Stay warm through the long sit
On the high seat, stillness is everything. Windproof membranes and high-loft insulation keep you warm for hours — so you stay focused, not frozen.
Four things that matter on the stand
Stand hunting has its own rules. Get these right and the rest is detail.
Warmth first
High-loft insulation traps body heat during hours of stillness. No cold spots, no shivering.
Windproof, not stuffy
A windproof membrane stops the chill without trapping moisture. Breathable insulation keeps you dry inside.
Silent fabrics
No rustling when you shift position. Brushed softshell, fleece and wool blends stay quiet on the high seat.
Comfort for hours
Articulated cuts and stretch panels let you sit comfortably and raise your rifle without restriction.
Dressed for the weather, ready for the wait
Your needs change with the calendar. Pick the season you're heading out in.
Mild days, light insulation
Light insulation layers for mild weather. Stay comfortable without overheating during shorter sits.
The core hunting season
Cool, damp days. A warm fleece or insulated softshell over a base layer keeps you comfortable on the high seat.
Maximum warmth, minimum bulk
Heavy insulation with windproof outer layers. Stack them thick and stay warm through the coldest sits.
Three layers, dialled for the hunt
Regulate temperature by adding or shedding layers — instead of sweating in one heavy jacket and freezing the moment you stop.
Base — wick
Merino or synthetic against the skin to move sweat away. Never cotton — it holds moisture and chills you the moment you pause.
Mid — insulate
A high-loft fleece or padded mid-layer traps warm air. Thumb holes keep sleeves from riding up.
Outer — block wind
A windproof insulated jacket or parka cuts the chill. Look for a quiet outer fabric — no hard shells that crackle.
➜ Keep a lightweight, packable hardshell in your pack for the downpour — put it on only when it really starts, then hunt in comfort the rest of the time.
The quiet fabrics, by name
Merino Wool
Temperature-regulating, odour-resistant and incredibly warm for its weight. The perfect base layer.
Padded Insulation
Synthetic down or Primaloft® fills provide warmth without bulk. Silent against the outer layer.
Windproof Softshell
Stretchy, breathable and windproof. A quiet outer that moves with you on the high seat.
