Stalking Jackets

Before first light, easing along a woodland edge or spying across an open corrie, your jacket is the layer between you and whatever the weather decides to do. It has to keep you dry and warm, let you move freely and stay silent when a deer is close. Our stalking jackets are chosen for exactly that, across the full range of British stalking conditions.

Quiet Above All Else

A hunting jacket that rustles is a liability at close range. Soft, brushed outer fabrics and low-noise waterproof membranes make far less sound as you brush past bracken, branches or your rifle sling. That matters most on the final approach, when a single scrape of fabric can put a deer on alert. Breathability matters too, because a stalk often means a hard climb followed by a long wait, and trapped sweat soon turns cold. Vents, two-way zips and a breathable membrane all help you manage your temperature without taking the jacket off.

Choosing a Jacket for the Season

Spring and summer roe stalking calls for light, breathable shells that pack away when the sun comes out, and our article on summer stalking and June roe explains how warm-weather kit needs to perform. Browse our lightweight stalking shells for milder conditions, or for autumn and winter choose insulated jackets and fully waterproof shells for exposed hill ground and cold high seat mornings. Natural greens and browns suit most ground, a camouflage stalking jacket helps break up your outline in woodland, and a tweed hunting jacket remains a favourite on the estate and the hill.

Fit, Features and Trusted Brands

Mens hunting jackets and women's styles alike should leave room for a fleece underneath and full movement when you shoulder the rifle. Look for an adjustable hood that turns with your head, cuffs that seal without bulk and pockets you can open quietly with gloves on. We stock hunting jackets for men and women from Deerhunter, Sitka, Jack Pyke, Harkila, Pinewood and Seeland, each known for field durability on UK woodland, estate and hill ground.
