Nanofibre electrospun membrane
The world's most air-permeable waterproof nano porous membrane is the most efficient at transporting body moisture outside the jacket in any condition. This dramatically improves thermoregulation and inner climate comfort and helps all insulation layers work at maximum performance. Dryhunt is a hydrophobic nano-membrane that simultaneously outperforms any membrane technology in the world regarding breathability and stretchiness, which are essential for thermoregulation and comfort. This electrospun nanomembrane technology is made and applied to the fabric with the highest precision in South Korea.
Closed nano cell insulation
With a thermal conductivity of 0.0087 W/mK, Matrix® outperforms Aerogel (0.013 W/mK) and comes closest to a vacuum (0.006 W/mK) in terms of weight-to-thermal efficiency. This makes it the lightest insulation featuring closed-cell nanotechnology. Measuring just 0.035 inches / 0.9 mm thick and weighing 1.47 oz/yd² / 50g/m2, this breathable, antibacterial, and stretchable material is not only the most innovative insulation on Earth but is also Zero° Technology, eco-friendly, having passed the EU REACH SVHC sustainability test.
Heat-flux Synchronization Lining
Harness the power of pure graphene with thousands of tracks woven into our lining, greatly enhancing its thermal conductivity. This state-of-the-art design redistributes your body heat evenly, preventing cold spots and maintaining consistent warmth. Thanks to this innovative approach to thermal insulation, enjoy superior comfort and stay cosy in any environment. Additionally, our superfine lining is the only one today with stretch properties that do not compromise comfort, perfectly supporting Hillman’s philosophy of unrestricted movement and optimal performance.
Multi-level thermoregulation system
When outside temperatures are low, and you move actively, your body generates excess moisture. Without proper moisture management, this moisture can cause you to freeze when you stop moving, as it cools your body rapidly. Thermovent® technology manages moisture in three ways: through the Dryhunt membrane, the world's most moisture-permeable membrane; the Aerospacer3D mesh - which prevents moisture buildup where a backpack or other gear compresses the membrane; and underarm pit zips that allow for self-regulated climate control. Together, these technologies create the world's most advanced and efficient thermoregulation system for temperatures from 20°C to -25°C (68°F to -15°F), suitable for Mild, Cool, Cold, and even Very Cold and Extreme cold weather conditions with additional layers.
Quick access and carrying system
TheCluster® system delivers unmatched speed and efficiency for accessing essential gear like radios, GPS devices, and ammunition, conveniently located on the chest for easy reach. Its innovative design allows for quick reloading and access to electronics without bulky pockets, reducing overall weight. Compatible with most calibres of ammunition and any device with a clip, it supports knives, torches, or items up to 1.1 lb (0.5 kg). With no comparable system in terms of efficiency and design, Cluster® provides fast access without sacrificing mobility or adding bulk, making it the ultimate solution for hunters on the move.

Waterproof | SubZero Insulated

These shooting trousers represent a breakthrough in hunting clothing. The 6OL Insulated collection has changed what we thought possible with waterproof and insulated shooting trousers. Serious shooters and stalking enthusiasts have been waiting for gear that actually delivers, and these men's shooting trousers do exactly that. We've built them for hunters who simply won't settle. The blend of cutting-edge technology with carefully considered design detail isn't just marketing talk.
When you're sitting still during winter or pushing through rugged terrain, you'll understand why this outdoor trousers engineering stands apart. Available in ranger green and photocamouflage to match your preferred styles, these trousers are equipped with six breakthrough technologies that keep you warm and will transform how you explore the great outdoors.
The 6OL hunting trousers represent more than just another addition to hunting trousers. This is where science meets the demands of real-world shooting and stalking. At the heart of these waterproof trousers sits the Dryhunt nanomembrane, the world's most air-permeable waterproof membrane. Whilst other brands use solid hydrophilic membranes that trap moisture inside, Dryhunt's electrospun nanofibre structure allows 90 cubic feet of air per square foot to pass through every 24 hours.
Matrix insulation takes lightweight protection to another level. With thermal conductivity sitting at just 0.0087 W/mK, this closed-cell nanotechnology actually beats aerogel without adding weight. At 0.9mm thick, these shooting trousers give you serious warmth without turning you into the Michelin Man. You'll stay warm from 20°C right down to -25°C.

