What Makes Our Insulated Pants Special?

When you find the right hunting pants, they become the difference between close calls and a successful hunt. We use Matrix insulation with Dryhunt membrane that keeps cold out but lets moisture escape. Modern materials give you 2000% greater efficiency and weigh 80% less. You stay warm without bulk.

The windproof construction blocks harsh winds. These insulated hunting pants let you focus on deer sign instead of fighting discomfort. The pants feature detachable suspenders that convert into hunting bibs when needed.

The Suspenders That Convert to Bibs

Sometimes you need pants, sometimes you need bibs. Our detachable suspender system lets you choose. The high waist design offers versatile fit options. Wide, adjustable suspenders seal drafts at the waist. You get the same warmth as traditional hunting bibs with a secure fit. When temperature rise, remove the suspenders and wear them as regular pants.

Men's Hunting Pants That Keep You Out Longer

These revolutionary hunting pants deliver protection against the elements. Whether facing early-season warmth or extreme cold conditions, our layering system provides comfort in the stand. The Matrix insulation keeps you warm when cold settles in, but releases heat as activity rises.

The windproof Dryhunt nanomembrane gives protection from wind and rain. Most hunting pants use solid membranes that trap moisture. The electrospun nanofiber technology lets moisture escape while blocking water.

The graphene lining redistributes body heat from the waist to the ankle. These hunting pants feature durable materials for rugged use. Reinforced knees provide stability, while suede fabric resists thorns. The ultra quiet Durasuede fabric keeps you virtually invisible to the game.

Smart Storage with Cluster System

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.

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 and Cold weather conditions, this system delivers unparalleled comfort and performance with the option to add layers for Very Cold and Extreme Cold 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.
