Hunting clothing built to match your ambition

From field-tested jackets to reinforced trousers, breathable base layers to sharp-cut shirts, our range is built as a system. Every piece reflects over 40 years of technical refinement and feedback from hunters across Europe and beyond – people who spend more days in the field than they don’t. This is not casual outdoor wear. It’s gear engineered for accuracy, freedom of movement, and weather that doesn’t play fair.

When you’ve planned the day, studied the conditions, and know the terrain by heart – your clothing shouldn’t be the variable. Härkila’s hunting clothing is developed for those who expect gear to hold up, stay silent, and perform under pressure in any environment.

Jackets and vests made to match the way you hunt

The purpose of a hunting 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 hunting jacket is designed not only for protection, but for performance. We engineer each one to move with your body, resist harsh weather, and stay silent in motion.

Our waterproof jackets use membranes like GORE-TEX® or Härkila Weather System® (HWS®), paired with breathable linings that keep your microclimate balanced – whether you’re hiking through mountains, waiting in a high seat, or covering long distances on foot. Ventilation options regulate heat, while reinforced seams and tough outer fabrics withstand brush, branches, and rugged terrain.

Hunting vests – or waistcoats – are the go-to for active hunts in milder weather. They provide core warmth while keeping arms free for smooth firearm or bow handling. Reinforced shoulders support clean gun mounts, while large front 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 a rifle, drawing a bow, or reaching for gear. Pockets are placed for instinctive access, with silent zips or magnetic closures that won’t betray your position. And for colder climates, insulated versions keep warmth locked in – without adding unnecessary bulk.

Hunting trousers built for serious ground

The right pair of trousers won’t slow you down or give away your presence. Härkila hunting trousers are made for those 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 climbing steep inclines, crawling low, or sitting patiently for hours.

Many of our trousers use waterproof membranes or water-repellent treatments, keeping out rain, snow, and soaked ground. Features like boot zips, adjustable waists, and articulated knees make long days in uneven terrain more manageable. Storage is designed with intention: multiple pockets for easy access even when layered up or carrying gear. Selected models also include knee pad compartments and ventilation zips – because adaptability is as important as durability.

Base layers, midlayers, and shirts for every climate

Base layers and midlayers are the foundation of performance in the field. They regulate temperature, manage moisture, and act as your second skin during long days outdoors.

Our base layers use premium materials that are fast-drying, breathable, and soft against the skin. They wick away moisture efficiently, preventing chills when activity slows and ensuring heat doesn’t build up when the pace quickens. Stretch construction and flatlock seams reduce friction, keeping you comfortable for hours on end.

Midlayers – from fleece and wool blends to insulated tops and hunting shirts – add warmth without sacrificing movement or stealth. Many shirts double as functional midlayers, combining quiet fabrics with practical features like button cuffs, chest pockets, and reinforced elbows. Others provide targeted insulation for efficient layering.

Some models include grid-backed linings for enhanced airflow, while others integrate wind-resistant panels for exposed ridgelines or open plains. Details like thumb loops, zip pockets, and snug collars are designed to layer seamlessly under outerwear.

Hunting socks that support every step

When you’re covering kilometres of mixed terrain, the wrong socks can wear you down faster than the weather. Härkila hunting socks are built with the same focus as our outerwear – combining technical performance with long-lasting comfort.

We use Merino wool blends for natural temperature regulation, moisture-wicking, and odour control. Reinforced heels and toes resist repeated friction inside boots, while compression zones reduce fatigue during long hunts.

Our socks are available in seasonal weights, from lightweight options for warm-weather stalks to insulated versions built for frozen ground and static waits. A snug fit ensures no slipping, bunching, or blisters – only reliable comfort with every step.

Paired with the right footwear, they help manage sweat, heat, and pressure in all conditions, from mountains to marshes.

Hunting clothing for different types of hunts

No two hunts are alike. Your clothing should reflect that. The demands of a driven boar hunt in Europe are different from stalking elk in North America, sitting in a high seat at dawn, or pursuing plains game in Africa. That’s why Härkila designs hunting clothing with purpose-specific features that adapt to the rhythm and requirements of each style.

• Driven hunts demand quick reactions and adaptability. Lightweight, breathable clothing with silent fabrics and efficient ventilation keeps you ready for sudden movements without overheating.
• High-seat hunting requires stillness and insulation. Waterproof membranes, thermal linings, and windproof protection ensure focus even in biting cold or damp conditions.
• Stalking and spot-and-stalk hunting demands stealth. Clothing must be close-fitting, silent, and flexible, with camo options like AXIS MSP® to blend into terrain at both long and close range. Reinforced knees and cuffs support low, deliberate movement.
• Mountain and backcountry hunts call for ruggedness. Durable fabrics, articulated designs, and technical layering systems handle altitude, shifting climates, and heavy use.

Wherever you hunt, Härkila clothing is built to keep you prepared, protected, and performing at your best.
