Breakthroughs
Dryhunt®
Nanofiber electrospun membrane The world's most air-permeable waterproof nano porous 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.

6OL Insulated Hunting Pants Keep You Warm During Cold-Weather Hunting With Waterproof Protection. Men's Camo Pants Designed to Deliver a Successful Hunt.
Insulated hunting pants are either too bulky, so you can barely walk, or they claim advanced insulation but leave you freezing. We designed the AlphaShell 6OL waterproof insulated hunting pants to fix this problem. These men's insulated hunting pants weigh just 2.1 pounds but keep you warm down to minus 5°F. When cold weather hits hard, these pants outperform bulky gear that costs twice as much. Field-proven by hunters from river bottoms to mountains.
What Makes Our Insulated Camo Pants Special
We use Matrix insulation with Dryhunt membrane that keeps cold out but lets moisture escape. Unlike other hunting pants that overpromise, ours deliver in even the harshest weather conditions. The pants feature detachable suspenders that convert them into bibs when extra warmth is needed.
The Suspenders That Convert to Bibs
Sometimes you need pants, sometimes you need bibs. Our detachable suspender system lets you choose. The YKK zipper connection takes seconds to convert your pants into full bibs for extra core warmth. When temps rise or you're moving hard, remove the suspenders and wear them as regular pants.
How These Men's Hunting Pants Keep You Hunting Longer
Regular pants use thick insulation layers to block the cold. The problem is that they're so bulky that you can't move naturally. Your mobility suffers, and you make noise. Not ideal when deer are close.
Our insulated hunting pants work differently. The Matrix technology provides proven warmth without thickness. Just 0.9mm of insulation equals the warmth of pants twenty times thicker. The waterproof Dryhunt membrane features microscopic openings that prevent rain from penetrating, while allowing sweat vapor to escape freely. This keeps you dry whether you're sitting on a stand or pushing through wet woods.
Smart Storage with Cluster System
The Cluster system puts gear right where you need it. Ammo, calls, and GPS sit on your hips for instant access. No more fumbling through pockets when that buck steps out. The system securely and quietly holds up to 1.1 pounds of gear.
We added pockets everywhere that matter. Angled cargo pockets you can reach while seated. Waterproof pockets for electronics. Even a dedicated knife sheath. Every pocket placement is based on real hunting experience.
Adjustable Waist for Perfect Layering
The Varilock waist system adjusts a full size up or down. Keep it simple on mild mornings with just your base layer. Once those temperatures dip, add a mid-layer and you're good to go. Stack wool or fleece when it's brutal. The waist always fits right without bunching or gaps. This versatility means one pair of pants works all season long.
Built Strong Where It Matters
The anti-slip material on the knees provides stability when kneeling on wet logs or rocks. These features show the durability built into Hillman's insulated hunting pants.
The Durasuede outer shell resists thorns while staying quiet. No more ripping pants on barbed wire or briars. The rugged construction handles everything nature throws at you while maintaining the quiet performance deer hunters need.
Performs in Cold Weather Hunting
The 6OL cold weather hunting pants perform effectively from early fall at 68°F down to extreme cold at-5°F. Wear these lightweight pants over a base layer when warm. Add layering underneath when cold. The athletic cut accommodates extra layers without restricting movement.
Wind finds every weakness in hunting apparel. We sealed every seam for weather protection. The windproof design keeps elements out while maintaining breathability. These pants handle the harshest conditions nature brings during hunting season.
Stay Virtually Invisible: Your Ticket to Success
Smart planning starts with summer scouting when you're reading sign and patterning deer. These pants blend in perfectly whether you're out checking trail cameras or glassing fields. Here's the real answer, though: staying undetected takes more than just good camo. It's vital that you focus on controlling your scent and minimizing movement.
Different Hunts: Same Waterproof Protection
Tree Stand Hunting
Sitting for hours in cold weather tests the insulation of any hunting pants. Ours stay warm without bulk. The high waist blocks the wind. Detachable suspenders add core warmth as bibs. The quiet fabric won't spook deer when you shift position.
Spot and Stalk
Moving through dense brush requires gear that offers mobility. Our four-way stretch allows natural movement. The reinforced knees handle crawling. Since they're lightweight, these hunting pants won't slow you down. The camo pants patterns are versatile and work in any environment.
Waterfowl Hunting
Duck hunters know wet conditions are standard. These waterproof bibs perform when setting decoys before first light. The water-resistant coating sheds moisture. Full protection for wading in shallow water. Pair with our jacket for complete weather defense.
Spring Turkeys
These pants excel during spring turkey season when temperatures vary wildly. Quiet enough for close dialog with gobblers. Comfortable for long sits against trees.
Better Hunting Apparel Than Cheap Hunting Gear
These men's hunting pants deliver protection matching expensive gear at a better value. Our Matrix insulation outperforms traditional fills in warmth tests. The Dryhunt membrane beats Gore-Tex in breathability measurements. Hunters notice the difference immediately, as you'll stay warm and dry.
Unlike generic work clothing, we designed these specifically for hunting. Scent control treatments reduce odor. The camo hunting pants patterns match the game vision. Storage designed for hunting gear, not tools. Real hunting pants for serious hunters.
Built to Last Season After Season
Cheap pants fall apart after one season. We back the 6OL with a two-year warranty, but built it to last much longer. Quality zippers, reinforced stress points, and innovative construction mean these insulated waterproof hunting pants perform for years. The durability justifies the spending on quality gear.
Care is simple: machine wash warm, hang dry. The waterproof membrane doesn't need special treatment. No expensive sprays or treatments required to maintain performance through multiple seasons.
Camouflage Patterns That Disappear
Hillman's camo patterns break up your outline better than traditional camo pants. We designed these camo hunting pants patterns specifically to mimic how game animals perceive them.

