Dryhunt® Nanofiber electrospun membrane The 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.
Matrix® Closed nano-cell insulation With a thermal conductivity of 0.0087 W/mK, Matrix® outperforms Aerogel (0.013 W/mK) and comes closest to a vacuum (0.006 W/mK) in terms of weight-to-thermal efficiency. This makes it the lightest insulation featuring closed-cell nanotechnology. Measuring just 0.035 inches / 0.9 mm thick and weighing 1.47 oz/yd² / 50g/m2, this breathable, antibacterial, and stretchable material is not only the most innovative insulation on Earth but is also Zero° Technology, eco-friendly, having passed the EU REACH SVHC sustainability test.
Graphene - Heat-flux Synchronization Lining Harness the power of pure graphene with thousands of tracks woven into our lining, greatly enhancing its thermal conductivity. This state-of-the-art design redistributes your body heat evenly, preventing cold spots and maintaining consistent warmth. Thanks to this innovative approach to thermal insulation, enjoy superior comfort and stay cozy in any environment. Additionally, our superfine lining is the only one today with stretch properties that do not compromise comfort, perfectly supporting Hillman’s philosophy of unrestricted movement and optimal performance.
Thermovent® 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 world's most moisture-permeable membrane; the Aerospacer3D mesh - which prevents moisture buildup where a backpack or other gear compresses the membrane; and underarm pit zips that allow for self-regulated climate control. 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.
Aerospacer3D - Condense management and cushioning system Ultra-ventilated panels made from a special Aerospacer3D mesh are placed on the collar and shoulders. These panels offer a unique anti-condensation technology that keeps you dry and comfortable by allowing moisture to escape. The Aerospacer3D mesh resists flattening under the weight of a backpack or gun sling, and its three-dimensional structure creates air-filled cavities between your body and the jacket. When you move, the "pump effect" generates air circulation, allowing moisture (like sweat) to move horizontally through the airy space and evaporate outside, preventing moisture buildup and condensation inside the fabric. Additionally, the three-dimensional pile and spacer threads act like millions of tiny springs, preventing flattening and providing excellent cushioning. When carrying a backpack or rifle, impacts are absorbed, and pressure is evenly distributed, significantly reducing pressure points and making it much more comfortable to carry your gear.
Cluster® - Quick access and carrying system TheCluster®system delivers unmatched speed and efficiency for accessing essential gear like radios, GPS devices, and ammunition, conveniently located on the chest for easy reach. Its innovative design allows for quick reloading and access to electronics without bulky pockets, reducing overall weight. Compatible with most calibers of ammunition and any device with a clip, it supports knives, flashlights, or items up to 2.2 lb / 1 kg. With no comparable system in terms of efficiency and design, Cluster® provides fast access without sacrificing mobility or adding bulk, making it the ultimate solution for hunters on the move.
OptiSight6®Hood - Perfect Vision, Seamless Comfort It may seem unusual to emphasize innovation in a hood, but at Hillman, every detail matters.

