Most deer and other\nwildlife will hunker down during heavy rains and emerge when the rain lightens\nup or stops altogether, so when they do, you\u2019ll want to be ready.\nUnfortunately, that means you\u2019ll have to head out while it\u2019s already raining,\nbut that doesn\u2019t have to be as miserable as it sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Kool Dri<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Rainwear, it\u2019s all in our name. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kooldrirainwear.com\/rainsuit.asp\">Our camouflage and solid color rain suits<\/a> are perfect for staying dry in any season. They\u2019re light weight so you can easily pack them up after the rain is over, but also sturdy enough that you can wear them over gear that will keep you warm. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kooldrirainwear.com\/materials.asp\">specially developed polymer and nylon materials<\/a> are truly waterproof and almost completely indestructible, making them a key component in the perfect bow hunting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kooldrirainwear.com\/rainsuit.asp\">rain suit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Shoot in Bulky Clothes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rain can be your biggest ally when you\u2019re bow hunting since it helps muffle sounds, but bulking up under warm clothes while also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kooldrirainwear.com\/blog\/our-favorite-tips-for-keeping-dry-while-camping-in-the-rain\/\">trying to stay dry<\/a> can be cumbersome when you\u2019re trying to shoot. When you use one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kooldrirainwear.com\/rainsuit.asp\">Kool Dri<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Rain Suits<\/a> over your warmer clothes, you won\u2019t have to worry about that added bulk that may restrict your shot when that 10-pointer strolls by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Your Feet Dry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important steps when it comes to keeping\nyourself warm while bow hunting is to make sure you keep your feet warm and\ndry. Even with rain boots, keeping the water out of your socks can be quite a\nhassle and is likely the last thing you\u2019ll want to be worrying about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, make sure you wear two layers of socks\u2014one inner\nlayer that will wick up any moisture, and a thicker outer layer that will keep\nyour feet insulated. You\u2019ll also want to make sure your boots fit properly and\nthat at least one layer of your pants can fit into your boots to help keep your\nfeet insulated. We also recommend packing a few extra pairs of dry socks in a resealable\nplastic bag just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Dry Clothes and Towels in Your Car<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of dry clothes, even if you stay mostly dry for a\nfew hours in the rain, some of the under layers of your clothing may have soaked\nup body moisture from hiking to and from your tree stand. If that\u2019s the case,\nwe find that coming back to a nice set of dry clothes and some towels in the\ntruck can be a game changer. It sounds like an unnecessary extra step, but\nhaving a few towels to dry off and sit on while driving home can make all the\ndifference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invest in Waterproof Bags and Spray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve sufficiently waterproofed yourself, what\nabout everything else? If your hunting gear isn\u2019t waterproof, we suggest\napplying a waterproofing spray to dry gear to help protect it before you go out\nand face the elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another tip that we\u2019ve picked up on is using Ziploc or\nsimilar bags to store electronics, snacks, or anything else that you take with\nyou. Not only does this diminish any sounds of opening bags of chips (we\u2019ve all\ngotten hungry out there, let\u2019s face it!), but it keeps everything dry and\ncompartmentalized. Plus, you can easily store your bags in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kooldrirainwear.com\/features.asp\">your rain suit pockets!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use a Tree Umbrella or Ground Blind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kooldrirainwear.com\/parka.asp\">the\nbest rain gear,<\/a> a lot of hunters find that their laps can still get wet and\ncold after sitting in the rain for so long. We recommend to always set up your\ntree stand with a tree umbrella for an extra layer of protection against the\nwet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that\u2019s not your style or you\u2019re afraid of the noise from\nthe rain, a ground blind is always another great way of staying out of the\nelements. It also gives you a freer range of movement under the cover of the\nblind, so you don\u2019t have to worry as much about a sudden shift spooking a doe\nthat just so happened to be walking by when you needed to stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While bow hunting in the rain may not sound like an ideal\nway to spend your day, we found that with the right gear and setup, the\nexperience is just as enjoyable as a day with nicer weather. If you\u2019re still\nnot sure, try out our gear for yourself and watch the forest come alive after a\nhard rain!
