wild guide: cold-weather hunting
HEAD, NECK & HANDS
A hat, gloves,
mittens and/or a
muff are also critical
in cold weather.
I like wool mitts
because they help
wick the moisture
from my hands,
particularly the kind
with the flip-open
fingertips. With the
majority of body
heat lost through
your head, a wool
or pile equivalent
hat and, for extreme
BOOTS
cold, a balaclava are
a must. Keep your
head, neck, and face
warm, and you will
buy yourself hours
out in the cold.
If you’re looking
for the best of all
worlds, check out
Sitka Gear’s Whitetail
Fanatic accessories
including their Gore
Windstopper Berber
beanie and neck
gaitor; and their
Incinerator Flip-Mitt.
In a combination
micro-fleece fabric
glove/mitt, Sitka
Gear’s Incinerator
Flip-Mitt is unreal.
Also made with
a Windstopper
laminate and
Primaloft Down
Blend Gold, if you
need your fingers
free, you just flip
off the mitt and
manage with full
dexterity in the
glove.