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.
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.
6+ 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 and Cold weather conditions, this system delivers unparalleled comfort and performance with the option to add layers for Very Cold and Extreme Cold 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 Peak-point Vent
The peak-point vent, positioned at the highest evaporation point on the back of the waist, is strategically placed where the hottest moisture naturally rises and can be transported outside. The vents are stretchy and allow freedom of movement when sitting or squatting.
𖦹 Graphene Lining
Thousands of graphene tracks built into the lining use heat-flux synchronization to evenly distribute body heat and prevent cold spots, maintaining consistent warmth. Graphene effectively disrupts odor-causing bacteria
𖦹 Vent Zips
For intense activity, strategically placed ventilation zips allow you to customize the air flow by adjusting the openings to release excess heat and moisture, enhancing comfort during high-exertion tasks.
𖦹 Matrix®
The world's lightest closed-cell nano insulation not only protects you from the cold but is also highly breathable and features radiant bi-directional functionality, keeping you cooler when you overheat.
𖦹 Merino & Heatmax7
Positioned on the back, the merino fleece serves as a highly effective moisture-absorbing and wicking layer. The detachable back plate can also accommodate the optional Heatmax7 heater for added warmth in Arctic cold conditions.
Insulation Evolution
Matrix® sets a new standard for insulation. Its closed-cell structure is 10 times lighter, 80% less bulky, and 2000% more efficient than traditional materials. At just 0.13 oz./ft² (40 g/m²), and only 1.9 oz. (54 g) per jacket, it delivers near-vacuum thermal conductivity, providing reliable warmth down to 23°F (-20°C) without causing overheating in milder conditions. Engineered for extreme cold and warmer climates alike, Matrix® is the world’s lightest, most effective thermoregulating insulation.
Varilock®
An innovative closure system that allows precise size adjustments up or down by one size, ensuring a perfect fit whether you gain or lose weight. Made from molded polymer Velcro, it offers cutting-edge comfort and a reliable closure capable of withstanding 220 lbs (100 kg) of force.

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 0.5 kg / 1.1 lb. 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.
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.
The anti-slip material on the knees provides stability when kneeling on wet logs or rocks. These features show the durability built into Hillman's insulated hunting pants.