The Termovent 6+ Level system manages temperature regulation through six integrated technologies. Peak-point vents at the highest evaporation point on the waist, combined with ventilation zips, let you control your inner climate. The graphene heat-flux synchronisation lining redistributes body heat evenly. Merino fleece zonal insulation on the back wicks moisture effectively, whilst the detachable back plate accepts the optional Heatmax7 heating system for Arctic conditions.
The Cluster quick-access system revolutionises gear management. Positioned on the hips for effortless reach, it's compatible with most ammunition calibres and devices with clips, supporting items up to 0.5kg. This eliminates fumbling through multiple pockets whilst reducing bulk.
ERGO Unified Anatomical Pattern Technology employs precision pattern-making that delivers an optimised fit. This advanced design ensures superior freedom of movement and eliminates sizing compromises, accommodating every body type.

The 4-Level Waterproof Shielding system ensures you stay completely dry. Level one features a remarkable Dryhunt nanomembrane with its 11,000mm hydrostatic head rating. Level two adds eco-friendly C0 DWR treatment that's fluorine-free yet highly effective. Level three seals every stitch with breathable seam tape. Level four deploys premium YKK AquaGuard zips throughout. These waterproof trousers don't just keep rain and wind out; they're designed to withstand the wettest British season conditions whilst maintaining breathability that actually works.

Durasuede fabric solves a problem that's plagued hunting clothing for decades. Traditional breathable fabrics forced you to choose between durable woven material or a silent fleece-like construction. This innovative brushed woven shell mimics deer suede, offering exceptional stealth without sacrificing durability. It'll resist wear from thorns and rough terrain whilst keeping you virtually silent during stalking game.

The Varilock stepless front closure adjusts up or down one full size. This moulded polymer system handles 100kg of force. The high waist yoke provides excellent coverage when you're leaning forward or crouching during stalking.
Reinforced knees feature removable ergonomic EVA protectors. The articulated knees and one-piece anatomical cuffs deliver a full range of movement. The 2-way stretch textile technology means these trousers move with you.
Wide zipped cuffs accommodate boots easily, including substantial hunting boots. Ankle adjustments ensure a perfect seal. Laser-cut Hypalon flat belt loops add durability, whilst a hidden belt loop on the back keeps everything secure.

The Cluster quick-access system positions ammunition and essential equipment on your hips for effortless reach. Compatible with most calibres and any device with a clip, it supports items up to 0.5kg. No more fumbling through multiple pockets. Open hand pockets provide familiar jeans-style comfort. Inclined cargo pockets and back pockets keep gear organised and protected. There's an integrated knife compartment with a case holder, plus Hypalon accessory holders.
The inclined angle means you can access contents whilst wearing a backpack or whilst seated. These practical features make the difference during long days afield.

Durability matters when investing in quality outdoor trousers. These shooting trousers feature welded and armed zips that handle thousands of cycles. The suede fabric resists most thorns. Reinforced anti-slip knees ensure purchase on wet surfaces and muddy terrain. Every detail reflects our commitment to creating clothing that serves you season after season.
The ERGO Unified Anatomical Pattern Technology delivers an optimised fit for men. We stock a proper range of sizes, including XL (52 EU size) and XXL (54 EU size), so you can actually find the right hunting trousers that fit properly rather than making do. Pick between Ranger Green or Photocamouflage colours, both of which disappear into your hunting environment the way they should.
You're probably asking yourself the same questions every hunter does:
Traditional materials like moleskin and tweed offer heritage appeal but can't match modern technology. These trousers blend silent movement with genuine waterproof protection, breathable performance, and weight savings that transform your comfort during extended periods afield.
The 6OL Matrix represents our most advanced hunting clothing. Whilst other styles in our collection serve specific purposes, these shooting trousers deliver unmatched versatility.

