Many brands focused on better-insulating hunting apparel this season. Across the board, brands stepped up their game to produce not only warm and lightweight pieces but also more durable and weather-resistant materials.
Our team of nine tested over 100 pieces of hunting apparel in a variety of conditions, from the chilly woods of Nebraska to the snow-capped mountains of Alaska and the high-altitude wilderness of Colorado. We tested gear while hunting birds (including both waterfowl and upland hunting), deer, bear, and barbary sheep, in tree stands, on ground blinds, while bow hunting, and pack hunting.
Updated for Autumn and Winter 2025: I’ve completely recompiled this list with picks from a new round of testing.
