Heated Hunting Gear - Jackets, Pants & Vests
Heated hunting gear from Hillman – jackets, pants & heated vests that keep hunters warm, dry, and focused in cold weather.
The forest teaches patience. Hunters know the hardest part isn’t always finding game, but enduring the stillness when the temperatures fall and the wind cuts through every gap in your clothes. Staying out in the cold takes more than willpower. It takes gear that can hold heat, manage moisture, and give comfort through hours of waiting. That is why Hillman built its heated hunting gear collection. Every jacket, pant, and heated vest is designed to help hunters push through cold weather, maintain focus, and come back with success stories instead of frostbitten memories.
Heated Hunting Gear Designed for Performance
When hunters prepare for a season, they weigh many factors, terrain, timing, and above all, the climate. In cold temperatures, even the best stand placement means little if your body cannot keep warm. Hillman integrates advanced insulation with innovative heating elements to create clothing that adapts to shifting conditions.
The system works through layers. Base layers pull away moisture to keep skin dry. Mid-layers insulate and trap warmth. The outer layers: jackets, bibs, and pants, block wind, snow, and rain. Additionally, our 6OL collection is compatible with the Heatmax7 heating system that's powered by high-capacity battery packs. Hunters can adjust degrees of heat with a single touch, moving from low settings to high depending on the chill.
Products like the Heated 6OL Camo Hunting Jacket combine waterproof materials with strategically placed heating panels. The 6OL Heated Hunting Rain Jacket pushes performance further, offering extreme protection for the coldest hunts. Both provide multiple pockets sized for calls, GPS units, or a cell phone, ensuring you never compromise on accessibility while in the field.
Heated Vests and Pants: Core Warmth That Lasts Hours
Every hunter has faced the same choice: move and risk spooking whitetails, or sit still and let the cold creep in. With heated vests, that choice disappears. Lightweight and versatile, they keep the core warm without adding bulk to the arms. This freedom of movement means hunters can raise a bow, shoulder a rifle, or crawl quietly into position without restriction.
Pairing the vest with insulated hunting pants completes the system. The 6OL Insulated Camo Hunting Pants and Insulated Hunting Pants 6OL Bibs trap warmth while staying breathable enough for long walks. Adjustable straps, reinforced seams, and waterproof finishes make them a durable solution for cold-weather hunts. Whether you are walking to a mid-trip stand or covering ground in search of game, this combination of jacket, vest, and pants keeps your body protected.
Cold Weather Hunting Gear Built for Hunters
Every detail of Hillman gear is tested against the realities of hunting. Quiet materials reduce noise when drawing a bow or shifting on a stand. But if you want to ensure visibility and safety without breaking camouflage, try clothing with blaze orange panels. Adjustable pockets hold gloves, calls, or even hand warmers for quick comfort boosts. Hunters can personally set the right balance of heat and ventilation, depending on how much they wear beneath.
Time is a hunter’s greatest challenge. Sitting still for hours waiting for game tests endurance. With heated gear, that waiting becomes manageable. Hunters can extend a trip instead of cutting it short due to cold, turning uncomfortable breaks into steady, focused sessions. For those chasing late-season whitetails, where the reward often comes after long, frozen vigils, having reliable heated hunting gear can mean the difference between tagging out and packing early.
The Following Factors That Define Effective Heated Gear
What makes heated gear effective is not only its price or the promise of warmth. Hunters quickly learn that real performance depends on a mix of qualities working together. Heat control must be simple, with settings that let you turn warmth up or down depending on how the day develops. Battery packs need to hold their charge through long sits, so you are not left exposed halfway through a hunt. Comfort is another measure, since bulky gear can break your focus, while well-fitted layers create freedom of movement. Durability also plays a role, because seams, zippers, and fabrics take abuse in rough terrain. And finally, accessibility matters; silent zips and medium-depth pockets keep your tools close without announcing your presence.
Each of these factors determines whether a hunter can outlast the cold or is forced to break cover too early. Hillman designs every insulated jacket, vest, and pant with this balance in mind, ensuring you carry gear that does not fail when the conditions demand the most.
Heated Vest for Maximum Comfort in Cold Weather
A heated vest remains a favorite for hunters who want maximum versatility. It keeps the core warm, leaves arms free for steady aim, and fits under both camo jackets and blaze orange layers. On low settings, it stretches a charge through long hunts; on high, it delivers powerful warmth during freezing mornings. For those who demand reliability, the vest is the gear that turns discomfort into confidence.
