Clothing & Footwear

Overview

Hunting clothing and footwear have one job: to keep you dry, comfortable, quiet, and reasonably hidden from big game so that you can get close enough for a confident shot. There are dozens of specialized brands that sell hunting clothing, and they range from cheap imports to fantastic American-made pieces. Here in the US, hunters are downright obsessed with camo patterns, so you will see many patterns available. Europeans favor neutral earth tones, which are perfectly acceptable if that is more your style or you’d prefer that your hunting clothes blend in better with everyday activities.

Ultimately, pick clothes and shoes that are within your budget, comfortable, and well-suited for the task at hand. Here are some resources to help guide your choices.
