Best 12 Waterproof Hunting Pants for Men

This is the closest thing to a real hunting pant in the lineup, and the price drop puts it in spitting distance of the FROGG TOGGS rain pants while offering a whole lot more. Mossy Oak Terra Gila print with a windproof shell. ScentLok’s carbon odor control is built in too, which matters if you’re hunting pressured public land. The XX-Large size is the one on deep discount, so check your waist measurement honestly before clicking.

If you want rain coverage but hate slipping pants on over boots in the dark, the Pro Advantage bib solves that problem. Suspenders keep the waist from sagging when you’re hauling a pack, and the breathable fabric handles spring turkey mornings without turning into a sauna. Medium only at this price, in black.

The Pro Action pant is the FROGG TOGGS staple, and it shows up in nearly every truck box and tackle bag I’ve seen around Pocahontas County. It is not insulated and it is not heavyweight, which is the point. Throw it over jeans when the weather turns, pack it away when it doesn’t.

Same pattern, cut for women in Small. My sister picked one up last year and wore it under chest waders for trout opener with no issues. The fit through the hips is more forgiving than the men’s pant, which matters more than the marketing copy lets on.

The Pro Action jacket is the top half of the suit most people already own the bottom half of. Black, with a hood and a simple zipper. Bring it kayaking. Bring it to a cold rainy WVU game in Morgantown. It packs down to nothing and weighs about a pound.

Bootfoot chest waders with felt soles, sized 12. The Amphib is the FROGG TOGGS wader I trust for trout streams because neoprene handles cold water without the rubber-bag sweatiness. Felt soles grip slick river rocks better than lug rubber on the Elk and Cranberry, and that is worth the small extra cost over a stockingfoot setup.

The Strata Trail Mid is a meat-and-potatoes Columbia boot at a strong price. Size 7.5 is the one on sale, which runs small for a men’s boot, so check the listing carefully before you commit. Solid for day hikes at Coopers Rock and the kind of scouting walks where rain pants are overkill but waterproof boots are mandatory.

The women’s Crestwood Mid in size 7.5 hit a similar discount. It runs slightly narrow through the forefoot, so if you have wide feet, size up a half. My wife logged a wet-leaf October weekend at Babcock in hers without a hot spot.

Camo neoprene muck boot, 6mm wall, size 12. The TerraTrax is not a brand I had seen before this spring, but the construction looks similar to bigger names at roughly half the price. For setting trail cameras and walking food plots, that is plenty of boot.

Blaze orange with sherpa lined ear flaps and a waterproof shell, which is the right hat for the November stretch when temperatures drop hard at first light. The Breathffy hat is not heirloom quality, but at this price it is hard to argue with as a backup or a spare for the truck.

Rechargeable headlamp two pack with motion sensor on/off, which sounds gimmicky until you have tried to turn on a headlamp with cold fingers and a rifle in the other hand. Wave at the front of the lamp and it switches modes. Five lighting modes and waterproof enough for the kind of misty mornings the mountains specialize in.

12×42 binoculars are honest territory for bird watching and ridge scouting, and POCZE is selling them at a price that makes the old “is this too cheap” question reasonable. Optical quality is fine for daylight glassing, not great in low light. If you mostly use binos to check whether that deer on the next ridge is a buck, these will do that job without complaint.
