Stocking Stuffers for Hunters

Zero Cold Weather OTC Sock

Cold feet are the worst. That’s why we designed theFirst Lite Zero Cold Weather OTC Sockwith a high-lofted merino knit for maximum warmth and protection from the elements. Reinforcements in the toe and heel add durability and compression through the ankle and arch lock in fit to create a sock that can stand up to the harshest of late-season conditions.

Synergy Series Organizer Bags

An organized pack is the sign of an organized mind, andFHF Gear's Synergy Series Organizer Bagslets you have both. Available in four different sizes and two different colors, these bags keep your gear where it needs to be so you’re not fumbling for your headlamp in the dark. Plus, the durable 500D Cordura material and #8 YKK coil zippers mean these bags will hold together season after season.

Rangefinder Pouch 2.0

FHF Gear's new-and-improved rangefinder pouch features a padded and structured build, a MOLLE attachment system, and a fixed closure. What does this mean in the field? You can attach your rangefinder to virtually anything, and the pouch won’t fold or bend. Your rangefinder is secure until you need it, and accessing it is always convenient and silent.

Harness Shoulder Pad

Even the best bino harness or chest rig can become uncomfortable after a long day in the field. That’s why FHF Gear offers a Harness Shoulder Pad that fits any FHF Gear harness system. The Shoulder Pad offers additional padding to keep your harness from chafing, but it also contains the strap ends of the harness and keeps the webbing from bunching or twisting under your pack. Plus, we’ve found that it also increases airflow and helps keep you dry on those early-season hunts.

That’s why they need gear that will keep them both warm and dry, and that’s exactly what you’re getting with theRefuge Bib.

Chest Rig

Let’s be honest: FHF Gear’s Chest Rig is a phenomenal addition to any hunter’s kit. You might even wear it around the house for easy access to snacks and the TV remote. But when you’re bundled up in a layout blind and don’t want to fiddle around with your pants pockets, it’s best to have all your gear securely fastened to your chest. That’s exactly what you’re getting with the Chest Rig paired with theWaterfowl insert kit. The kit is tailor-made for waterfowl hunting and features sleeves for calls, shells, and pretty much anything else a waterfowl hunter needs.
