The soft, extremely low-noise stretch Tricot fabric used to construct the Deer Stalker camo HWS trousers has been DWR treated to make it water and dirt repellent. They work really well for stalking, unlike many other membrane-equipped pants. However, the integrated HWS membrane, with its hydrostatic head of 20,000mm, keeps you completely dry even during severe rain. There are zippered vents on the back of the thighs to keep you cool if your level of exercise increases and you start to become hot. Additionally, the lining of the pants is moisture-wicking.

They feature Harkila's own AXIS MSP camouflage, which disrupts your outline and lets you merge into the background. MSP stands for Multi Season Pattern, and, as the name suggests, they designed this camouflage to be effective in a variety of terrains at different times of the year. It was developed with the assistance of camouflage expert Guy Cramer, who, in addition to AXIS MSP, has designed camouflages for military use in many countries.

The trousers have two large, zipped, front pockets and a 4-shot cartridge holder on the right thigh. There are adjustment straps behind the knees for achieving the optimum fit. There are also ankle adjusters to ensure that they close tightly round your boots. There is also a hidden hook at each ankle to attach to your bootlaces, to prevent the trouser legs riding up while you are stalking.
