Hunting costume: the choice for different seasons

In order to actively relax in nature and get pleasure from it, people always prefer the most comfortable conditions. The same applies to the form of clothing in which they wish to go hunting. It is clear that beginners and experienced hunters will need high-quality, reliable, as well as comfortable suits.

Choosing for themselves high-quality equipment, someone listens to the advice of friends or acquaintances. Someone looks at the price, but for someone the important factor will be the presence of a stylish appearance and a variety of "chips". How to choose the most suitable variant of a hunting suit for yourself? Are there any selection criteria?

Fabric quality

As a fabric for the top of the suit, polyethers like oxford, taslan, taffeta, etc. can be used. To improve consumer characteristics, fabrics are covered with various impregnations, as well as polyurethane coating. These materials can be well protected from strong winds and damp, but they are not very comfortable in the process of wearing - they heat up when it is freezing, accumulate static charges, they have poor air exchange. Moreover, separate costumes from such materials make rustling sounds in the process of movement, and naturally they unmask the hunter.

Much better for the harsh Russian reality have proven membrane tissue. Their feature is that they are water and windproof. At the same time, the materials "breathe" and almost silent. They are two-layer materials, which include knitted polyesters on the outside with a special coating on the reverse side.

Membrane coverings have a fabric mesh. Such compositions prevent the penetration of water and cold mass into the inside of the suits, while getting rid of excessive moisture. Fabric coloring also has a special significance, especially for hunters.

Heaters

Particular attention when purchasing demi-season or winter hunting suits is drawn to the choice of the right insulation. "Antediluvian" insulation of batting or sheepskin is not even considered. They have long been replaced by light synthetic materials, with excellent heat-saving qualities, with a nominal thickness and, of course, quite an acceptable price.

In demi-hunting hunting suits, there can be additions in the form of linings or removable jackets, material for which can be inexpensive soft and warm synthetic fleece. A winter cheap insulation can serve as a lining of padding polyester. Although, to create a real warm hunting suit, you will need to use no less than three layers of padding polyester. As a result, the costume can become large and not very comfortable. And all the same, even in this case, the heat savings will be "on the top three."

Whereas with more modern and effective heaters such as holofiber, holofan, faybermax these tasks are solved more qualitatively. They are well breathable and do not allow moisture to be absorbed. However, pay for this pleasure will have a lot more.

The most high-tech and comfortable material can safely be called tinsuleyt with all its analogues. Having a small density and thickness, tinsuleyt will withstand even severe frosts perfectly. This material has significantly less weight and bulk than cheaper counterparts.

Equipment

With prolonged exposure to severe frosts, high humidity, the most appropriate hunting suit can be called one that includes a jacket and bib overalls, and not just a jacket and pants. Jackets, cartridge belts, gloves, as well as caps can also be included in more extended sets. As a result, these costumes will be more functional, but more expensive.

What else attention is drawn to

Experts recommend paying attention to whether there are warm hoods with wide flaps, tightening drawstrings, adjustable valves on the sleeves, reliable accessories (buttons, buttons, velcro, zippers) in hunting suits. The seams in the suits inside should have sizing, however, not all cases can be ascertained.

It is also recommended to carefully read the material of the lining. Ordinary slippery synthetic materials are not very comfortable in the process of wearing. For example, cotton products, while hygienic and soft, quickly lose their appearance and foul. The ideal option can be called fleece lining, which provide comfort and extra warmth. In addition, if the fleece lining can be unfastened for cleaning and washing, then these suits will be more comfortable.

Pockets

It is desirable that the pockets were in sufficient quantities, and their location should be evenly throughout the costume. For example, the presence of breast patch pockets would be convenient for placing a whistle for a dog.

Do not forget about the inner pockets. Fine, if they are made of impermeable materials. Usually in such places all necessary documentation is saved.

Sanitary pockets

Practically no one takes this detail seriously. And this despite the fact that sanitary pockets are very convenient for hunters. So, for example, the presence of a zipper at the back will facilitate the administration of natural needs, without being freed from the hunting costume. This functionality is very convenient to use to save time, and in winter and to save heat.

Lightning bolts

Lightning must be in good condition and easily opened. It is best to choose hunting suits with double zipper, the presence of which will help to unfasten it from top to bottom, and vice versa.

Camouflage

Camouflage colors should be suitable precisely for the area on which hunting is supposed to be conducted. Experts recommend not to contact army camouflage uniform for hunting. And all because the army camouflage uniform was calculated on the features of human vision. Whereas for hunting wild animals, experts will be engaged in the selection of hunting camouflage. In particular, the presence of a white hunting costume does not guarantee a successful hunt in winter.

Noiselessness

Of course, all hunting camouflage suits should be noiseless. Connoisseurs know that it is necessary to do a check fabric still in the store. The material should not make creaking or rustling sounds. The presence of even a small noise will frighten away the fearful beast, and the hunter will not be able to approach him at a distance of a shot.

Summer hunting suits

Summer hunting costumes consist of color tunic of the corresponding terrain, jackets, trousers and caps.

What you will have to pay special attention to is what is actually needed in summer forests. And these are caps with long and wide peaks that have insect nets. The presence of such caps will not allow hunters to break away from the process of aiming because of mosquito bites. In addition, they help aiming at the game that flies from the sunny side.

The choice of gloves and shoes should also be approached thoroughly. The best in this case would be leather shoes.

Equally important for hunters has the property of suits for the allocation of odors. Wild animals are extremely sensitive to them, and the slightest indication of unfamiliar smells can destroy the whole event.

Choosing summer hunting suits some of the hunters choose cheap army "equipment". The material from which this form is sewn is basically cotton fabric. In it, hunters, as a rule, feel most comfortable.

Summer anti-encephalic suits

Such costumes are universal for summer hunting. Their advantages are considered high protective performance against annoying insects. Such suits are purchased in any stores for the sale of workwear, and at fairly low prices.

However, they have pronounced disadvantages, among them: low strength, weak fast breaking lightning, as well as fast washable water-repellent impregnation. This indicates that the excessive use of such a hunting suit is unacceptable.

Raincoats

Experienced hunters know that on any hunt you need to have an ordinary plastic raincoat. The cost of such outfits is low. When it rains heavily, these kinds of protection are indispensable. Of course, there are alternatives, such as jackets with waterproof membranes, but they are heavy and more expensive.

Winter hunting suits

Winter suits for hunters can be purchased at any specialized clothing store. Of course, such costumes are more expensive than similar summer ones.

In all winter hunting suits there is one main quality - they should not allow hunters to freeze. As a result, one of the main factors in the selection will be high-quality and effective insulation. In Russian latitudes, experienced hunters use any synthetic insulation that has a density of 200-220 g / m².

Good heaters retain their properties, even if they are wet. It is better to choose breathable materials that can restore shape after sweeping.

The lining material must be pleasant to the touch and have the ability to dry quickly. It is advisable to make sure that the warm lining is inside the pockets. In cold weather, it will help to warm hands when needed.

Suits Polygon KM

Such costumes are included in the Russian equipment for hunting in the winter. These hunting winter costumes keep warm well at temperatures up to minus 20 degrees. This is certainly not imported hunting suit Alaska. Nevertheless, they are not expensive and rather qualitative. They are chosen by experienced hunters.

Spring and Autumn hunting suits

Autumn-spring hunting suits are made from materials such as wool or wool. Cotton fabrics at this time of the year will not be useful, and naturally not able to warm the hunters.

The most suitable option would be the presence of a jacket with long sleeves. Experts recommend that the jacket itself also have a certain length, approximately to the middle of the thighs, and have water-repellent impregnation. These suits protect against cold weather, as well as high humidity levels.

Such costumes are made of cloth. It is a type of wool material so dense that it can keep warm for a long time. From the fabric there is no irritation even on the naked body, and it dries quickly. Officer overcoats are also sewn from it, which have a very high wear resistance.

Hunting Costume Care

The main quality of all hunting suits are their water-repellent properties. Actually, this is their parameter and disappears in the course of constant use. However, there is a mass of a wide variety of sprays with which special clothing is impregnated. In addition, there is one proven folk remedy. This is soaking clothes in a 40% soap solution, then in a 20% solution of vitriol. After drying the clothes, it is rubbed with wax.
