Waterproof Hunting Pants
Waterproof hunting pants & bibs from Hillman – lightweight, camo, and durable for cold weather and wet conditions. Stay protected on every hunt.
Rain on the horizon, wind cutting through the trees, the kind of chill that makes every step harder. These are the moments when your gear either carries you through or sends you home early. At Hillman, we built our waterproof hunting pants and bibs for hunters who stay the course. They are more than clothing. They are protection, freedom of movement, and the confidence to stay sharp in the field, no matter how fast the weather turns.
Waterproof Hunting Pants for Real-World Hunts
The best hunts often take place in the worst conditions. Mud underfoot, a sudden downpour, long waits in damp blinds. Ordinary layers fail quickly. That is why Hillman’s waterproof hunting pants use durable materials with breathable membranes that block rain but release body heat. You can hike steep ground, sit in a stand, or stalk game without feeling weighed down or overheated.
The 5WL Ultra-Lightweight Waterproof Hunting Pants are built for hunters who demand rain gear that packs small and wears light. Known as the lightest pants in our line, they disappear into your pack until clouds gather, then shield you with full weather protection. For hunters who need concealment, the 5WL Waterproof Camo Hunting Pants combine the same toughness with advanced camo patterns, allowing you to move unnoticed through brush and timber.
Hunting Bibs That Seal Out Cold and Rain
When the air bites and the wind rises, only hunting bibs hold the line. Hillman’s men’s hunting bibs are cut to cover and protect, with adjustable straps for comfort and hip vents that let heat escape on long hikes. Close them up, and the warmth stays locked inside for long, motionless hours in the stand.
In late autumn or during season hunts, bibs become essential. Their water-resistant shells and windproof structure block the worst of the elements. Deep pockets keep tools and calls where you can reach them instantly. Whether tracking turkey across wet fields or sitting quietly for big game, Hillman bibs allow hunters to stay focused instead of shivering.
Camo Pants for Every Landscape
Every hunt demands its own camouflage. Thick forest, rocky ridges, open fields - each environment has its own challenges. Unlike heavy coveralls, Hillman’s camo pants stay lightweight, breathable, and flexible. They follow every step, crouch, or climb without noise or restriction. For hunters moving through the woods in cool temps, or waiting still while drizzle falls at dawn, the right camo makes the difference between being seen and staying invisible.
Camo Hunting Pants for Late Season Hunts
When the leaves are gone and the ground hardens with frost, hunters know conditions get tough. Hillman’s camo hunting pants are engineered for these late season hunts, when keeping control of your body temperature means staying focused longer. The fabrics are moisture-wicking, so even when you push through brush or climb into a stand, sweat won’t leave you cold once you stop moving. Pair them with Hillman jackets and boots, and you have a system built to carry you through the hardest days of the season.
Men’s Hunting Bibs for Harsh Weather
Hunters facing late-season cold need gear they can trust. Hillman’s men’s hunting bibs are built to hold warmth, resist rain, and provide coverage from chest to boot. They are equally at home during hiking trips, fishing in uncertain weather, or holding a stand when snow and rain fall together. For hunters who value mobility and durability, bibs are the answer.
Camo Hunting for Every Outdoor Activity
Not every trip is about a single harvest. Sometimes it is a long weekend in the woods, a morning of fishing, or an afternoon spent scouting. Hillman designed its camo hunting gear to adapt across all these outdoor activities, keeping hunters dry and steady through changing conditions. The pants can be worn as stand-alone protection or as part of a full set, making it easy to build the right pair for the hunt. Whether you’re waiting in the stock at dawn or hiking through shifting weather, Hillman camo gear ensures you remain ready for the moment.
Hillman Rain Gear: Proven in the Field
Success in the hunting world comes down to patience and preparation. You cannot control the sky, but you can control the gear you bring. Hillman’s rain gear is tested where it matters—on hunts that last for hours, sometimes days, in conditions that punish anything unprepared.
From lightweight pants that slide on quickly to insulated bibs that turn back cold weather, every piece of this collection is made with the same goal: protection without sacrificing comfort. Hillman hunters stay dry, stay warm, and stay ready. That is why they return to the woods with focus, season after season.
Hillman Performance in Every Season
The hunt never waits for perfect weather. That is why Hillman designs waterproof hunting pants and bibs that hold up when conditions don’t. With field-proven fabrics, smart pockets, and tested durability, this collection gives hunters the edge they need to remain steady, dry, and alert. Explore the line today and find gear that works as hard as you do.
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.

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),
