Must-Have Hunting Clothing—Expert Picks
When layering for your hunt, there are a lot of factors to consider—temperature, precipitation, activity level, and more. Whether you’re new to hunting or have been out countless seasons, there are important items of clothing to make sure you have packed. Our Hunting Experts share their must-have pieces of hunting clothing when they head to the fields, marshes, or mountains.
“The SITKA neck gaiter is an overlooked piece of clothing that goes with me on every mid to late-season hunt. It keeps me comfortable and extends my hunt and season.”
~ Seth | Hunting Season: Waterfowl
“The Hill Country Pants from SCHEELS Outfitters are my go-to clothing when upland hunting and even as everyday wear. The durability, water repellency, and four-way stretch allow for comfort, easy movement, and protection from the elements on any adventure!”
~ Tate | Hunting Season: Upland
“I wore the SITKA Intercept Pants out on my most recent elk hunt and loved the versatile design to keep me comfortable during cooler mornings while being able to dump excess heat when mid-day hiking. With removable knee pads, durable material, cargo pockets with silent snaps, and zippered hip vents, these hunting pants have every detail you need to stay comfortable.”
~ Luke | Hunting Season: Big Game
“I was truly surprised how much I liked the SITKA Equinox Turkey Vest. Lightweight and low profile with enough storage options to organize calls, tags, water/snacks, and even an extra layer. The seat worked really well too!”
~ Jon | Hunting Season: Turkey
“The SCHEELS Outfitters Ultralight Long Sleeve is my go-to shirt when dove hunting; I have it in both camo patterns. At the beginning of the season, the moisture-wicking design with odor control keeps me from sweating out. Later in the season, it is a great layer for fall days that are chilly in the morning and warm in the afternoon.”
~ Cody | Hunting Season: Dove
“Since the SCHEELS Outfitters Churchill Merino Long Sleeve is 100% Merino wool, it’s soft, warm, and doesn’t get clammy when I sweat. It’s a base layer but I can also wear it over a t-shirt so it’s more like a quarter-zip sweater.”
