Breakthroughs
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 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 -13°F ( from 20°C to -25°C), suitable for Mild, Cool, Cold, and even Very Cold and Extreme cold weather conditions with additional layers.

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
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
Hiking uphill gets hot fast. Our pit zips dump heat instantly. 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 shut out 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
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
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
The 5WL waterproof hunting jacket performs from mild 68°F days down to extreme conditions at minus 4°F. 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.
Common Questions About Camo Rain Jacket
Q: Will this waterproof jacket really keep you dry in heavy rain?
A: Absolutely. Five layers of waterproof protection handle downpours. Waterproof zippers, sealed seams, and our Dryhunt® membrane ensure you stay dry in the harshest conditions.
Q: How packable is this rain jacket really?
A: About the size of a water bottle when compressed. Packable enough to always keep in your hunting pack. This packable design ensures you're always prepared for the weather.
Q: Which color option should I choose?
A: Pick based on your hunting terrain. Woodland camo excels in timber and marsh patterns for waterfowl, while ranger green solid color works everywhere. Each color option offers identical performance.

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.
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.
Technology: Electrospun nanofiber web Waterproof / Hydrostatic Head: 11,000 mm Breathability / MVTR: 32,000 g/m²/24 h Air Permeability: True air flow
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 a 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.
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, it 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.
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.
⛊ Level 5
OptiSight6®hood
2 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 six advanced technologies.
Together, they create the world’s most advanced and efficient thermoregulation system, suitable for temperatures ranging from 68°F to -13°F (20°C to -25°C). 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.
𖦹 Dryhunt® nanomembrane
Our advanced nanofiber membrane efficiently expels excess heat and moisture through its airy structure, ensuring optimal comfort while maintaining complete protection against external elements.
𖦹 Pit Zips
For intense activity, strategically placed pit zips allow you to customize ventilation by adjusting the openings to release excess heat and moisture, enhancing comfort during high-exertion tasks.
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.

Hi Lorenzo, thank you so much for your feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you find the jacket beautiful and very comfortable. We hope it serves you well on many outdoor adventures!
Got caught in rain on the way back from a hunt and ended up wearing it longer than planned. Kept me dry and didn’t overheat even while moving. Easy to pack and quick to throw on. Solid piece of gear.
Store owner replied:
Thanks again, Jake! Getting caught in the rain is the real test, and we are glad the 5WL kept you dry without cooking you on the walk back. Good hunting this fall!

Review from www.ro.hillmanhunting.com
Good fit across the chest, perfect arm length and across the shoulders, snug fit across the hips & would prefer a looser fit, hopefully as the jacket beds in it may loosen, solid & very strong zippers, A great feature is how lightweight it is.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for the lovely review! We’re so happy you enjoyed your experience with us. It means the world to our team. Don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything else we can do for you!
Stylish design, but unfortunately too small for me and the membrane seems to make sweating or moisture release difficult!
Review from www.hillmandeutschland.de
Really nice rain jacket. Jacket isn’t some thin piece of material but a thicker layered material that is comfortable, breathable and quiet. The only improvement would an interior pocket for a phone.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your review! We’re glad to hear you like the jacket’s quality, comfort, and breathability. We appreciate your suggestion about an interior pocket — we’re always looking for ways to improve!
It looks pretty good... We'll see how it performs in use.
Review from www.hillmanchasse.com
The jacket makes a high-quality impression, but I haven't tested it extensively yet. However, the sizing is a major problem. I usually wear size 56 (which would also be the correct size according to the chest measurement chart), but this jacket didn't work at all. Size 60 (exchanges have worked well so far) just barely fits with a sweater underneath. With the suggested layering, I would need size 62 for a comfortable fit.

Hiking uphill gets hot fast. Our pit zips dump heat instantly. 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 shut out the cold.
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.
The 5WL waterproof hunting jacket performs from mild 68°F days down to extreme conditions at minus 4°F. 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.
