Hunting Accessories, Gear, Supplies & Equipment

hunting accessories, hunting gear, equipment, backpacks

Hillman hunting accessories are built for real hunters. From duffel bags to game bags and day packs, durable gear that withstands weather, time, and the hunt.

Some days out there feel longer than they should. Rain hits sideways, mud sticks to everything, and gear either holds up or it doesn’t. Hillman’s hunting accessories are for the ones who stay anyway. The ones who keep walking, fixing, adjusting, until the job’s done.

Nothing fancy here. Just strong materials, steady cartridge belts, and hunting backpacks that don’t quit when the weather turns mean. Hunters trust Hillman because the gear doesn’t ask for attention; it just works.

Duffel Bags That Earn Their Keep

A good duffel bag isn’t about looks. It’s about the miles it survives. Hillman’s hunting bags can easily serve the same function. They have been thrown in trucks, left in the rain, and dragged through gravel. They still zip. They are still closed.

Each bag is tough where it counts: welded seams, solid straps, durable fabric that laughs at water and dirt. Big ones, small ones, every size for every hunt. Hunters toss in jackets, ammo, tools, even things that shouldn’t fit. Somehow, they do. 

The price is fair, and the durability is what makes them stay in use, long after others wear out.

Game Bags That Do the Honest Work

The quiet part of the hunt, that’s where the game bags matter. When it’s done, when it’s time to carry what you’ve earned. Hillman’s game bags are built for that moment. They breathe just enough, protect from dirt, and keep the meat cool.

They’re lightweight, simple, and easy to clean. No gimmicks, no noise. Just strong fabric that does its job every single time. Ask around; most hunters who’ve used one still have it. That says plenty.

Day Packs for Hunters Who Keep Moving

There’s no single right day pack. Every hunter has their favorite. Hillman’s packs just seem to become that favorite faster. They sit close, stay quiet, and don’t bounce when you climb or crawl.

Inside, there’s room for calls, a bit of ammo, rifle pouches, maybe a jacket, and a few tools that always come along. The pockets make sense. You don’t need to think about where things are; your hands just know.

And when it rains? The material holds off the elements. You wipe it clean, hang it by the fire, and it’s ready for the next day.

Hunting Gear That Lasts Longer Than You Expect

There’s a reason people keep coming back to Hillman. The gear lasts. It doesn’t ask for care, but it gives plenty. Cartridge belts, stock protectors, pouches, packs, beanies, everything’s built to withstand weight, mud, and time.

Hunters know the difference between something that looks tough and something that is. Hillman builds the second kind. Each piece is meant to be used hard, season after season. It’s not pretty gear; it’s gear that earns respect.

Hunting Equipment Built from Real Use, Not Theory

Hillman doesn’t guess what hunters need. The design comes from miles in the field, from cold mornings and missed shots, from fixing what broke last season. That’s how these hunting accessories, waterproof backpacks, camo day packs, and game bags came to life, out of real problems solved one at a time.

They’re built for those who go out before dawn and come back when the light’s gone. For those who still believe that the right equipment can make the difference between a story told and a story remembered.

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 pantsHillman 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.

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.
