Deerhunter

Deerhunter – hunting clothing from Haderslev

Deerhunter was founded in 1985 by Carl D. Engel and is part of the family company F. Engel, founded in 1927. The head office is in Haderslev, Denmark, and in 2009 Deerhunter was appointed Purveyor to the Royal Danish Court. Deerhunter makes hunting clothing for men, women and children – from waterproof membrane jackets to knitwear, shirts, gloves and socks.

We carry a wide range of Deerhunter. Many sizes and colours are remote stock and ship from our supplier, so send us a message if you want to try a specific model in our shop in Aulum, Denmark.

DEER-TEX® and Stormliner® – the difference between the membranes

Deerhunter uses several types of membrane, and they are not the same:

• DEER-TEX® Performance Shell – a lightweight membrane laminated to the back of the outer fabric. All seams are taped, so the product is waterproof. Used in EAGLE and RECON, among others.
• DEER-TEX® Membrane – a loose membrane between the outer fabric and the lining. The seams are taped, and the loose membrane makes for a quiet garment. Used in MUFLON PRO, among others.
• DEERHUNTER Stormliner® – a highly breathable membrane on products without taped seams, such as the GAMEKEEPER shooting clothing.

On the product pages you can see the water column in mm and the breathability in g/m²/24 h where Deerhunter states them. Higher figures are better.

High-visibility colours for driven hunts

Many Deerhunter models are available in Safety Orange or Realtree Edge® Orange. Some of them are CE-marked and certified to EN 17353 – the European standard for enhanced visibility equipment. If a model is certified, it is listed in the product's certifications.

Lady and Youth

The Lady models have a women's fit and come in many of the same series as the men's models. The Youth collection has jackets, fleece and trousers in children's sizes. See hunting clothing for women and hunting clothing for children.

Caring for membrane clothing

Always follow the washing instructions in the garment. Dirt and grease can reduce the breathability of a membrane, so wash the clothing when it is dirty, and re-proof the outer fabric when water no longer beads off.

Which size should I choose?
