Hunt Monkey: Best Gloves and Gear for Extreme Cold Hunting

When winter fully settles in and the woods turn cold and unforgiving, maximum protection is the priority. This is especially true at the higher elevations of the mountainous west but hunters in the east and south can also face brutal cold in pursuit of their quarry. That’s when you need the best cold-weather systems in the game for your head, hands and feet: Hunt Monkey.

Start with your hands. Any hunter knows that having frozen fingers isn’t just uncomfortable but also dangerous. The Heater Hunting Glove is built for those brutal late-season deer hunts, delivering unmatched insulation, wind protection and stealth. Engineered for long sits in the stand, it features a 220-gram Polar Fleece exterior, Sherpa Fleece lining, and 100 grams of Thinsulate insulation for maximum thermal retention without bulk. The flip-top mitten design with magnetic stays allows quick, silent access to your fingers, while built-in glove fingers and a fixed thumb offer dexterity for gear and firearm control. It’s available in Mossy Oak Original Bottomland and Terra Gila camouflage to hide hand motion in the field. This is the ultimate glove for cold-weather concealment and performance.

The Yeti Hunt Heavyweight Sherpa Mitten is another go-to choice for those subzero conditions. This is Hunt Monkey’s most insulated, technologically advanced mitten. From frozen Midwest treestands to high-altitude elk terrain, it delivers unmatched warmth, stealth, and control. With a flip-top design, built-in glove fingers, and premium materials including a whopping 350 grams of Thinsulate and a 100 percent windproof, waterproof Dry-Tec outer shell, it’s the glove serious hunters trust when failure isn’t an option.

For your head, the Conceal Heavyweight Sherpa Balaclava and Conceal Heavyweight Sherpa Face Guard deliver full-coverage insulation from the nose down to the neck, trapping body heat while remaining breathable enough to prevent fogging and condensation around your face. The fleece remains silent when you move while three camo patterns including Mossy Oak Original Bottomland and Terra Gila let you blend into the environment. And for those who prefer a beanie, the Conceal Heavyweight Sherpa Beanie is packed with 220 grams of fleece and a Wind Stopper shell to greatly reduce heat loss through your head.

And don’t forget your feet. Cold weather often strikes here first—reducing moisture produced from perspiration or damp conditions is one key to staying warmer longer. The Yeti Series Heavyweight OTC and Boot Cut Socks are engineered to conquer brutal conditions, delivering heavyweight warmth and fatigue-fighting compression that keeps you focused on the hunt. The thick merino blend pile traps warm air next to your feet while also wicking away moisture, insulating your body in temperatures as low as 30 below for all-day comfort even in heavy boots. The arch and ankle compression help enhance circulation while the seamless toe eliminates chafing and irritation. And they’re made with pride in the US by one of the oldest sock mills in the country.

Together, this system of extreme cold weather late-season options allow you to hunt longer while staying focused and safe when temperatures drop below freezing. Be ready for the weather with Hunt Monkey. Interested in becoming a Hunt Monkey dealer? Click here for more information!
