ourselves.

Gear that holds up when things get rough.

Why We Carry First Lite

We carry First Lite because winter tahr hunting demands more from your gear.

Long climbs in steep country, glassing in sub-zero wind, waiting out snowstorms at camp. You need kit that can handle it all.

First Lite nails that balance: it’s warm without being bulky, breathes when you're moving, and holds heat when you stop.

The merino layers don’t stink after days in the same baselayer, and the outerwear takes a beating without complaint. When you're chasing bulls in full winter capes, you don't get second chances.

Your gear needs to work. First Lite does.
