Hillman, the performance hunting brand trusted by professionals across rugged North American terrain, today announced the release of its next-generation line of hunting boots for men, engineered with a dual-insulation system inspired by space technology. The new hunting boots collection features NASA-developed Aerogel™ paired with Matrix® insulation to deliver arctic-level warmth at a fraction of the weight and bulk of traditional padded boots.
Purpose-built for early season to late winter, the collection centers on two flagship models: the Insulated Hunting Boots – Warmest Waterproof Aerogel™ and the Waterproof Hunting Boots – Uninsulated Lightweight DryHunt™. Both are made to improve comfort, traction, durability, and thermoregulation for professional hunters who want more from their shoes.
Insulated Hunting Boots: Aerogel™ Warmth for Extreme Cold
Hillman’s Insulated Hunting Boots are built for the toughest late-season hunts. Rated for −22°F (−30°C), these boots use a dual insulation system pairing NASA-developed Aerogel™ with Matrix®, the world’s lightest thermal layer.
Highlights include:
- Apex Warmth: Up to 16× lighter and 30% less bulky than traditional Thinsulate™ boots.
- Dryhunt® nano-membrane: Blocks water up to 5 inches deep while pumping out sweat for all-day dryness.
- Vibram® ARCTIC GRIP™ outsole: Engineered for mud, snow, and ice traction.
- The FREELOCK® smart lacing system: 1 mm stainless steel wire that is almost impossible to break for quick and safe fit changes.
- Comfort right out of the box: Ergonomic design gets rid of the break-in phase, so you can go for a long time without getting blisters or getting tired.
This insulated powerhouse changes the game for men’s hunting boots in very cold conditions.
Waterproof Hunting Boots: Lightweight Versatility for All Seasons
For early and mid-season hunts, Hillman introduces its ultralight waterproof model: the Waterproof Hunting Boots . Weighing just 1.1 lbs per boot, they deliver agility without sacrificing durability or waterproofing.
Key features include:
- Dryhunt® breathable waterproofing: 300% more air-permeable than standard membranes, preventing sweaty feet while keeping water out.
- Matrix® insulation: A featherlight 1 mm layer keeps feet comfortable from 70°F down to 23°F.
- Vibram® MEGAGRIP™ outsole: Superior mud-shedding grip and quiet performance in diverse terrain.
- FREELOCK® lacing system: Fast on/off adjustments, reliable even in mud or grit.
- Dyneema® reinforcements: Unmatched strength for usage in all seasons.
Engineered for mobility, these waterproof hunting boots for men adapt seamlessly from warm September stalks to chilly November mornings.
The Next Evolution of Hunting Footwear
For decades, hunters have struggled with bulky, sweat-trapping boots that either compromise comfort or fail in extreme weather. Hunters can be safe down to −22°F (−30°C) without the hefty grams of insulation holding them down thanks to Aerogel™ insulation, which is up to 16 times lighter than regular padding. This new technology keeps you warm without adding bulk, beating even the thickest regular boots.
Hillman’s innovative Dryhunt™ membrane is at the heart of this new product. It allows for up to 300% more breathability than regular waterproof liners while yet keeping you completely dry. The end result is the best thermoregulation in all weather: dry comfort in the heat, steady warmth in the cold, and steady performance over lengthy hunts.
