Duck hunting clothing has one job the deer woods don't ask for: it has to work under, over and around waders, in wind off open water, for hours of sitting still. Everything on this page is cut for that, from Sportsman Gear, a camo maker built around Mossy Oak Bottomland and its own Delta Olive.
Where it sits on price: jackets run $169 to $275, bibs $259, wader pants $119 to $139 and base layers $54 to $59. For comparison, flagship waterfowl jackets from the premium brands start around $385, so this is mid-priced duck camo built on the same ideas: GoldPro insulation, bonded fleece, DWR shells and built-in face masks.
Which camo pattern should I pick?
Mossy Oak Bottomland is dark trunks, limbs and mud tones, the classic pick for flooded timber, river bottoms and brushy blinds. Delta Olive is a softer olive tone that sits better against marsh grass. If you're not sure, Bottomland is the safer all-around choice. More in our Bottomland vs Treestand guide.
What should I wear under waders?
No cotton. Start with a wicking base layer, add a wader pant whose cuffs or stirrups stay put in the boot, then a hoodie with a face mask, and put the insulated jacket on once you're set up. The full system is in what to wear under waders for duck hunting.
Is this gear waterproof?
The shells are water-resistant with DWR finishes, which shed spray and light rain. Your waders and a rain shell are the waterproof layers. On a true rain day, wear a shell over the jacket.
What's a good duck hunting gift?
A fleece or sherpa gaiter ($29 to $39.99) or a base layer set (about $108) gets worn every trip and doesn't need an exact fit. See camo gifts by budget. For waders, calls and decoys, see Waterfowl & Duck Hunting and waders.
