What Is the Most Important Item of Clothing for Hunter

Introduction

As any hunter knows, one of the most critical components when it comes to your ability to spend prolonged periods of time outdoors in the cold is having the right clothing and layering system.

While maintaining your core body temperature is the most important aspect from a survival standpoint, having warm hands and feet is a must for an enjoyable hunt.

In today's article, we'll review the basics of how to get layers right, and find some great products that will help you stay in the woods for longer.

Orange

Although not needed to stay warm,the first and most obvious item of clothing you probably think of for hunting is safety gear. It's important to check your local hunting regulations regarding visibility. Some locations have no requirements at all, while others have very specific requirements on the amount of blaze orange that needs to be visible. So before you head out into the woods, be sure to check all the local rules and regulations.

Layering

While you can wear as many layers as you want, there are three basic categories when it comes to layers.

Base Layer

The first layer is the base or wicking layer. This is the layer that goes next to your skin. The main job of the base layer is to wick moisture away from your skin to keep you dry. Base layers are normally wool, synthetic, or a blend of the two.

Insulating Layer

Insulating Layer

The second layer is the insulating layer. The insulating layer can be anything from a light fleece or wool sweater all the way up to a large down or synthetic fill jacket. The purpose of this layer is to create a bufer zone between your body and the cold air around you. In extreme cold, it's normally the insulating layer that you will have multiples of. Savior Heat has many options when it comes to insulating layers, but they're taken a step further with the addition of heated elements to keep you extra toasty. From heated jackets  to vests, Savior Heat has you covered.

Shell

The final layer is the shell. The shell's job is to keep out the rain and wind. Rain and wind are two of the main mechanisms by which you lose body heat.

These shells are most often both wind and waterproof, keeping all your layers below dry and safe from the elements.Sometimes you can use a waterproof heated jacket instead.

Hands, Feet, and Head

As mentioned earlier, if you want to enjoy your hunting experience and spend more time outside in the cold, you need to keep your hands, feet, and head warm as well.
