Wherever in the world you’ll be hunting, get protected with this selection of hunting clothing that’s suitable in all seasons
Palearctic 365 jacket
As the name suggests, this hunting jacket is designed for use all year round, whether you’ll be hunting on low or high ground. It’s made to keep out wind chill, thanks to a three-layer laminate with integrated 37.5 membrane. A distinctive seam pattern that avoids seams on the shoulders means water’s less likely to make its way in, too.
Price: £270.23

Deerhunter Rusky Silent
Deerhunter might style this as a winter stalking jacket, but we know conditions can take a turn for the worse at any time of year here in the UK, so we think it looks like a valuable addition to your kit all year round!
As the name suggests, it is built to be extremely quiet, so even during close-range encounters it’ll keep your quarry unaware of your presence. Other features include a thick lining that’s both wind and waterproof, Deer-Tex membrane, and underarm ventilation.
Price: Around £230

Fjallraven Barents Pro Trousers
The Barents Pro are a versatile set of trousers for the field. Designed to fit comfortably with a regular waist and pre-shaped knees for mobility, the trousers’ length can be tailored to your exact height to ensure a perfect fit.
The trousers are made from Fjallraven’s G-1000 fabric, a lightweight yet robust blend of polyester and cotton. The fabric’s tight weave ensures it offers excellent protection from wind, insects and undergrowth, and it can be adapted to suit the conditions using Greenland Wax. Adding more wax increases the fabric’s wind and water-resistance, ideal for colder conditions, while in the summer, the wax can be washed out.
Price: £135
