Whether you’re building a new kit from the ground up, or you’re fine-tuning the system you have, it’s helpful to get layering ideas from other hunters. We selected five hunters with varying body types and asked about their recent hunts, the conditions they faced, and what they wore.

Deciding what you’re going to wear for fall-weather hunts takes serious consideration. Regardless of the location, it can be clear skies and sunshine one moment and snow the next. You must always prepare for the worst possible conditions.

In addition, hunting brings a wide range of activity levels. Even if it’s freezing cold out, a hike to the top with a spiked heart rate may have you down to a base-layer top to keep comfortable. Yet in the same conditions, while stationary and glassing, layered up with an insulated jacket and pant system is required.

By leveraging the KUIU skin-to-shell layering system, you can layer up or down and easily adapt to any condition and activity level.
