Bakhold is a Norwegian term that literally means "ambush" and is well suited to describe hunting game in the wide open spaces of northern Europe. The Bakhold line, which like the previous one revolves around a jacket/pants combo, is therefore designed to offer maximum protection from rain and wind, as well as being absolutely silent so as not to alarm game during the crucial approach phase. Let's take a look at the features of the main components of the Bakhold outfit and some suggestions for other complementary garments and accessories to select from the Beretta catalog.

Beretta Bakhold apparel for open-space hunting adventures
The Beretta Bakhold 3L jacket, available in green moss and brown bark, features soft and warm fleece panels on the inside that improve thermoregulation in the frequent stop-and-go conditions typical of hunting. Waterproof and breathable, the Bakhold 3L jacket has a close-fitting cut and is equipped with a removable "Easy Movement" hood that ensures the hunter an optimal field of view. The inner collar is lined with warm microfleece. The Bakhold 3L jacket has two chest pockets and two side pockets with YKK zips and a radio pocket with antenna hole. It has underam ventilation zips to prevent overheating and ensure effective breathability. The Bakhold jacket's breathable qualities are enhanced by the BWB (Beretta Waterproof Breathable) EVO membrane. The outer material of the jacket has a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. On the back of the jacket we find a pocket, which also has a YKK zip. Inside the jacket there are "Hands Free" braces that allow the jacket to be worn on the shoulders without keeping the hands busy. The Beretta Bakhold 3L jacket is available in sizes S to 4XL with regular fit and has a list price of 560 euros.
The matching men's Bakhold Pants are made of brushed polyester, with the jacket's same colors (green moss and brown bark) and silent and waterproof qualities. Sizes range from S to 4XL. They have an elasticated waist, YKK zip and snap fastening and inside brace buttons. The side and mid-thigh cargo pockets are also closed with YKK zips as are the ventilation openings that serve to lower the temperature if necessary. The Beretta Bakhold Pants offer the hunter some extra comfort touches such as the ambidextrous knife holder and boot hooks at the bottom of the leg. The price of the Beretta Bakhold Pants is 350 euros.
The other items of the Beretta Bakhold line
Starting with the jacket and pants, you can compose a comfortable and warm otfit by selecting other garments from the Beretta catalog that match perfectly in terms of both aesthetics and functionality. Underneath the Bakhold, for example, you can wear the Halifax Sherpa thermal fleece jacket, choosing the color between green moss, brown bark and ebony (dark grey), with sizes between S and 4XL. Closed by a full-length zip, the Halifax Sherpa jacket is suitable for temperatures from 0 °C to 10 °C and is made of 300 g/sqm fleece with abrasion-resistant polyamide inserts on the chest, shoulders and elbows. It offers optimal thermoregulation, breathability and quick drying and can also be worn under a waterproof jacket or as a main garment. The side pockets have zips while the chest has a radio pocket with antenna hole. The Halifax Sherpa has a regular-size fit and is also available in a ladies' version in sizes Small to 3XL. The price for both variants is 159 euros.
Underneath the fleece you can choose to wear a men's shirt with a check pattern such as the Cadet Flannel, made of recycled polyester and Elastane blend with a double patch chest pocket. The chequered shirt, although inspired by the Scottish Tartan, originated in America in the mid-19th century as an item of outdoor workwear, but over the decades it became part of popular culture and became a symbol of rural life to be flaunted with pride. In the Beretta catalog there are four different check options for the Cadet Flannel, from Burgundy played on the contrast between blue and burgundy or Moss, where yellow and black create a weave that evokes country atmospheres. The Cadet Flannel shirt is available in sizes S to XL at a price of 89 euros.
If you are planning a long march in search of the wild, it might be a good idea to equip yourself with a backpack that is compact but with enough capacity to hold everything you need for the adventure. One product for this purpose is the Neo 25L backpack, a perfect balance of capacity, lightness and robustness of materials. Designed to carry and functionally organise all your essentials, it ensures optimal fit for a long day on the move. It is constructed from water-repellent and strong polyester, with a capacity of 25 liters, three side pockets with YKK zip and an upper accessory pocket. The back and shoulder straps are padded. The Beretta Neo 25L backpack can be chosen in green moss or brown bark for 115 euros.
We conclude this overview with an idea for head protection: a classic waterproof cap which won't get soaked in the rain. The same waterproof and breathable EVO membrane as the jacket and trousers is used. Available in green moss, brown bark or black, it is embellished with the Beretta logo in a subdued version. The price is €45.00.
