Not all of the best hunting trips are in nice, warm-weather climates. Whether you're glassing on top of a snow-capped mountain, waiting for waterfowl in a frigid blind, or bowhunting whitetails from a treestand, these will keep you warm.

We rounded up coveralls, jackets, gloves, and more to keep you warm and cozy. These hunting apparel picks are made with top-quality materials that deliver the best insulation. They also target areas where warmth may escape (chest, head, shoulders, etc.). A major perk is that some options feature scent control.
