Best Women's Hunting Clothing

[hoshour]

My wife is going antelope hunting with me in late October in Wyoming this year. It is her first time to go so she has no hunting clothing yet other than good hiking boots.

I've already gotten her a hat, gloves, merino neck gaiter and base layer, so I'm looking for help on mid and outer layer women's clothing for mid-season (20-60 degrees). She would be open to either solids or camo. She gets cold pretty easily, though we will be doing our share of walking.

Not finding much out there that is cut for women. We usually buy in the higher 1/3 of the quality scale.

I had looked at them, and so far, Prois seems to be the closest to what she is looking for.

My fiancé like the cabela's brand outfitHER line of clothing. They have there western camo in most of it. not sure what there mid-weight stuff is like . We go hunting in late august so all hers is light weight.

I worry about the Kings Camo prices being so low - not that I'm against low prices, just the opposite. It just makes me wonder about the quality and durability.

I know what you mean, I was a die hard kings camo fan until todd turned me on to kuiu. my 5 year old kings camo pants outlasted my one year old kryptec pants. kryptec turned me off of high end pants. kuiu turned me back on to them in a big way.

+1 for the Cabelas outfither series. My wife really liked them for the antelope hunt we did last year.

My wife likes UA, yukongear & Riverswest.

Prois is what my girlfriend likes to hunt with. Has couple articles of SHE outdoor clothing also..

Take a look at the First Light line.

Same story here......minus trying the Kryptec.....we are in camp with Kings(women) and Kuiu pants.

Prois is designed by women who hunt the West. Probably your current best bet.

I've had UA gear and have been slowly converting over to Kuiu, the full on women's fit doesn't really bother me. But for boots I've been really happy with the women's kenetrek mountain extremes

That's what my wife went with. Looks like good quality. We'll see when it gets here. They also sell seconds at a big discount, which is pretty nice.

Didn't see women's lines at the clothing names you would think of other than maybe just a couple items. Kings Camo and Prois had the most.

My wife used to use several pieces of Prois. She is tall and had trouble with fit. She also had a few quality issues but the good thing was Prois was very good about taking responsibility for those. We are still on the lookout for high quality women's hunting clothing. She is currently using Arcteryx Gamma Light Pants, but I'm not terribly happy with how noisy they are when walking (swishing sound).

Finding pants that block the wind and still breathe well and are quiet is the thing. Love my Sitka and First Lite pants, but for women, the choices are much fewer, plus they have to be cut right. There appears to be an opening here for some company.

This article talks about fitting SitkaGear to women. http://blog.1800gear.com/sizing-sitka-gear-for-women/ It might be helpful. A call to Sitka might help too. I'm sure they've had many questions along this line.

I second the First lite women's line. My girlfriend is converting all her base layers and pants over to First Lite and really seems to be loving it. She just purchased the Alturas a few weeks ago. For her it seems the only thing she is worried about being a women's cut is her base layers and pants, outer layers she is ok with men's gear.
