Blaser built a strong reputation in hunting clothing through weather protection, quiet fabrics and practical field design. This article looks at why the brand became so well regarded among hunters, while also pointing readers towards the live hunting clothing collections we currently stock. For current options, our men’s shooting clothing collection is the strongest place to start.
What made the Active Vintage range stand out?
The Active Vintage Smock and Trousers were built around a fabric that balanced tradition with modern field performance. Hunting Loden gave the garments a quieter handle, while the layered construction helped deal with wind, rain and longer days outdoors. The result was clothing designed for hard use in difficult ground rather than occasional wear.
Protection built for changing conditions
One of the strongest points of the range was its ability to combine weather resistance with comfort over time. The fabric system was waterproof, wind-resistant and breathable, with moisture management built into the lining to help prevent a damp, heavy feel during active use. That kind of balance is a large part of what serious hunters look for in modern field clothing.
Field details that mattered in use
The smock included a peaked storm hood, underarm venting, two-way side zips and a practical arrangement of front pockets for essentials such as maps, binoculars and radio access. Those details mattered because they made the garment easier to live with through a full day outdoors, especially when the weather changed or the pace of the day varied.
The matching trousers continued the same thinking, with venting, reinforced areas, articulated shaping and an adjustable hem. The overall focus was clear: comfort, movement and protection where they mattered most.
How Blaser fits within the wider hunting clothing picture
Blaser remains a useful reference point in hunting clothing because it reflects the features many people still want from premium fieldwear: weather protection, breathability, quieter fabrics and a fit that works properly in use.
Current alternatives for hunting and field use
The same priorities that made Blaser clothing appealing still shape the best hunting clothing collections available now. For current alternatives, our Deerhunter collection and Westley Richards collection are both worth exploring.
Why Blaser still matters
Blaser clothing still matters because it helped define what many hunters expect from premium fieldwear: dependable weather protection, thoughtful pocket layout, ease of movement and comfort over long days outside. Even where the live range is smaller now, those same qualities remain central to the strongest hunting clothing available today.
