Coyote Hunting Clothing Engineered for the Chase
Coyote and predator hunting demands stealth, adaptability, and endurance—and your gear should be built for the same. At SITKA, we’ve designed every piece of our coyote hunting clothes to meet the specific needs of hunters pursuing intelligent and elusive quarry across unforgiving terrain. From windproof outer layers to breathable base systems and rugged hunting backpacks, our performance hunting gear is built to move with you, keep you warm, and stay silent in the moments that count.
Unmatched Mobility and Stealth
Each piece in this collection—from midweight merino wool hunting base layers to storm-ready shells—is streamlined for active hunts that go from dusk to dawn. Advanced materials offer weather protection without bulk, while silent finishes reduce noise so you can stalk closer. Whether you're posted up calling predators or trekking long miles across open country, our predator hunting clothing delivers the durability and agility you need without compromise.
Rugged Footwear for Varied Terrain
Your feet are your foundation. That’s why our hunting boots combine waterproof breathability, traction-maximizing outsoles, and insulation designed to regulate body temperature through cold starts and warm hikes. When the terrain gets tough, these boots keep you moving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do You Need Camo to Hunt Coyotes at Night?
While camouflage is not as crucial at night due to the darkness, it can still be beneficial to wear earth-toned, dark clothing to minimize visibility and movement detection. Coyotes have excellent night vision and can pick up on silhouettes and movement, so breaking up your outline with textures or types of camo patterns can help. However, the primary focus should be on minimizing movement and using stealth, as coyotes are highly sensitive to unnatural sounds and movements. Our coyote hunting clothes are built with these factors in mind—helping you disappear into the environment no matter the hour. From base layers to packs, our hunting clothes are purpose-driven and predator-tough. Because when the hunt gets real, you’ll want to be wearing SITKA.
What Colors Can Coyotes See?
Coyotes possess dichromatic vision, meaning they primarily see blues and yellows. Their retinas have two types of color-sensing cones—one sensitive to blue-violet and another to yellow—unlike humans’ three cones that detect red, green, and blue. This limits their color range, so reds, oranges, and greens often appear as dull grays or dark shades to them. Hunters exploit this by using red lights at night, as coyotes struggle to detect red wavelengths beyond about 540 nm.
How Quiet Is SITKA Gear for Predator Hunting?
SITKA gear is very quiet for predator hunting. We select fabrics specifically to minimize noise: brushed fleece faces, soft-hand textiles, and stretch materials that move silently when you draw, shoulder a rifle, or shift position. Products like the Jetstream and Ambient lines are designed for active hunting where stealth matters. That said, GORE-TEX rain shells are slightly louder than soft fleece layers, so many hunters save those for when weather demands it.
What Camo Pattern Works Best for Coyote Hunting?
The best SITKA pattern for coyote hunting depends on your terrain:
- Open Country: Sagebrush, prairie, and high desert
- Subalpine: Timber edges and mountainous terrain
- Elevated II or Cover: Eastern woodlands and mixed brush
- Solid earth tones (Deep Lichen, Lead, Coyote): Versatile across multiple environments and seasons
Many predator hunters prefer solids or muted patterns since coyotes are hunted across varied landscapes—often in the same outing.
Can I Use the Same Gear for Coyote Hunting and Big Game Hunting?
Absolutely. Most of our predator hunting collection is pulled directly from our big game lineup. If you're already set up for western big game, you're likely covered for coyotes. The main consideration is pattern: if you hunt coyotes across different terrain than your big game spots, a solid color or second pattern may add versatility.