Hillman: Heated Hunting Gear That Hunters Can Trust
Cold hunts leave little room for mistakes. Anyone who has sat through a dawn freeze knows how fast the chill can drain focus and strength. That is why Hillman puts so much effort into building heated hunting gear that does more than promise warmth. The jackets and insulated pants are tested in rough country, on real stands, during long waits where silence and endurance decide the outcome.
Hunters need insulated clothing that feels solid, keeps the body steady, and lets them stay out longer without losing comfort. Hillman’s designs are made for exactly that. Instead of thinking about the cold, you stay ready for the moment the game steps out.
Frequently asked questions
What are the best hunting pants?
Short list the market keeps surfacing: KUIU Attack / Guide Pro, Sitka Timberline, First Lite Corrugate Foundry, Stone Glacier De Havilland (and Lite), FORLOH AllClima, ScentLok Savanna; Outdoor Life and GearJunkie rank those lines repeatedly.
Hillman’s answer: Fusion Waterproof Hunting Pants (full-garment waterproof, breathable, reinforced legs, quiet), 5WL Ultra-Lightweight Packable Rain Pants (stormproof shell that stuffs tiny; over-pant or stand-alone), and 6OL Matrix Insulated Waterproof Bibs (DryHunt® membrane + Matrix® insulation, heat-dump vents, anatomical cuff). These extend the common “waterproof knees/seat + stretch soft-shell” concept to full waterproof construction on Fusion, add a packable rain over-pant with 5WL, and deliver deep-cold insulation on 6OL while remaining low-noise.
- Sitka Timberline: soft-shell with waterproof overlays at seat/knees.
- KUIU Guide Pro / Attack: wind- and water-resistant 4-way stretch; not fully waterproof.
- First Lite Corrugate Foundry: laminate at seat/knees + removable knee pads + hip vents.
- Stone Glacier De Havilland (+ Lite): DWR soft-shell, Contour Waist™, knee-pad compatible, side zips.
- FORLOH AllClima: 4-way stretch, water-resistant, integrated pads.
- ScentLok Savanna: lightweight, scent-control focus.
Bottom line: need fully waterproof pants → Hillman Fusion; need packable storm protection that rides in your pack → Hillman 5WL; need deep-cold waterproof insulation → Hillman 6OL.
What pants to wear hunting?
Match pants to season and terrain.
- Early/Hot: ultralight, quiet, fast-dry, high venting. ScentLok Savanna and KUIU Attack/Guide Pro are common picks; Hillman Fusion covers hot-to-wet because it is fully waterproof yet light and quiet. Carry 5WL Packable Rain Pants as a 10-second storm shell over any pant. Browse: Lightweight Waterproof Rain Gear.
- Mid/Variable: stretch soft-shell with reinforcement and weather resistance. KUIU Guide Pro, First Lite Corrugate Foundry, and Stone Glacier De Havilland set the pattern; Hillman Fusion adds full-pants waterproofing. Keep 5WL stowed for surprise downpours.
- Cold/Wet/Snow: insulation + real waterproofing. Many brands rely on DWR or panel waterproofing; Hillman 6OL Matrix Bibs deliver full waterproofing with Matrix® insulation for deep cold; 5WL serves as an emergency over-shell in heavy storms.
Browse focused options: Waterproof Pants & Bibs and Insulated Pants & Bibs.
Who makes the best hunting pants?
“Best” rotates by use-case. Media tests often favor KUIU Attack/Guide, Sitka Timberline, First Lite Corrugate Foundry, and Stone Glacier De Havilland; FORLOH and ScentLok appear for niche needs.
Positioning: Hillman competes at the top via three decisive edges—full-garment waterproof construction in Fusion, ultra-light packable storm coverage with 5WL, and true cold-weather waterproof-insulated performance from 6OL, while many rivals rely on water-resistant fabrics with waterproof panels only.
What to wear under hunting pants?
- Warm/static sits: merino base layers or synthetics that wick; optional grid-fleece mid-layers if immobile; avoid cotton. With Hillman 6OL, heavy mid-layers are often unnecessary due to integrated insulation. Add base-layer bottoms / long johns for sub-freezing sits.
- Active hikes: thin wicking merino base layer only; dump heat via vents/hip-zips. Hillman Fusion remains breathable while fully waterproof; stash 5WL for sudden storms.
What pants should I wear for deer hunting?
- Archery/spot-stalk, mixed cover: quiet soft-shell with stretch; water resistance minimum. Hillman Fusion adds silence plus full waterproofing for brush and wet knees without rain over-pants; carry 5WL for pop-up showers.
- Treestand in rain/sleet: choose fully waterproof pants or bibs; panel waterproofing is not enough when seated long hours. Hillman Fusion (pants),
