Discover our deer stalking clothing for precision and stealth

When it comes to deer stalking, precision and stealth are paramount. The right stalking clothing plays a critical role in achieving both. At Härkila, we’ve designed our deer stalking clothing with the modern hunter in mind - someone who requires not only comfort and protection, but also the ability to move silently and efficiently through the toughest landscapes.With decades of expertise and a commitment to Scandinavian craftsmanship, we’ve created stalking clothing that ensures you can stay undetected while maintaining peak performance, no matter the conditions.

Developed by professional and expert deer stalkers

Stalking is a test of both the hunter and his gear. Being unseen and unheard as you move through the forest requires strength, endurance, and stealth. It demands more from your gear – no rustling of zippers or buttons, no membrane or noisy fabric, no white or colors that trigger the quarry. No, disappearing to the senses of the quarry is no easy feat.

With extensive input from our market board of professional and expert deer stalkers, we have developed the Deer Stalker range to be the epitome of what is demanded of stalking gear.

From the placement of the pockets to the choice of fabrics to exactly which products we would develop – everything has been intentional, and nothing had been coincidental. We’re proud to bring you the newest member of Härkila family: the Deer Stalker range.

Advanced HWS membrane for all-weather protection

The Härkila Weather System (HWS®) is essential for hunters who need to remain undetected while facing unpredictable conditions. When stalking deer, exposure to wind, rain, and changing temperatures can significantly impact your focus and success. The HWS® membrane ensures that these elements stay at bay, providing reliable windproof and waterproof protection throughout the hunt.During a deer stalk, maintaining silence is as critical as staying dry. The HWS® membrane allows hunters to move through dense brush or across open ground without worrying about moisture weighing them down or interfering with their stealth. Its breathability ensures that perspiration escapes, preventing overheating during long, steady approaches or when traversing varied terrain.In addition to keeping you protected from the weather, the membrane’s flexible design ensures quiet movement, reducing the rustling sound of fabric that could alert your prey. This attention to detail allows for discreet, focused stalking, giving hunters the edge when moving close to their target.

Insect repellent treatment in deer stalking clothing for added comfort

When stalking deer in the wild, exposure to pests like mosquitoes, ticks, and flies can quickly become a distraction. These pests are not only uncomfortable, but can also pose a risk to your health.

To address this challenge, we at Härkila incorporate Tanatex® insect repellent treatment into select garments within the Deer Stalker range. This treatment helps to keep these persistent insects at bay, allowing you to stay focused on the hunt without being constantly bothered.

The Tanatex® treatment works by providing a barrier that disrupts the attraction of pests to the wearer, giving you a significant advantage when spending long hours in the field. As you move through dense undergrowth or stand still in a high seat, the last thing you need is to be distracted by buzzing insects or the threat of tick bites.

By integrating this repellent technology directly into the fabric of our deer stalking clothing, we ensure that the protection lasts for extended periods, without requiring reapplication.

This feature is particularly beneficial during the warmer months or in regions where insect activity is high. It allows you to remain in your desired position for longer periods, which is vital when deer stalking.

Versatile layering options for changing conditions

In deer stalking, the environment can change rapidly, making it crucial to have deer stalking clothing that can adapt as conditions shift. Härkila's layering system is designed to offer hunters the flexibility needed to remain comfortable and focused during long, dynamic hunts. During a stalk, you might find yourself moving through dense, humid forests or standing still for extended periods, exposed to the elements. The right layering system allows you to regulate your body temperature and stay dry, regardless of your activity level. Base layers wick away moisture, ensuring that you stay dry even during the most active portions of your stalk. Mid-layers provide insulation when the weather turns cold, while outer layers protect against wind, rain, and other environmental factors that can arise unexpectedly.

The key to effective layering in deer stalking is having the ability to adjust. As temperatures fluctuate or activity levels change, you need to be able to add or remove layers with ease.

This flexibility ensures you can stay silent and focused on your movements, without distractions from discomfort or fluctuating body temperatures. Additionally, the materials used in Härkila’s stalking clothing allow for quiet movement, reducing noise when shifting position or making your way through dense brush.

Silent and durable deer stalking clothing for a stealthy movement

Deer stalking demands the utmost in stealth, and clothing plays a vital role in achieving that goal. Härkila’s deer stalking clothing is crafted using materials that are both silent and durable, enabling hunters to move through dense vegetation and rugged terrain without alerting their prey.The use of specially engineered fabrics ensures that the deer stalking clothing remains quiet even when brushing against branches, undergrowth, or rocks. This is essential when stalking deer, as even the slightest noise can disrupt the hunt and cause the deer to flee.

Our choice of low-noise tricot fabric, treated with durable water-repellent coatings, enhances the stealth required for a successful stalk. These materials are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of the field, offering resistance to wear and tear while maintaining quiet flexibility.

Durability is just as important as silence in deer stalking clothing. The fabrics in Härkila’s garments are built to endure the rigours of long hunting trips, ensuring that they hold up against the elements and physical stress. Whether pushing through thick brush, climbing over rocks, or enduring harsh weather, these materials stand strong, giving you the reliability needed for extended hunts.
