Due to the demand for the Prime Summer Shorts, we have revisited and revamped the designs to add improvements where we could. Through an elaborate developing and testing process we have produced the Hydrapel Short, a garment that with significant improvements on its predecessor.

Sizes: S - 4XL   
Fabric: Hydrapel
Colour: NEW Veil Camo
Features: 2 zippered front pockets

The Shorts are made from Hydrapel fabric as it needs to be tough and durable to last in the harsh conditions it is subject to. As well as being durable the Hydrapel fabric has an excellent wicking ability, allowing the wearer to maintain a comfortable body temperature even in hot weather.

Partnership with Desolve Camouflage

Hunters Element in New Zealand and Australia have partnered with Desolve® Camouflage and are bringing three new camouflage patterns to the market in a new range of hunting gear arriving over the coming months. Some of what is coming is a world first in hunting gear so it is time to get excited.

Continuing the success of Veil Camouflage, these new deception camouflage patterns suit browner terrain as well as a high visibility pattern and a specific waterfowl pattern designed for duck shooters.

Animal vision differs significantly from human vision yet the idea of concealing ourselves from the human eye has dominated the hunting camouflage market internationally. That is until now.

Challenging Perceptions - active deception replaces passive concealment

Common sense tells us that if we can’t see the hunter, the animal can’t either. Science challenges those perceptions and Desolve® Deception Camouflage has produced the evidence. A hunting camouflage system that works with its environment and the weaknesses in animal vision to take you out of the picture. This replaces our passive attempts to hide with the confidence of active concealment.

Reducing the range of engagement is in the front of every hunters mind, the challenge for any camouflage is concealing you effectively at any range. Patterns that mimic your surroundings depend on ideal conditions and a constant landscape. They work with the human eye, ultimately producing a false confidence. We are programmed to believe what we see but when it comes to hunting, it is more effective to believe what animals see. The rules have changed in your favour, game on.

System Wide Compatibility - Layering is the most efficient way of controlling body temperature and comfort in your environment. The Hunters Element clothing range is designed to be worn in any configuration which sets it apart from the others. They call this System Wide Compatiblity or logical.
