Outdoor Clothing for Birders

Know, first, who you are; and then adorn yourself accordingly  ~ Epictetus

Serious birders will often need serious clothing if they are to pursue their hobby in all weathers or in overseas climates. For some this may be a fashion statement or a walking gallery of places they have visited, but for most of us its a matter of wearing the best clothes we can afford that do the job. Below we list some of the top manufacturers and retailers in nations around the world who will be able to cater for your needs.

You will find that the majority allow you to shop on line so it may well be worth trying an overseas supplier if you cannot find what you need at home.

Weather is not the only consideration – wearing subdued colours typical of the habitat is as much part of fieldcraft as keeping a low slow profile and not making undue noise – kahki, greens and browns are favourite for most places we bird. Clothes that do not crackle and russle nor restrict your movement is also worth giving thought to. Whatever your needs one of the suppliers below should be able to help.
