Q: whats best clothing for winter hunting in june-august, layering system recs
AWS EXPERT REPLY
That's an excellent question! Preparing with the right clothing is key for a comfortable and enjoyable winter hunting experience with AWS Lodge in Argentina, typically from June to August. Our professional guides ensure you have the best field experience, and dressing appropriately for the variable weather is a big part of that.
Here’s a recommended layering system for winter hunting:
1. Base Layer (Moisture-Wicking): This is your foundation. Choose synthetic materials or Merino wool. These fabrics are crucial for wicking sweat away from your skin, keeping you dry and warm. Avoid cotton, as it retains moisture and will make you feel cold.
2. Mid Layer (Insulation): This layer provides warmth. Fleece jackets (100-200 weight) or a lightweight down/synthetic puffy jacket are ideal. You might want to have a couple of options to adjust to different temperatures throughout the day.
3. Outer Layer (Protection): This is your shield against the elements. Look for a waterproof, windproof, and breathable shell jacket. It should be durable enough to withstand brush and provide protection from potential rain or strong winds, especially during early morning hunts.
Bottoms:
• Base Layer: Again, moisture-wicking synthetic or Merino wool long underwear.
• Outer Layer: Durable, insulated, and water-resistant hunting pants. Some hunters prefer an additional mid-layer pant if it's exceptionally cold.
Essential Accessories:
• Headwear: A warm beanie or a balaclava is crucial, as a significant amount of body heat can be lost through your head.
• Gloves: A good pair of insulated, waterproof, and dexterous gloves or mittens will keep your hands warm and allow for comfortable shooting.
• Socks: High-quality wool or synthetic blend socks are a must. Bring several pairs and change them if they get damp.
• Footwear: Insulated, waterproof hunting boots are essential to keep your feet dry and warm in potentially muddy or wet conditions.
Our winter mornings can be quite chilly, often near freezing, but temperatures usually rise comfortably during the day. Having a versatile layering system allows you to adapt to these changes, shedding layers as it warms up and adding them back as the evening chill sets in.
