Huntworth
Huntworth understands the budget-minded hunter who requires dependable gear. The Men's Bonded Jacket features a double layer of velvety, low-pile fleece for silent stalking, while a waffle fleece lines the insides to capture body heat. Premium add-ons include a harness access hole, tapered arms, and an antimicrobial treatment to cut down on scent. The Bonded Jacket and Soft Shell Pant are water repellent for unexpected rain. The pants are fitted with deep front pockets and zip cargo pockets for extra storage. Both pieces come in Huntworth's new Hidd'n camo. Jacket: $100; Pants: $70; huntworthgear.com
Nomad
The last thing you want is loud swishing noises when stirring in your treestand. Nomad created its Cottonwood 1/2 Zip Jacket with Berber fleece for a silent, deadly garment that is the perfect outer shell for long sits. A windproof membrane lines the jacket to keep warmth in and cold out. Whitetail hunters will appreciate the safety harness port, a hood for snowy days, and a large front pocket for storage and snacks. $180; nomadoutdoors.com
Cabela's
In foul-weather conditions an insulated puffy jacket can be the difference between tagging out or going home early. The Cabela's Insulated Jacket is made with 600-fill-power Thinsulate Featherless Insulation to deliver lightweight warmth for late-season hunts. A polyester shell with a water-repellent finish sheds rain and snow, while a shock-cord sweep hem and knitted cuffs keep frigid winds out. The Insulated Jacket is available in Cabela's O2 Octane camo. $100; cabelas.com
