Hunting textiles: jackets and trousers

Silence and waterproofing

A hunting garment must be silent: a fabric that rustles or squeaks gives away the hunter when approaching the game. Brushed fabrics, fleece, and softshell are the most discreet. It must also be waterproof and breathable, thanks to a membrane, for long hours of waiting in the rain, and resistant to brambles and undergrowth, with reinforcements at the knees and legs.

• Accessories.

All the gear is gathered on the hunting page.

Camouflage or fluorescent orange

When stalking and approaching, camouflage clothing, with leaf or bark patterns, blends the silhouette into the surroundings. In driven hunts, however, safety requires being seen by other hunters: a vest, jacket, or cap in fluorescent orange is required during collective hunts for large game. Many jackets are reversible, camouflage on one side and orange on the other.

Dressing in layers

Like in the mountains, you dress in layers: a technical base layer that wicks sweat while walking, a fleece that insulates during waiting, and a waterproof jacket that protects against wind and rain. You take off a layer when approaching, when walking and sweating, and put it back on at the post, when still. Waterproof boots and wool socks complete the outfit.

Deals

Good deals can also be found in the deals, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals show the latest collections, and the items shipped in 24h are prepared and sent out within 24 hours. The highlights of the year follow a stable order: the Black Friday at the end of autumn, the end-of-year holidays, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, then the summer sales and back-to-school season.

Frequently asked questions

Is wearing fluorescent orange clothing mandatory for hunting?

In collective hunts for large game, each participant must wear a fluorescent orange vest and headgear. The departmental game management scheme may extend this requirement to other types of hunting.

What hunting trousers are suitable for brambles?

You should choose trousers made of thick fabric with reinforcements at the knees and front of the legs. A water-repellent treatment or membrane keeps them dry in the damp morning grass.

What hunting jacket is suitable for stalking in cold weather?

When stalking, you move very little: the jacket must insulate and remain discreet. A brushed fabric or thick fleece over a warm layer, with a hood, keeps the warmth during long waiting hours.

Which camouflage pattern to choose according to the environment?

A pattern dominated by green, resembling foliage, blends into the undergrowth in spring and summer; a brown pattern, resembling reeds, works in marshes and winter fields. The key remains to break up the silhouette.

How to wash hunting clothes without making them detectable?

You wash them at low temperature with a detergent that is unscented and free from optical brighteners, which would make the fabric more visible. Once dry, you store them away from household odors to avoid alerting the game.
