Ultra-lightweight Packable Camo Rain Jacket: Stay Dry All Season.

Rain jackets are either extremely heavy, making it difficult to move your arms, or they claim to have breathable technology but leave you wet from sweat. We designed the 5WL waterproof camo jacket to address this issue. This lightweight hunting rain waterproof jacket weighs just 1 lb 8 oz and packs down tiny. However, when rain hits hard, this waterproof hunting jacket outperforms bulky rain gear.

Finally, Rain Gear That Works

What makes our rain waterproof jacket special? We use Dryhunt® membrane, featuring advanced technology that keeps rain out while allowing moisture to escape. Unlike Gore-Tex and other breathable membranes that overpromise, ours delivers in wet conditions.

How This Waterproof Jacket Keeps You Dry

Regular rain gear uses plastic layers to block water. The problem is, they trap moisture and body heat. Your sweat has nowhere to go. You stay dry from rain but get soaked from the inside. Not ideal in demanding conditions.

Our waterproof camo jacket works differently. The Dryhunt® membrane has microscopic openings that rain can't penetrate, but moisture vapor escapes freely. This waterproof technology moves 90 cubic feet of air through each square foot daily. That breathable performance keeps you comfortable whether you're sitting on a stand or moving through wet conditions.

The Adjustable Hood That Protects Your Head

Camo rain jacket for close dialog

Our OptiSight6® adjustable hood fixes this. Six adjustment points on the adjustable hood keep rain off your head while maintaining your view line. When the rain stops, the adjustable hood tucks completely into the collar with no flopping around.

Full Zip Design with Pit Zips for Temperature Control

These aren't tiny vents but full-length pit zips that really cool you down. The full zip front opens from top or bottom. Open the pit zips when working hard, close them in extreme conditions to close the dialog with the cold.

Durable Materials Built to Last

We crafted this rain jacket with Durasuede, showing real durability. First, it's quiet enough for close-range hunting. Second, the durability of these materials handles thorns without tearing. Third, the stretch fabric keeps you mobile when drawing a bow or shouldering arms.

Smart Rain Gear Storage: Your First Line of Defense

Two photos show a person wearing the Hillman® Camo Rain Jacket - Hunting Waterproof | AlphaShell 5WL: left, three shotgun shells in a chest holder; right, the lightweight jacket holding two shells, a pen, and an orange handheld radio.

Our Cluster® system represents your first line of quick access, putting essential hunting gear right on your chest. It's one of the advanced features hunters love. The system holds ammo, GPS, and calls weighing up to 2.2 pounds of gear.

We equipped the jacket with YKK AquaGuard zippers that are completely waterproof. Your electronics stay dry in the harshest conditions.

Lightweight But Built Strong From Knees to Head

Three images show close-ups of a person in brown outdoor clothing: adjusting a pocket, opening a zipper, and wearing the Hillman® AlphaShell 5WL Camo Rain Jacket—lightweight, waterproof hunting gear perfect as packable rainwear.This packable camo rain jacket stuffs into its own pocket. Super packable design means it's always in your pack. But packable doesn't mean weak. We built reinforced shoulders for pack straps. The waterproof construction is designed to protect you from head to knees when paired with our hunting pants. Every stress point that demands durability got extra attention.

Good hunting rain gear should last multiple seasons. We constructed this rain jacket tough where it counts while keeping it lightweight and packable enough for everyday carry. Match it with Hillman's Waterproof Hunting Pants | Lightweight Rain ProShell | 5WL for complete protection.

Performs in The Harshest Conditions

Wear this lightweight layer over a base layer when warm. Add insulation layers underneath when it's cold. The athletic cut accommodates extra layers without bulk or restricting arm movement.

Wind finds every weakness in rain gear. Not with our waterproof technology! We sealed every seam for weather protection. Our windproof design keeps elements out while maintaining breathability. This rain jacket is engineered for the harshest conditions nature throws at hunters.

Different Hunts, Same Waterproof Protection

One jacket for any hunt, same storm-proof confidence. You stay dry, move silently, and keep pushing when others give up.

Tree Stand Hunting

Sitting on a stand for hours in wet conditions tests the durability of any hunting rain jacket. Ours stays quiet when you shift position. The adjustable hood keeps rain off optics, and your head stays protected. We designed every detail for comfort during extended periods of sitting.

Spot and Stalk Movement

Moving through heavy brush demands versatility from rain gear. Our four-way stretch allows for natural movement and motion from the head down through the knees when crawling. Since it's so packable, this lightweight hunting jacket is always there when storm clouds build. The windproof shell sheds rain while you push through the cover.

Duck Hunting

Waterfowl hunters know wet conditions are part of the game. This waterproof camo hunting jacket performs when setting decoys before first light. The camo rain jacket patterns work in the marsh and the timber. Waterproof protection that moves smoothly for pass shooting. Pair with waterproof pants for wading.

Better Performance Than Gore-Tex and Traditional Rain Gear

This men's waterproof camo jacket delivers protection that matches heavy-duty rain gear, but in a lightweight design you'll actually wear. The breathable Dryhunt membrane outperforms Gore-Tex in moisture transfer tests. Hunters notice the difference immediately, as you'll stay dry and comfortable.

Built to Last Season After Season

Cheap rain gear falls apart after one season. We back the 5WL with a two-year warranty, but built it to last much longer. Quality zippers, reinforced wear points, and innovative construction mean this hunting rain jacket performs for years.

Finding Your Perfect Fit

Hillman's ERGO™ system delivers proper fit, whether you're built lean or broad. Sizes range from youth through 3XL. The athletic cut eliminates excess fabric while accommodating base layers and matching pants.

Most hunters prefer their normal size over hunting apparel layers. Adjustable waist and cuffs allow for a custom fit. This works great as a women's camo rain jacket, too. The adjustment range and engineered fit accommodate various body types. The same bulletproof weather protection and advanced features that protect from head to knee, when combined with our pants.

5-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.

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.

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.

Comparison chart of three fabric types: Woven Cordura, Woven Durasuede+Dryhunt, and Knitted Fleece. Fabric images show textures. Ratings indicate noise level and thorn-proof durability, with Cordura as noisy, Durasuede as optimal, and Fleece as weak.

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.

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 1 kg / 2.2 lb.
