Hunting in Wet Weather: Staying Dry with DSG Outerwear

DSG Outerwear’s waterproof and breathable women’s hunting apparel is designed to help you face wet weather head-on, so you can make the most of your time in the field without sacrificing comfort. 

Hunting in wet weather can add to the challenge of hunting. Therefore, staying dry is essential for both comfort and success. Rain, dampness, and chilly winds are common in the fall and spring, and without proper gear, these conditions can quickly take a toll. DSG Outerwear offers a line of women’s hunting apparel specifically designed to keep you dry and comfortable, even in the wettest environments. Let’s dive into some strategies for making the most of your hunting trips, rain or shine:

Layering for Optimal Protection

One of the key strategies for staying dry in wet conditions is layering correctly. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer to draw sweat away from your skin, keeping you dry from the inside out. DSG Outerwear’s Merino wool base layer shirt and pants offer excellent moisture management, ensuring you stay comfortable even during high-intensity activity.

Next, add a mid-layer for insulation, such as DSG Outerwear’s performance fleece. Finally, top it off with a waterproof outer layer, like DSG Outerwear’s Nova rain jacket and pants. These two pieces are a lightweight technical rain set with a 10,000mm MVT/10,000g/m/24hrs waterproof/breathable membrane and additional DWR treatment on the face of the fabric to help water repel. Altogether, this combination of layers provides full protection against rain, while still allowing excess heat and moisture to escape, so you don’t feel clammy.

Prioritize Waterproof Features

When the weather is wet, it’s essential to choose gear that’s waterproof. DSG Outerwear shells are treated with durable water repellent (DWR) and have taped seams to ensure rain doesn’t seep in. The Kylie 5.0 hunting jacket and bibs are a great example of this, offering versatility and dependable rain protection. Also, look for garments with adjustable hoods and wrist cuffs for added defense against water.

Keep Breathability in Mind

While waterproofing is crucial, so is breathability. If your gear doesn’t allow moisture and sweat to escape, you risk overheating and becoming wet from the inside. DSG Outerwear’s fabrics are designed to balance waterproofing with breathability, ensuring that you stay dry and comfortable during extended hunts. For example, the reversible puffer jacket is made with durable nano Ripstop fabric that has been treated with DWR. The result is a breathable shell that lets moisture escape while keeping rain out.

Don’t Forget About Your Feet

Wet feet can ruin a hunting trip. To avoid this, wear waterproof boots, like DSG Outerwear’s rubber boot 2.0. Pair with heavy- or mid-weight Merino wool socks.

Carry Essential Gear for Wet Weather

In addition to wearing waterproof apparel, carrying the right gear can make a big difference. A rain fly for your backpack ensures your gear stays dry, while the proper headwear and gloves can help keep extremities warm and dry. DSG Outerwear’s flip top mittens, cold weather neckwarmer,  and ponytail beanie are just a few of its waterproof accessories. Also, if you have the space, pack an extra pair of gloves or socks to stay comfortable if the weather takes a turn for the worse.

Adapt to Changing Conditions

As the seasons change, weather conditions can change quickly. DSG Outerwear’s versatile gear allows you to adapt to different weather patterns seamlessly. Jackets like the Kylie 5.0 feature removable liners, so you can easily switch from rain protection to extra warmth if the temperature drops after the rain subsides.

Stay Dry, Stay Focused

Hunting in the rain doesn’t have to be uncomfortable. With the right strategy and gear, you can stay dry, warm, and focused on the hunt. DSG Outerwear’s waterproof and breathable women’s hunting apparel is designed to help you face wet weather head-on, so you can make the most of your time in the field without sacrificing comfort. Whether you’re stalking game or waiting in a blind, DSG Outerwear ensures you’re ready for any challenge the elements may throw your way.
