Late season hunting means adding another layer or two to your hunting outfit. You want to be warm, but not so bundled up that body movement is overly restricted, like Ralphie’s little brother wore on the way to school in the movie “A Christmas Story.”

Today’s high-tech fabrics allow you to wear less while staying warmer in the woods. Blustery days require wearing all the layers from start to finish, while balmy days allow you to peel off layers as the sun warms the air.

What makes layering so effective is you can adjust what you are wearing with the prevailing conditions. On warmer days, the base and mid layer might be enough. Just aim for comfort and the level of warmth that suits your needs.

Layer up with these late-season hunting garments that demonstrate how base, middle and outer layers work together to provide the most comfortable and effective dryness and warmth.

Heavier than our lightweight option and lighter than our heavyweight option, this military-grade base layer has flatlock seams for an enhanced fit and comfort, plus thumbholes on the easy-moving raglan sleeves to prevent them from riding up as you put on other layers. Fitted for perfect layering. Polyester/spandex fabric features dual-surface construction with a smooth fleece face and a grid fleece back; grid fleece reduces bulk but increases compressibility for warmth without bulk. This men's base layer shirt from Cabela's is fortified with 4MOST INHIBIT to help suppress odor.

The insulating layer helps you retain heat radiated by your body. The more efficiently this layer traps heat, the warmer you’ll be. Thicker or puffier materials equals warmer. Polyester fleece is popular with hunters, because it can be worn as an outer layer during early season hunts. Fleece stays warm even when damp and it dries fast. It also breathes well, meaning you are less likely to get too hot. Synthetic insulated jackets are another ideal choice for hunting. They are highly compressible for easy packing. Synthetics don’t compress as well as down, but they are ideal for retaining insulating ability when damp. Plus, you get a shell material providing water and wind resistance.

Designed to keep you agile, mobile, concealed, and stealthy, this RedHead hoodie brings ultra-quiet 100% polyester, a 1/4-zip front for custom ventilation with a chin guard perfect for protecting bearded hunters, and a kangaroo front pocket to keep hands warm and store essentials.

This top layer protects you from wind, rain and snow. Think of the outer layer as the shell that protects the middle and base layers. Shells range from simple wind-resistant jackets to parkas. The outer shell is important in stormy weather, because you can get seriously chilled if water penetrates the inner layers. Shells can be waterproof or water resistant, and both categories are breathable. Waterproof shells are also ideal for waterfowl hunting, which occurs during the late season whitetail time period.
