Q: what kind of clothing should we pack for winter hunting in june-august like base layers and outer shells
AWS EXPERT REPLY
For winter hunting in Argentina, typically from June to August, you'll want to be prepared for crisp mornings and evenings, with comfortable daytime temperatures that can still feel cool, especially if there's a breeze. Our prime hunting grounds near Buenos Aires offer a fantastic experience, and being well-dressed ensures you can fully enjoy every moment.
Here's a breakdown of what we recommend packing:
• Base Layers (Next to Skin): These are crucial for warmth and moisture management. Opt for high-quality, moisture-wicking materials like merino wool or synthetic thermals. They pull sweat away from your body, keeping you dry and warm. Pack both lightweight and mid-weight options.
• Mid-Layers (Insulation): This layer provides warmth. Fleece jackets, vests, or even a lightweight down jacket work perfectly. They trap air to insulate you and can be easily added or removed as temperatures change throughout the day.
• Outer Shell (Protection): A waterproof and windproof jacket is essential. It will protect you from any unexpected rain or the penetrating wind, especially during early morning hunts or while traveling between blinds in our comfortable Unimogs or Jeeps. Look for something durable and breathable. Waterproof hunting pants are also highly recommended. While camouflage isn't strictly necessary for dove hunting, muted earth tones are always a good choice.
• Headwear: A warm beanie or wool hat is vital for retaining body heat, especially during cooler parts of the day. A neck gaiter or balaclava can also be very useful for added protection against wind.
• Gloves: Waterproof and insulated gloves will keep your hands warm and dry, allowing for comfortable shooting.
• Socks: Multiple pairs of good quality wool or synthetic blend socks are a must. They provide cushioning, warmth, and wick away moisture. Consider packing a thicker pair for colder days and a thinner pair for layering.
• Footwear: Waterproof, comfortable, and insulated hunting boots are paramount. You'll be spending time in varied terrain, and dry, warm feet make all the difference.
Evenings at AWS Lodge are designed for comfort after a day in the field, with gourmet meals and an open bar to warm you up. While you'll be focused on the hunt during the day, our luxury lodging provides the perfect retreat to relax and recharge.
