Deerhunter 8168 - 3D camouflage gloves

Deerhunter 8168, 3D camouflage gloves for inconspicuous ambushes and stalking

Right in the middle of the hide, camera at the ready, the light is perfect, and then of all things bright hands give away your entire setup. That’s exactly where the Deerhunter 8168 3D camouflage gloves come into play. They are designed to make your hands as inconspicuous as possible without slowing you down when operating your camera, binoculars, or firearm.

Extra thin, featherlight and still surprisingly robust

These camouflage gloves are deliberately made extremely thin and light. You hardly feel them when wearing them, yet you can still focus precisely, release the shutter, or readjust the tripod. No thick, stiff material that annoys you when turning rings or pressing small buttons, but a pleasantly soft, flexible fabric that feels very close to “no glove”, just camouflaged.

3D camouflage: leaf appliqués that break up contours

On the back, the Deerhunter 8168 are equipped with fine 3D leaf appliqués. This three-dimensional structure ensures that your hands blend in with the surroundings not only in terms of color, but also in terms of shape. The 3D camouflage fabric breaks up the otherwise clear hand contours that animals or particularly watchful birds would quickly recognize.

In addition to the camouflage pattern, the natural lines of your hands are practically completely dissolved. Especially during quiet ambushes in the forest, at the edge of fields, or in reed beds, this acts like a small “invisibility booster”, making your hands visually disappear into the surrounding leaves, branches, and shadows.

Dot-grip coating on the palm for a secure hold

A fine dot-grip coating is used on the palm. Many small, grippy dots give you noticeably more hold when handling your camera, spotting scope, binoculars, or firearm. This way, even in damp weather, things won’t immediately slip from your hand just because the glove is so thin. You retain control, yet can still work quietly and precisely.

Consistently designed for camouflage

These gloves are solely intended for camouflage. They are not designed for cold protection, but as a visual complement to your other camouflage clothing. In combination with a ghillie suit, jacket, and trousers, they make your hands almost invisible to shy animals. Especially during movements in the peripheral field of view of wild animals, such as gently tracking with the camera or slowly raising the binoculars, the 3D structure reduces the chance that you will be noticed.

Ideal complement to 3D camouflage face masks and camouflage clothing

The Deerhunter 8168 really come into their own when you use them as part of a complete camouflage concept. Together with a 3D camouflage face mask and matching camouflage clothing, they create a continuous overall appearance in which neither hands nor face stand out as bright areas from the surroundings. Especially the face and hands are the two biggest “giveaways” in many setups; with these gloves you eliminate one of these problem areas.

Useful in the hide, not just out in the field

You might think that in a hide you are invisible anyway. In practice, however, from the outside you can often see surprisingly clearly bright hands and eyes as soon as something moves inside or light falls through openings. Our tip: use the Deerhunter 8168 camouflage gloves in the hide as well to prevent your hands from becoming visible through windows and slits while photographing, filming, or observing.

Together with a suitable face mask, you reduce the conspicuous bright areas inside the hide. Especially with wary species that become suspicious at the slightest irregularities, this can make the decisive difference between “flown away” and “perfectly in the bag”.

Color 40-Innovation: inconspicuous in many habitats

The 40-Innovation color variant is matched to a wide range of typical Central European vegetation zones. Mixtures of muted green, brown, and natural tones ensure that the gloves work well in the forest, in hedgerows, in reed belts, and along field edges. No bright accents, no shiny material; everything is designed to minimize light reflections and make you visually disappear into the background.

Material and care: 100% polyester, machine washable

The Deerhunter 8168 3D camouflage gloves are made from 100% polyester. The material is light, dries quickly, and retains its shape even after several washes. Practical for everyday use: the gloves are machine washable, so you can easily get them clean again after muddy, dusty, or sweaty outings.

Especially with frequent use in the field, on photo tours, or during longer stays in the hide, this is convenient: you don’t have to be delicate, you can clean the gloves normally and reuse them without the 3D structure or camouflage pattern suffering immediately.

Who are the Deerhunter 8168 3D camouflage gloves suitable for?

The gloves are of interest to you if you:

• photograph or film wildlife and want to keep your hands as invisible as possible
• value consistent camouflage when hunting, including your hands
• work in a hide and want to prevent hands and movements from being visible from the outside
• are looking for a very light, sensitive solution that does not restrict your ability to operate your equipment

They are not winter gloves, not cut-protection gloves, and not an all-round work glove. They are a specialized camouflage tool, and that is exactly where they excel.

Conclusion: small addition, big effect on your camouflage

All in all, the Deerhunter 8168 3D camouflage gloves are an inconspicuous but very effective addition to your existing camouflage clothing. Thanks to the extra-thin material, the 3D leaf appliqués, and the dot-grip coating on the palm, you get a combination of high camouflage effect and good operability of your equipment.

If you want to think your camouflage through consistently, right down to your hands, these gloves are a very sensible, practical solution that takes up hardly any space in your backpack but can make a noticeable difference out in the field.
