Buyer's Guide for Hunting Clothes
Choosing the right hunting clothes can make or break a hunt for several reasons. A hunter needs the right clothes to stay comfortable, the proper clothing to blend in and not stand out, also needs suitable clothing to provide them with the necessary advantages for their games. Knowing this information can help you choose the best gear for your next hunt.

What if you have to go hunting in cold weather? Experienced hunters recommend refreshing your equipment with a heated jacket or vest to keep warm and extend time outdoors.
Choosing the right clothes to stay comfortable is the first and foremost priority. If you cannot complete your hunt due to overheating or succumbing to the cold, you won’t be able to harvest your game successfully. Making sure you choose the right clothes for the conditions you find yourself in.
For waterfowl, you will most commonly want clothing that will keep you dry. Waterproof clothing that also can keep you both warm and dry is helpful.
When hunting whitetail deer, water-resistant clothing can be helpful. Yet, quiet and not noisy clothing is helpful to avoid spooking the game. Waterproof clothing can be noisy, whereas water-resistant tends to be softer and quieter.
For whitetail deer or other big game, having clothes that layer well is critical. Since these hunts occur in both warmer and extreme cold, having clothes that layer well will help you choose the different layers needed to keep comfortable for prevailing temperatures. Lighter, breathable layers for early-season hunts. Base layers for when the temperatures start to drop. Medium-weight jackets or hoodies for mid-season temps. Heavier layers or heated hunting clothing for those late-season hunts, when temperatures can be most brutal, are essential for staying comfortable.
Choose the right camouflage

Choosing clothing with the correct camouflage pattern for the dominant style of hunting can also aid in making you invisible to your desired game.
For waterfowl, you will most commonly want clothing that will provide the right camo, like Realtree MAX5 or Next Evos, to blend into your surroundings. Typically this may be more of a reed or stalk pattern to mimic the prevalent vegetation near lakes or marshes.
For whitetail deer or other big game, having clothes that provide camouflage, like Realtree Edge or Next G2, to blend into the tree cover will be best.
Choose clothing that aids in scent reduction

For specific big games, clothing that will reduce scent is also a plus. For games such as Whitetails, managing scent is a big plus. Making sure the clothing you pick can help to reduce or minimize odors can give you the advantage in those cases where winds may be swirling or sudden shifts may occur. Having clothing that will help to reduce the odors that are alarming to your game may give you the edge you need to be successful.
Clothing without UV brighteners

Choosing hunting clothing that also does not have UV brighteners can be helpful. Specific game, such as deer, can readily see UV rays emitted by specific clothing with UV brighteners. Choosing hunting clothes with a UV guard can help you remain invisible to your game.
