It is one of the most exciting times of the year for hunters - the driven hunt season. Drivers, hunting assistants, and dogs all work towards that one moment, the moment when a piece of game approaches the waiting shooter at their stand, allowing for a clean shot and the game to be ethically taken down.
Particular attention is also paid to equipment and clothing during the driven hunt season. Especially the latter must meet high standards. Driven hunts take place in autumn and winter, thus in the wet and cold season. Above all, the right jacket or vest for a driven hunt must do one thing: keep the hunter warm. Therefore, every hunter should ask themselves the relevant questions before purchasing their driven hunt gear:
Which jacket or vest is best suited for a driven hunt? How much does such outerwear cost? Which fabric is suitable for a driven hunt? What color should the outerwear for a driven hunt be?
Questions upon questions arise for the hunter, and especially novice hunters regularly search online for tips to find the perfect driven hunt equipment.
Regarding the last of the above questions, concerning the color of the suitable jacket or vest for the social hunt, there are simple answers: The jacket should have a signal color that is noticeable to the human eye but not particularly perceivable to the animal eye. In most cases, the hunter, especially the shooter, chooses a bright orange or a signal red. These colors meet both of the aforementioned criteria.
It is always important that the chosen outerwear, whether vest or jacket, fulfills the corresponding function that the wearer needs. The outerwear for shooters must primarily keep them warm and also contribute to the safety of the shooter through its signal color.
The outerwear of dog handlers, on the other hand, should fulfill additional functions. It should not only keep warm and provide protection through its signal effect, but must also have appropriate cut and weather protection, as well as several pockets where the dog handler can store the most important utensils, and possibly also carabiners to secure the leash or to carry the tracking strap.
