Camouflage from the waist up only does half the job. When you are sitting in a hide, kneeling in a ditch or crouched in reeds waiting for duck at dusk, your legs are just as visible to incoming birds as your shoulders. Camouflage shooting trousers complete your concealment and stand up to the wet, muddy ground where pigeon and wildfowl shooting so often takes place.

Why Wear Camouflage Shooting Trousers

Pigeon flighting and wildfowling reward patience and stillness, and your outline needs to disappear against hedges, netting, stubbles or marsh. Camouflage shooting trousers break up that shape, while hard-wearing fabrics cope with kneeling, crawling into position and sitting on damp ground for hours. They are also popular with beaters and rough shooters, as camo patterns hide mud and wear well through a busy season. Quiet fabrics make a real difference, since rustling trousers can flare birds just as easily as movement.

Lightweight or Waterproof Camo Trousers

Choose your weight by season. Lightweight camouflage trousers are ideal for a spring or summer day's pigeon shooting over drilling and laid crops, where breathability matters and heavy waterproofs would be uncomfortable. For crisp autumn days on the foreshore or cold winter evenings at the flight pond, fully windproof, waterproof and breathable camo trousers keep you dry and warm while you wait for your quarry. Look for reinforced knees and seat, zipped pockets that keep essentials secure, and hems or leg zips that fit comfortably over wellingtons or boots.

Patterns, Fit and Brands

Match your pattern to your surroundings, with greener patterns for summer hedgerows and browner, reed-coloured patterns for winter stubbles and marsh. A comfortable fit when crouching and climbing matters more than a tailored look, so leave room for a thermal layer on cold days. Our range features fits from top-quality brands including Seeland, Harkila, Deerhunter and Ridgeline, so you can find camo shooting trousers that suit both your shooting and your budget.
