6OL Insulated Hunting Jacket: Real insulation for cold-weather hunts

With 8 breakthrough innovations, the 6OL is the world's first hunting jacket featuring the most breathable electrospun nano-membrane and the lightest insulation ever made. Durable, silent sub-zero build with 5-level waterproof shielding and 6-level thermoregulation in a Red Dot Award-winning design.

Real technology. Real performance. No compromises.

Winter Hunting Jacket Built on Breakthrough Technology

Most cold-weather hunting jackets force you to choose. Stay warm, but overheat when you move. Stay light but freeze when you stop. The 6OL ends this compromise.

Matrix® insulation weighs just 40 grams per square meter. That's just 54 grams for the entire jacket insulation, lighter than a chocolate bar, yet it delivers warmth down to -20°C. With thermal conductivity of 0.0087 W/mK, it outperforms even Aerogel in weight-to-thermal efficiency.

The Dryhunt® nanomembrane breathes at 32,000g/m²/24hr, triple what competing jackets offer. It moves 2.5 cubic meters of air through each square meter of fabric daily. You stay dry from inside moisture and outside precipitation.

Graphene heat retention technology uses thousands of conductive tracks woven into the lining. Zero cold spots. Heat-flux synchronization redistributes your body warmth evenly across the entire jacket.

These technologies, backed by 20 years of textile expertise, didn't exist in hunting jackets five years ago.

Cold Weather Hunting Performance That Adapts

The 6OL handles temperatures from 20°C down to -20°C on its own. Add proper layers, and it performs down to -25°C.

The Thermovent® system manages six thermoregulation technologies. Aerospacer3D mesh panels on the collar and shoulders prevent moisture buildup where your backpack sits. Strategic pit zips give instant ventilation during intense movement. Merino fleece zonal insulation on the back provides warmth where it matters most. The curved sleeve cuffs protect the backs of your hands from cold exposure.

For arctic conditions, the jacket is compatible with the Heatmax7 heating system.

Waterproof Protection That Actually Breathes

Nanofiber revolution

Dryhunt® is created by spreading nanofibers through electrospinning, which creates a fibrous layer that lets air move freely through it while blocking water penetration.

Completely PFAS-free and eco-friendly, Dryhunt® sets the gold standard in performance, reliability, and sustainability.

Next-Gen Waterproof Technology

The gaps between nanofibers are 20 times smaller than the water drop which makes the membrane fully waterproof. At the same time allows an incredible 90 cubic feet of air/moisture per square foot to pass through every 24 hours—equivalent to the air volume of a spacious living room.

6+ Level Thermoregulation

When outside temperatures are low and you are moving actively, your body generates excess heat and moisture. Without proper moisture management and thermoregulation, you can overheat while moving or freeze when you stop, as moisture buildup cools your body rapidly.

Termovent® technology manages moisture and thermoregulation through six advanced technologies.

Together,they create the world’s most advanced and efficient thermoregulation system, suitable for temperatures ranging from 20°C to -25°C (68°F to -13°F). Designed for Mild, Cool, Cold, Very Cold, and Extreme Cold weather conditions, this system delivers unparalleled comfort and performance with the option to add layers for the harshest environments.

Silent, Durable and Stretch - Now All in One

Designed to overcome the challenge of creating a waterproof shell that balances durability and quietness. Durability demands a high-density woven structure, similar to canvas, while noise reduction benefits from a softer, low-density design like fleece. To achieve this balance, the fabric features a brushed woven surface that mimics deer suede leather, providing a premium feel while significantly reducing noise during movement. This innovative shell is almost noiseless, excelling in thorny underbrush and tough terrains while offering durability, protection, and long-lasting performance in the toughest conditions.

Comparison of three fabrics: Woven Cordura (too noisy), Woven Durasuede (good durability, noise reduction, stretch), and Knitted Fleece (too weak). Each rated on silent level and thorn-proof.

Any coated or membrane-bonded fabric generates some level of noise. Knitted fleece-like fabrics are the quietest but the least durable, while woven Cordura-like fabrics are the strongest but also the noisiest.

Hillman's Durasuede is a breakthrough fabric that combines unmatched durability from its woven construction, exceptional noise reduction from its brushed acoustic surface, and superior comfort thanks to its stretch design. Backed by 20 years of textile expertise, we are proud to present the first ultimate hunting fabric, offering an unprecedented balance of durability, noise reduction, and comfort-all in one.
