Clothes for Hunting & Nature Photography

The type of clothing material matters a lot when you're spending hours in nature. Look for quiet fabrics that won’t rustle while you move, such as softshell fabrics that excel due to their balance of wind and water resistance, breathability, and quietness. For lightweight performance, synthetic blends like polyester offer quick-drying, durable, and moisture-wicking properties that meet the demands of the wild.

Layering is key. Start with a snug base layer to keep moisture off your skin. Add insulating mid-layers for warmth, and top it off with a protective outer layer. For tips, check out our Layering Guide - perfect for photographers and hunters alike.

The right fit gives you freedom of movement and room for layers. Base layers should hug the body without being tight, while mid-layers should be relaxed for airflow and comfort. Your outer layer should allow a full range of motion in your arms and knees without bunching, so you can squat, kneel, and twist without restriction. Overall, a slightly looser fit keeps you mobile and comfortable during long sessions outdoors.

Smart design is everything. Choose camo or neutral tones to blend into your surroundings. Look for fabrics that are silent, waterproof or water-resistant, and feature stretchy, tear-resistant construction. Features like ventilation zippers, adjustable cuffs, and plenty of secure pockets can make your life a lot easier in the field. Bonus if it’s lightweight and packable - you never know where the trail will lead.
