Nomad Gearing Up For Hunting Season
In this episode of the American Outdoor News podcast, we sat down with Mike Tussey, Director of Marketing for Nomad Outdoor, to talk about the brand’s evolution, current product innovations, and what’s ahead for hunters this fall. Mike shared the origins of Nomad, a brand launched in 2015 by former Under Armour employees, and how it has grown under the Marolina Outdoor umbrella. One of the exciting developments discussed was the relaunch of the iconic Mossy Oak New Breakup camouflage pattern, exclusive to Nomad’s fall lineup. With advancements in fabric technology—including cotton canvas blended with spandex for mobility and comfort—Nomad is aiming to blend tradition with modern performance.
Mike dove into the technical side of Nomad’s hunting apparel, spotlighting their new Conifer series designed for late-season conditions, offering windproof, waterproof protection with articulated knees and DWR-treated fabrics. He also discussed the growing trend of saddle and tethered hunting, and shared that Nomad is exploring new gear specifically designed for those applications. Chris offered feedback and safety suggestions, while expressing interest in reviewing upcoming products like versatile field vests, bibs, and merino wool base layers.
The conversation also touched on larger issues affecting hunters today, including the encroachment of public lands for housing developments—an issue Mike has encountered firsthand in Florida. He discussed the controversial but necessary Florida bear hunt, emphasizing the importance of conservation-based wildlife management. In a lighter moment, Mike shared a memorable hunting story involving Donald Trump Jr., the Secret Service, and some unexpected tracking through his mobile phone.
Looking ahead, Nomad has several exciting product launches planned for the fall, including the new Rub Line collection and updates to their Harvester Series. With shared values around ethical hunting, innovation, and supporting America’s outdoor heritage, both parties are looking forward to building a strong partnership in the seasons to come.
