Hells Canyon Puffy Jacket
Description
Late-season birds donβt wait for good weather. When the mornings turn sharp and the wind picks up across open country, the Hells Canyon Puffy Jacket keeps you warm and moving.
Itβs built for mid- to late-season upland hunters working prairies, grasslands, CRP, and light cover. Thatβs country where you cover a lot of ground, the temperature swings, and the weather can turn before the dogs go on point. The 100 gsm lightweight insulation holds heat when youβre standing at the truck or waiting on a dog. It wonβt overheat you on a long walk into the wind.
Weather protection without the bulk
The shell is 181 GSM polyester laminated to a TPU membrane rated 10K highly water resistant and 8K breathable. A DWR finish makes rain and snow bead up and roll off. Moisture from a hard push escapes instead of building up inside. Inside, a smooth 400T 20D nylon taffeta lining slides easily over a base layer or flannel, so layering is quick at the tailgate.
Vents for when the walking gets serious
Pit vents on YKK #3 reverse coil zippers let you dump heat fast without taking the jacket off. Open them on the long push, close them when you stop.
Pockets that stay out of the way
The chest and side pockets close with YKK #3 invisible zippers. They keep shells, a phone, or a GPS secure without snagging or adding visual clutter. The front closes with a durable YKK #5 Vislon one-way zipper that runs smoothly with cold fingers or gloves.
Blaze orange, front to back
Full blaze orange keeps you visible to your hunting partners across open ground and meets blaze requirements in many states. Check your local regulations.
Know what itβs for
The Hells Canyon Puffy is not a brush jacket. Itβs not briar resistant, and itβs not made for heavy cover, thorns, or multiflora rose. Wear it where it shines: open country, light cover, cold days, and long walks behind good dogs. For the thick stuff, layer it under a brush-rated shell or vest.

Hells Canyon Puffy Jacket FAQ
What kind of hunting is the Hells Canyon Puffy built for?
Mid- to late-season upland hunting in open country, such as pheasants in CRP, sharptails and prairie chickens on grassland, and quail in light cover. Itβs made for cold days when you cover a lot of ground.
Can I wear it in heavy cover or briars?
No. It isnβt briar resistant and isnβt built for thorns, multiflora rose, or thick brush. For heavy cover, layer it under a brush-rated shell or vest.
Is the jacket waterproof?
The shell fabric is laminated to a TPU membrane rated 10K waterproof and 8K breathable and has a DWR finish. It sheds rain, sleet, and wet snow well but is not waterproof. Itβs built for active wear in changing weather, not as a full rain jacket.
Will I overheat while walking?
Itβs designed to prevent that. The 100 gsm insulation is lightweight, the membrane lets body heat and moisture escape, and the YKK pit vents dump heat fast when youβre pushing hard. Optimal temperature range would be below 40 degrees with activity.
How warm is it?
Itβs a lightweight puffy, not an expedition parka. It keeps you warm when youβre standing still on cold mornings and stays comfortable while youβre moving. On the coldest days, add a base layer or midlayer underneath.
Can I wear it with an upland vest?
Yes. The slim, lightweight insulation fits easily under an upland vest or strap vest, so you can carry shells and birds while you stay warm.
What are the pockets like?
The chest and side pockets close with YKK #3 invisible zippers. They keep a phone, GPS, or shells secure and donβt snag on cover.
Is the zipper easy to use with gloves?
Yes. The front uses a durable YKK #5 Vislon zipper with large teeth that works smoothly in the cold and with gloves on.
Does the blaze orange meet hunting regulations?
The jacket is full blaze orange for maximum visibility in the field. Requirements vary by state and season, so check your local regulations.
Whatβs the lining made of?
A 400T 20D nylon taffeta. Itβs smooth and light, so the jacket slides easily over a flannel or base layer.

A temperature regulating balance
The Hells Canyon Puffy is built to keep you warm without letting you overheat. Its 100 gsm lightweight insulation holds heat when you stop, without the bulk that leaves you soaked on a long walk. The shellβs TPU membrane is rated 10K waterproof and 8K breathable, so body heat and sweat escape while wind and wet weather stay out. When the pace picks up, YKK pit vents let heat out fast without taking the jacket off. That makes it a good fit for active upland hunters who go from standing still to pushing hard all day.
