Tips for Dressing

  • Layer your clothing, the colder the weather the heavier the layers.
  • We suggest leather boots with insulation qualities rather than pack boots for cold-weather hunting.
  • If extra socks are to be used, the fit of the boot must remain slightly loose or the insulation value of the socks will be hampered.
