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.

Why stand gear is different

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.

Shop by season

Dressed for the weather, ready for the wait

Your needs change with the calendar. Pick the season you're heading out in.

The stand hunting layer system

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.

LAYER 01

Base — wick

Merino or synthetic against the skin to move sweat away. Never cotton — it holds moisture and chills you the moment you pause.

LAYER 02

Mid — insulate

A high-loft fleece or padded mid-layer traps warm air. Thumb holes keep sleeves from riding up.

LAYER 03

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.

Silent by material

The quiet fabrics, by name

Natural warmth

Merino Wool

Temperature-regulating, odour-resistant and incredibly warm for its weight. The perfect base layer.

Warm & quiet

Padded Insulation

Synthetic down or Primaloft® fills provide warmth without bulk. Silent against the outer layer.

Wind block

Windproof Softshell

Stretchy, breathable and windproof. A quiet outer that moves with you on the high seat.
