Shooting clothing built to match your ambition

From field-tested shooting jackets to reinforced shooting trousers, breathable base layers to sharp-cut shirts, our range is built to work together. Every piece reflects over 40 years of technical refinement and feedback from those who hunt more days than they don’t. This is not casual outdoor wear. It’s a system designed for accuracy, movement, and weather that doesn’t play fair.

When you’ve planned the day, tracked the conditions, and know the terrain by heart - your clothing shouldn’t be the variable. Härkila’s shooting clothing is developed for hunters who expect gear to hold up, stay silent, and perform under pressure.You’ll find waterproof membranes, functional layering, smart ventilation, and quiet finishes - but none of it added for show. We believe that every feature should serve the hunter. That’s the difference between technical gear and trusted gear.

In the sections below, we’ll walk through the materials, cuts, and functions that make Härkila shooting clothing the choice of hunters who take their time seriously. This is gear designed to disappear into the work.

Shooting jackets and shooting vests made to match the way you hunt

The purpose of a shooting jacket isn’t just to keep you warm and comfortable. It’s about readiness - to draw, to move, to stay still, to wait it out. That’s why every Härkila shooting jacket is designed not only for protection, but for performance. We engineer each one to move with your body, resist weather, and stay quiet in motion.

Our waterproof jackets use waterproof and windproof membranes like GORE-TEX® or Härkila Weather System® (HWS®), paired with breathable linings that keep your microclimate balanced - even during long walks or changing pace. Smart ventilation lets heat escape, while reinforced seams and durable outer fabrics take the brunt of tough terrain, branches, and weather.

Shooting vests - often referred to as waistcoats - are the go-to for driven shoots, clay days, and active hunts in milder weather. They provide core warmth while keeping arms free for swift handling. Reinforced shoulders support clean gun mounts, while large front cartridge pockets and smooth armholes ensure speed and fluidity. Worn over base layers or under a shell, they’re as adaptable as the hunt itself.

Shoulder construction is cut for freedom of movement, whether you’re raising your rifle or reaching for gear. Pockets are placed for instinctive access, with silent zips or magnetic closures that don’t betray your presence. And for those who hunt in steep, cold, or shifting conditions, insulated versions keep warmth locked in - without adding weight or bulk.

Men’s shooting clothing isn’t completed without shooting trousers

The right pair of trousers won’t slow you down or give away your position. Härkila shooting trousers are made for hunters who cover serious ground, shift positions often, and stay out when the weather turns. Every design begins with one goal: unrestricted function in real hunting situations.

That means fabric that bends, breathes, and holds its shape. Reinforced panels over high-wear zones like knees and cuffs. Quiet finishes that let you slip through brush without a sound. And a cut that stays put whether you’re hiking steep inclines, crouching low, or sitting in wait.

Many of our waterproof trousers use membranes or water-repellent treatments, keeping rain, snow, and soaked ground from creeping in. You’ll also find features like boot zips, adjustable waists, and articulated knees - details that matter when the day is long and the terrain isn’t flat.

Storage is designed with intention: multiple pockets positioned for easy access, even when you’re layered up or carrying gear. And in select models, we build in knee pad compartments and ventilation zips, so you can adapt to both the terrain and the task without compromise.

Explore our range of base layers, midlayers, and shooting shirts

Base layers and midlayers are your temperature regulators, moisture managers, and second skin during long days in the field. Härkila’s layering system is designed to keep your core steady.

Our base layers use high-quality materials that are fast-drying, breathable, and soft against the skin. They wick moisture efficiently, preventing cold shocks when activity stops and ensuring heat doesn’t build up when the pace picks up again. Stretch construction and flatlock seams reduce friction and bulk, so you stay comfortable no matter how many hours you’ve been wearing them.

Midlayers - whether fleece, wool blends, insulated layers, or shooting shirts - add warmth without sacrificing movement or silence. Many shooting shirts double as functional midlayers, combining soft, quiet fabrics with practical features like button cuffs, chest pockets, and reinforced elbows. Others bring just the right amount of insulation to make layering efficient without bulk.

Some models include grid-backed linings for better air circulation, while others use wind-resistant panels for exposed ridgelines or open fields. You’ll also find thumb loops, zip pockets, and snug collars designed to integrate cleanly with outerwear.

Shooting socks that support every step

When you’re covering kilometres of mixed terrain, the wrong socks can wear you down faster than any weather. Härkila shooting socks are built with the same focus as our outerwear - combining technical performance with comfort that lasts all day.

Materials matter. That’s why we use Merino wool blends for natural temperature regulation, moisture-wicking, and odour control. Reinforced heels and toes stand up to repeated friction in boots, while targeted compression zones provide support and reduce fatigue during long hunts.

Our socks come in a range of thicknesses to match the season, from lightweight options for early autumn stalks to insulated versions built for frozen ground and static waits. The fit is snug without restricting circulation, ensuring they stay in place - no bunching, slipping, or blisters.

Paired with the right footwear, they help manage sweat, heat, and pressure over long distances and shifting conditions. It’s one of the simplest pieces of gear you’ll put on - but also one of the most important.

Hunting clothing for different types of hunts

No two hunts are alike. Your shooting clothing should reflect that. The demands of a driven hunt are different from stalking open ground or sitting in a high seat at first light. That’s why Härkila designs shooting clothing with purpose-specific features that match the rhythm and requirements of each hunting style.

On driven hunts, quick reactions and unpredictable movements call for lightweight, highly breathable clothing that won’t restrict your swing or slow you down. Silent fabrics and well-placed ventilation are key - especially when alternating between long waits and sudden action.

High-seat hunting, by contrast, demands insulation and stillness. You’re exposed to wind, moisture, and dropping temperatures for extended periods. Here, our shooting jackets and trousers with waterproof membranes, thermal linings, and strategic reinforcements keep you comfortable and focused - even when the weather turns.

Stalking requires stealth. Clothing must be close-fitting yet silent, with natural stretch that moves with you. Camo options like AXIS MSP® help you blend into the terrain at both long and close range, while reinforced knees and cuffs support low, quiet movement.
