Featuring a lightweight, adaptive design with full-length side zippers, these 1 lb 4 oz (590g) pants are your ultimate backup for unpredictable weather. Slip them on effortlessly without removing your footwear when sudden rain strikes. Once the weather clears, shed the waterproof layer to stay comfortable and mobile. Their ultra-compact design packs down small, keeping them ready for whenever you need them.

The World’s Most Breathable, Waterproof, Ultralight Hunting Pants


The 5WL hunting pants are designed to be your most versatile year-round option. Constructed with ultralight materials for effortless carrying and portability, they provide exceptional protection in rain or snowstorms while being easily removable when the weather turns dry and warm.
The adaptive design with full-length side zippers lets you put on or take off the pants without removing your shoes.
For example, you can wear lighter cotton pants underneath the 5WL waterproof pants in the early morning when there's dew or rain and easily remove the waterproof layer as the weather gets dry and hot by noon. Likewise, if unexpected showers hit, you can quickly slip the waterproof pants over non-waterproof ones for complete protection.

The super-ergonomic, stretchy design and tailored fit provide exceptional comfort, even with multiple layers.
The unmatched nano-membrane breathability and ventilation system guarantee the world's most efficient vapor transmission and microclimate comfort.
INNOVATIONS

Dryhunt®

Nanofiber electrospun membrane
he world's most air-permeable waterproof nanoporous membrane is the most efficient at transporting body moisture outside the jacket in any condition. This dramatically improves thermoregulation and inner climate comfort and helps all insulation layers work at maximum performance. Dryhunt is a hydrophobic nano-membrane that simultaneously outperforms any membrane technology in the world regarding breathability and stretchiness, which are essential for thermoregulation and comfort. This electrospun nanomembrane technology is made and applied to the fabric with the highest precision in South Korea. 

Termovent®

Multi-level thermoregulation system
When outside temperatures are low, and you move actively, your body generates excess moisture. Without proper moisture management, this moisture can cause you to freeze when you stop moving, as it cools your body rapidly. Thermovent® technology manages moisture in three ways: through the Dryhunt membrane, the peak-level waist vent to release excess heat, and customizable side zippers. Together, these technologies create the world's most advanced and efficient thermoregulation system for temperatures from 68°F to -15°F (from 20°C to -25°C), suitable for Mild, Cool, Cold, and even Very Cold and Extreme cold weather conditions with additional layers.

4-Level Waterproof Shielding

Level 1

Dryhunt® nanomembrane

Dryhunt® is a groundbreaking hydrophobic nanofiber membrane that redefines what's possible in hunting gear. Thanks to its unique technology and structure, it outperforms not only the non-porous hydrophilic membranes but also any membrane with nanoporous structure.

Developed with precision in South Korea, Dryhunt® is crafted with an unparalleled focus on performance. Its cutting-edge nanofiber technology supports insulation layers to operate at peak efficiency, keeping you dry, comfortable, and focused on your hunt. This is not just a membrane—it's the pinnacle of waterproof and breathable innovation, offering an advantage no other product can match.

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.

⛊ Level 2 | DWR

To prevent the fabric from soaking and gaining weight, we use eco-friendly DWR C0, a fluorine-free treatment that ensures long-lasting water repellency and sustainability.

⛊ Level 3 | Seam Sealing

To ensure seams are waterproof, we use breathable seam sealing tape, providing added protection without compromising comfort or performance.

⛊ Level 4 | YKK AquaGuard

For ultimate protection against water, we use premium YKK AquaGuard zippers, renowned as the industry leader for their unmatched efficiency and reliability.

3 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 three 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.

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.
