LAST UPDATED: September 12th, 2024
There are lots of great new apparel options rolling out for hunters for the 2024 seasons. These garments are designed to keep you cool, warm, scent free, and more comfortable than ever.
Check out our roundup of the best new hunting apparel for 2024.
ScentLok Saddle Hunter Midweight Jacket and Pant
New for 2024, ScentLok expands its saddle hunting range with the Saddle Hunter Midweight Jacket and Pant.
ScentLok repositioned the pockets on the Saddle Hunter Midweight Jacket. Its elevated front pockets are strategically positioned above the bridge of your saddle for easy access.
On the backside, ScentLok added a drop-tail back to fully cover your rearend for warmth while tucked into the saddle itself. The jacket’s versatility is enhanced for both hybrid saddle and treestand hunters due to its tree harness port. The smooth polyester forearms give hunters increased clearance when drawing their bows.
Back pockets are useless on regular hunting pants when saddle hunting, so ScentLok eliminated them on their new Midweight Pant. Their removal also alleviates pressure points caused by back pockets on longer sits. Instead, the apparel experts added precisely placed front cargo pockets.
The Saddle Hunter Midweight Pant also features built-in, but removeable knee pads. Again, ScentLok addresses a perpetual pain point for saddle hunters. The kneepads are just thick enough to take the edge off without feeling bulky on the walk to and from the tree.
The materials were meticulously selected as well. The Saddle Hunter Midweight Jacket and Pant sport a deadly quiet, polyester micro-tricot shell fabric with a warm diamond-shaped poly fleece lining. The combination is warm, comfortable, and stealthy in the woods.
Price – $179 (jacket) / $179 (pant)
ScentLok Hats
There’s several great new options in the way of hats from ScentLok to help keep your noggin warm on the coldest days of hunting season. The hats are featured in the standard ScentLok line as well as one hat in the BE:1 series of apparel. Both hats are insulated, waterproof and windproof.
Check out the new hats from ScentLok in the video below with Justin Zarr.
Blocker Outdoors Wooltex Jacket & Pant
Blocker Outdoors has captured the classic wool styling and its insulating properties and infused them with technology, fit, and performance in their all-new Wooltex Pro Jack and Pant.
At the epicenter of the new Wooltex Pro Jacket and Pant is a wool and poly fleece blend, yielding that nostalgic woolen look, but with an even better feel.
On the inside, you’ll appreciate its poly grid fleece interior. Not only is it exceptionally comfortable, but the grid texture also lets air through the channels to generate heat.
Expertly sandwiched between the wool/poly fleece exterior and poly grid fleece interior is Blocker’s heralded WindBlocker windproof membrane. WindBlocker is a high performance laminate system that blocks the wind while allowing moisture and perspiration to escape from the inside, leaving you warm and comfortable.
Additionally, the Wooltex Pro Jacket and Pant employ Blocker’s advanced S3 anti-microbial finish to minimize odors caused by moisture buildup. The famed S3 treatment’s silver ions bind to and penetrate the surface of odor-causing bacteria on contact. Silver ions disrupt the microbe’s DNA, preventing the formation of odor.
Tailormade for mid- to late-season hunts, the Wooltex Pro Jacket features an adaptable, well-fitted three-way hood, as well as an adjustable waist to lock in the warmth. Three pockets – one chest and two waist – yield quick access to hunting essentials. And for safety’s sake, Blocker included a safety harness access port.
The Wooltex Pro Pant sports a six pocket storage system – two waist, two rear, and two cargo. Special rear waistband elastic provides a comfortable fit, standing, kneeling, or sitting. And the pant’s intelligently designed, articulated knees track with you while hiking in and out of the field.
The Wooltex Jacket and Pant are available in Realtree Excape and Mossy Oak Terra Outland and come in sizes small through 3XL.
Price – $159 (jacket) / $159 (pant)
