How to Layer for Hunting

Dressing in layers is one of the biggest ways to stay comfortable while hunting. Depending on the weather and temperature, you may need more layers to stay warmer.

Base Layer

Start with a moisture-wicking base layer. The fabric wicks sweat away from the body, keeping you dry and warm.

Thermal underwear is a great base layer for hunting.

Middle Layer

Your middle layer should consist of a camouflage long sleeve shirt or sweatshirt.

A fleece is another great option. It’s lightweight and breathable, but you can still wear it as an outer layer if the weather is warm enough.

Outer Layer

Camouflage or blaze orange hunting jackets come next.

When you’re looking at hunting jackets, you need to choose the appropriate color. Blaze orange jackets are perfect for deer hunting. You can wear camo jackets, too, but with a blaze orange safety vest. You can wear camo jackets for waterfowl hunting without any blaze orange.

Depending on your state and the type of hunting you’ll be doing, there are different amounts of required blaze orange that needs to be worn. If you’re unsure of how much you’ll need to wear, check with your local DNR for blaze orange requirements.

If you’re looking to keep your legs warm and dry, layer up with hunting bibs or coveralls.

Hunting Accessories

There are also a few different accessories you’ll need while hunting. They’ll keep you warm, safe, and protected.

Hat

Not only does a hunting hat keep your head warm, it can keep you safe, too. Most states require that at least 50% of your hunting hat is blaze orange.

If it’s going to be particularly cold or windy, you could even get a face mask to stay extra warm.

Gloves

Hunting gloves can come with all sorts of features, such as palm grips and spandex trigger fingers. Plus, they’ll keep your hands nice and toasty while you’re waiting in the woods.

Socks

Hunting socks have a few purposes. They can keep your feet warm and dry inside your hunting boots.

Some hunting socks also come with scent elimination technology, perfect for helping you hide from your prey.

Boots

Hunting boots are meant to keep your feet warm and dry while trudging through varying terrain. Choose hunting boots that are made of rubber or waterproof material.

Things to Keep in Mind

When shopping for hunting clothes, there are a few other things to keep in mind, such as the environment you’ll be in.

Weather

Remember to check the forecast of where you’ll be hunting before you go. Bring rain gear and extra warm clothes if you think you’ll need them.

Terrain

It’s also important to know your terrain when you’re choosing camouflage. Look for camouflage patterns that match the terrain.

Scent Elimination

Before and after you go hunting, wash your hunting clothes in scent eliminating detergent. It will help you stay more hidden from your prey.

While clothing isn’t the only part of being a successful hunter, the right pieces can help your chances of bagging big game. At Blain’s Farm & Fleet, you can get all the hunting clothes you’ll need.