Read Full Description
Designed Specifically For Cold Weather
Winter hunting demands more than just warmth. You need to stay hidden, move cleanly, and ride out wind, sleet, and snow without tipping off your prey. The right camo jacket combines real insulation with patterns that match your surroundings, and if you choose the wrong one, that long sit turns short and cold real quick. That's why serious hunters stick with proven insulated camo gear built for warmth, stealth, and durability. The AlphaShell 6OL jacket brings it all together: an insulated, waterproof camo hunting jacket built to perform in actual conditions, not just on paper.
What Makes a Good Camo Winter Jacket
A proper camo winter jacket needs to go beyond just looking the part - it's got to provide real warmth and stay quiet in the field. The AlphaShell6OL jacket delivers on a few key things:
Insulation that actually works
Most jackets still use 800-fill down or synthetics like PrimaLoft. Those work fine, but Matrix closed-cell insulation with a graphene heat-flux lining does more. It holds warmth without the bulk, sheds moisture quickly, and keeps you comfortable when temperatures drop hard.
Winter-specific camo patterns for maximum concealment
Snow cover fades, brush darkens, fields glare — your scene changes by the hour. A good camo hunting coat should blend right into whatever's behind you. You want true-to-environment camouflage on an insulated camo jacket that stays quiet and low-shine, so you can move, set up, and draw without getting spotted.
Professional layering systems for sub-zero comfort
Cold-weather hunting comes down to using a jacket that works with everything else you're wearing. Hillman's 6OL Insulated Waterproof Camo Jacket works as the 6th outerwear layer in Hillman's layering system, sliding over your base and mid layers to shield you from wind, rain, and snow without locking up your movement.
Proper sizing for winter layering systems
Unlike bulky parkas, this hunting jacket has a regular to roomy fit that moves with you without messing with your aim or mobility. Hunters in extreme climates can add another down layer underneath, while most guys will find the fit just right for late-season deer hunts, waterfowl blinds, or cold-weather stalks.
Who Needs a Quality Insulated Camo Men's Hunting Jacket
Keep the season in mind, because not every hunt throws the same surprises. However, when temperatures plunge and snow piles up, a dependable, insulated camo jacket is necessary. The AlphaShell 6OL jacket is designed for hunters who demand steady performance in challenging weather conditions.
Winter hunters pursuing big game and waterfowl
From late-season whitetail sits to icy dawns in the duck blind, you need more than heat. When the weather pushes back, a hunting jacket isn’t just another layer but your shield, keeping you warm, dry, and unseen so you can stay out longer and hunt effectively.
Deer hunters in northern climates
When November through January brings deep snow and single-digit temps, at this time of the season, plan your setup specifically for the time you’ll be still and wear a jacket designed specifically for late-season cold.
Professionals working outdoors in winter
Wardens, conservation staff, and guides know the right hunting coat isn’t optional: it’s essential protection against snow, freezing rain, and relentless wind.
Why Invest in Premium Camo Windproof Winter Gear Now
Good hunting apparel keeps you warm, dry, and silent, minus the extra weight. The best hunting camo jackets sell out quickly, as seasoned hunters won’t risk gear failure in freezing conditions. Prep early so you can dial in the fit with your complete layering system and be confident it’ll perform when it counts.
Keep this in mind as you build your cold-season kit: add only what helps when time is short and conditions get rough. The goal is to achieve results throughout the entire year, so build a variety of loadouts that you can swap out depending on the terrain and temperature. Before you buy, check the items in your cart for color coordination: camo for cover with a black accent where needed. Mаke sure the materials match the work you do outdoors.
Now the features that matter: windproof shells that block gusts without bulk, features that manage moisture and heat, features that keep movement quiet, and features that won’t snag when you crawl or climb. Look for windproof ratings you can trust, plus pockets placed where your hands naturally rest. Internal pockets for small tools and tags add speed and order. Luckily, all these features can be found in Hillman's camo hunting jacket, the AlphaShell 6OL.
The 2025 waterfowl conservation stamps and hunting licenses are already available, and preparation should include testing your complete clothing system before opening day arrives.
Choose the Right Gear: Insulated Men's Hunting Jacket That Works
When conditions change fast, you need gear that can handle it. Go with a camo hunting jacket that brings real insulation, windproof and waterproof protection, and true concealment to keep your edge as temps fall and snow moves in. For late season, trust quality materials and low-shine, quiet camouflage that won't give you away. When shopping for coats range from lightweight options to heavyweight models designed for extreme conditions. The selection should match your hunting location, allowing the camouflage to blend in with the woods, while the clothing materials effectively manage heat and moisture. On our website, you can shop camo hunting jackets online that match your terrain, fit your layering system, and keep you warm, dry, and quiet.
Select lightweight hunting clothing that keeps you protected while you focus on the job at hand. The right lightweight setup saves time and delivers reliable results throughout the year.
Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature rating do I need for my hunting zone?
Use your area’s winter lows, then add 10–15°F for wind chill and long sits. Up North: target ~−15°F ratings. Down South: ~0°F usually works.
How do camo patterns perform in snow versus bare ground?
Snow-specific patterns, featuring white, gray, and muted blue elements, are best suited for snow-covered terrain. In contrast, traditional woodland patterns excel in mixed environments with bare ground and scattered snow.
What is the difference between softshell and hardshell winter jackets?
Softshell jackets breathe better and move with you during active hunting, but they don't block the weather as well. Hardshell designs focus on waterproof and windproof protection for sitting still or when the weather gets dreadful. Pick based on how you hunt and how much you move around.
How should hunting jackets and coats fit for proper layering?
Size up one size from your regular jacket size to accommodate fleece mid layers and base layers without restricting arm movement or shoulder mobility. Test the fit while shouldering your rifle or bow to ensure the jacket doesn’t pull or bind during shooting positions. Proper fit maintains warmth while preserving the mobility essential for successful hunting.
Your success depends on staying warm, staying hidden, and staying ready.

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.
As seen in this electron microscope image, Dryhunt’s nanofiber structure allows moisture to escape freely through its nanosized pores. Meanwhile, the pores are smaller than water droplets, effectively blocking water from the outside. Thanks to this cutting-edge nanotechnology, you will stay dry, warm, and free from the frustrations caused by 99.9% of conventional membranes.
99.9% of membranes out there are solid hydrophilic membranes that don’t offer direct breathability. Moisture escapes through these membranes via a condensation-like process, which is highly inefficient and fails to effectively release excess moisture. As a result, you’re left with damp or even wet, freezing sensation most of the time.
How Waterproofing Works? The water droplet is 20 times larger than the nano gaps of Dryhunt® membrane, which completely blocks water from getting through.
How breathability works? As you move, your sweat is vaporized and efficiently transported through the Dryhunt pores to the outside with unmatched efficiency.
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.
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.

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.