Dryhunt® is a groundbreaking hydrophobic nanofibre membrane that redefines what's possible in hunting gear. Thanks to its unique technology and structure, it outperforms not only the non-porous hydrophilic membranes but also any membrane with nanoporous structure.
Developed with precision in South Korea, Dryhunt® is crafted with an unparalleled focus on performance. Its cutting-edge nanofibre technology supports insulation layers to operate at peak efficiency, keeping you dry, comfortable, and focused on your hunt. This is not just a membrane—it's the pinnacle of waterproof and breathable innovation, offering an advantage no other product can match.
Technology: Electrospun nanofibre web
Waterproof / Hydrostatic Head: 11,000 mm
Breathability / MVTR: 32,000 g/m²/24 h
Air Permeability: True air flow
As seen in this electron microscope image, Dryhunt’s nanofibre structure allows moisture to escape freely through its nanosized pores. Meanwhile, the pores are smaller than water droplets, effectively blocking water from the outside.
Thanks to this cutting-edge nanotechnology, you will stay dry, warm, and free from the frustrations caused by 99.9% of conventional membranes.
99.9% of membranes out there are solid hydrophilic membranes that don’t offer direct breathability. Moisture escapes through these membranes via a condensation-like process, which is highly inefficient and fails to effectively release excess moisture. As a result, you’re left with damp or even wet, freezing sensation most of the time.
How Waterproofing Works?
The water droplet is 20 times larger than the nano gaps of Dryhunt® membrane, which completely blocks water from getting through.
How breathability works?
As you move, your sweat is vaporized and efficiently transported through the Dryhunt pores to the outside with unmatched efficiency.
Dryhunt® is created by spreading nanofibres through electrospinning, which creates a fibrous layer that lets air move freely through it while blocking water penetration.
Completely PFAS-free and eco-friendly, Dryhunt® sets the gold standard in performance, reliability, and sustainability.

The gaps between nanofibres are 20 times smaller than the water drop which makes the membrane fully waterproof. At the same time allows an incredible 90 cubic feet of air/moisture per square foot to pass through every 24 hours—equivalent to the air volume of a spacious living room.



When outside temperatures are low and you are moving actively, your body generates excess heat and moisture. Without proper moisture management and thermoregulation, you can overheat while moving or freeze when you stop, as moisture buildup cools your body rapidly.
Termovent® technology manages moisture and thermoregulation through six advanced technologies. Together, they create the world’s most advanced and efficient thermoregulation system, suitable for temperatures ranging from 20°C to -25°C (68°F to -13°F).
Designed for Mild, Cool and Cold weather conditions, this system delivers unparalleled comfort and performance with the option to add layers for Very Cold and Extreme Cold environments.

Matrix® sets a new standard for insulation. Its closed-cell structure is 10 times lighter, 80% less bulky, and 2000% more efficient than traditional materials. At just 0.13 oz./ft² (40 g/m²), and only 1.9 oz (54 g) per jacket, it delivers near-vacuum thermal conductivity, providing reliable warmth down to -20°C (23°F) without causing overheating in milder conditions. Engineered for extreme cold and warmer climates alike, Matrix® is the world’s lightest, most effective thermoregulating insulation.

TheCluster®system delivers unmatched speed and efficiency for accessing essential gear like radios, GPS devices, and ammunition, conveniently located on the hips for easy reach. Its innovative design allows for quick reloading and access to electronics without bulky pockets, reducing overall weight. Compatible with most calibres of ammunition and any device with a clip, it supports knives, torches, or items up to 1.1 lb / 0.5 kg. With no comparable system in terms of efficiency and design, Cluster® provides fast access without sacrificing mobility or adding bulk, making it the ultimate solution for hunters on the move.

Designed to overcome the challenge of creating a waterproof shell that balances durability and quietness. Durability demands a high-density woven structure, similar to canvas, while noise reduction benefits from a softer, low-density design like fleece. To achieve this balance, the fabric features a brushed woven surface that mimics deer suede leather, providing a premium feel while significantly reducing noise during movement. This innovative shell is almost noiseless, excelling in thorny underbrush and tough terrains while offering durability, protection, and long-lasting performance in the toughest conditions.

Any coated or membrane-bonded fabric generates some level of noise. Knitted fleece-like fabrics are the quietest but the least durable, while woven Cordura-like fabrics are the strongest but also the noisiest.
Hillman's Durasuede is a breakthrough fabric that combines unmatched durability from its woven construction, exceptional noise reduction from its brushed acoustic surface, and superior comfort thanks to its stretch design. Backed by 20 years of textile expertise, we are proud to present the first ultimate hunting fabric, offering an unprecedented balance of durability, noise reduction, and comfort-all in one.
