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 changes its position to the waiting shooter, 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. And since resilient game is often driven, shot at, and tracked, it is particularly important regarding trousers for drivers and tracking leaders that they offer a certain level of protection.
Such trousers, especially those reinforced with Kevlar, are referred to as so-called boar protection trousers. Other common names include impact protection trousers, cut protection trousers, dog handler trousers, or tracking trousers.
As these trousers are primarily used in driven hunts or during tracking, it is equally important that they not only protect the body through their material but also draw attention to the wearer through their color. Thus, boar or impact protection trousers are often available in signal colors. This way, the hunter is not only protected against the attack of a boar's tusk but also moves more safely in the terrain with respect to other shooters.
Below, we want to introduce you to some of the most popular models:
