If you are not familiar with Seirus outdoor clothing, you are missing the boat. Don’t feel bad, I am rather new to them myself. Seirus has been making top quality gear for 40 years, but I only discovered them in the last ten. As we approach the 2025 SHOT Show, I thought it appropriate to highlight one of my favorite companies that I discovered at SHOT so many years ago.
Seirus is largely known for their amazing gloves and headwear, however, they now have an excellent line of base layer clothing as well as some pretty cool niche items. I started using their gloves when I first met the company, and they have been my go-to gloves ever since. Seirus gloves are the thinnest, lightest and warmest waterproof glove I have ever used. They were also one of the first companies to make gloves that work with touch screen devices using their Soundtouch technology. This is a huge benefit for hunters who want to use their phone while trying to stay warm! My favorite all around pair of gloves are the Soundtouch Hyperlite All Weather. I use the camo version for most of my hunting adventures and keep a pair of black ones in each vehicle for whenever the need arises.
This past elk season, I was in Wyoming hunting cows in cold weather. I tried out their new Heatwave Performance Base Layers and was not disappointed! These things are super comfortable, thin and lightweight but kept me toasty warm. The unique difference I found compared to other base layers I own, is they seemed to always keep me at the right temperature. In the early morning it was very cold, yet I stayed warm. As the day warmed with a bright sun and clear skies, my body did not overheat and I stayed comfortable. I’ve had many a hunting trip that found me stripping down to my skivvies to get out of my base layers so I could cool off. This was not necessary while wearing the Heatwave layers.
I also wore their Magnemask Combo Clava head gear in Realtree Extra. This is made with a combination fabric of neoprene and fleece making it super warm and comfortable. The unique contoured facemask easily pulls off to hang down and out of the way, but instantly pops back into place thanks to the strong magnetic seams. The gloves I wore were the Xtreme All Weather Gauntlet glove. These gloves are designed for colder weather but are form fitting so they don’t feel bulky. They are 100% waterproof and windproof but still breathable. My hands never felt cold but also never sweated, a big deal if you take your gloves off then try to put them back on! Both the Magnemask and Xtreme gloves were game changers for hunting in cold weather.
Seirus gear is not just for cold weather. They make numerous products aimed at sun protection for use during hot weather. They even collaborate with known artists to create some pretty cool and unique designs. Check out their stuff and give them a try. You won’t regret it.
