As a whitetail hunter, most instances in the wild call for stealth and quiet. I was elated when the Shift Series came out and couldn’t wait to put it to use. The material is ultra quiet and the suit is absolutely comfortable for those all-day sits. Kings nailed the pocket layout. Having the vest as an option is ideal for those days that are a little warmer, or to use as a body layer without too much on your arms. This suit is perfect for the midwest whitetail hunter! I’ll be living in it for most of the season.Clayton Coyle

Hunting deer in the rugged Eastern mountains demands gear that can adapt to the changing weather patterns throughout bow and gun seasons. The Shift Series delivers. It’s dead silent, totally windproof, and locks in heat for all-day sits in cold temps. The fit is perfect for layering, and the XK7 pattern blends seamlessly into oak ridges and late-season brush. I’ve hunted bucks in swirling winds and steep draws, and this is the first system I truly forget I’m wearing. This is built perfectly for my hunting style.Jacob Belinda
FAQs
The Shift Series is built specifically for unpredictable conditions and demands of the whitetail woods - offering windproof performance, quiet movement, and flexible layering options. Unlike standard lines, every piece is engineered with a bonded membrane that blocks wind while maintaining breathability and comfort through temperature changes.
Yes. The Shift Series is designed to work across seasons. In early fall, wear base + Shift outer layers; as temps drop, add insulation layers underneath. The system is tuned to let you adapt without buying separate kits for each season.
The Shift fabric uses a noise-dampening bonded fleece exterior to minimize rustle or movement sounds. It’s tested in field conditions to allow stealthy motion whether you’re glassing, drawing a bow, or moving in the tree stand.
The Shift Series is built for mid to late season hunts, giving you reliable windproof protection in temps ranging from the 50s down into single digits (°F) when layered correctly. In early fall, the lightweight construction works comfortably over a base layer, and as the season progresses, you can add insulation underneath to stay warm in freezing conditions. The versatility of the Shift Series makes it a go-to system across shifting weather and varying activity levels.
Absolutely. The Shift line is fully compatible with the rest of the Kings layering system. You can pair Shift jackets with non-Shift base layers or use the pants, beanie, and gaiter together to build your optimal setup.
