With the Wildboar Pro model, Härkila is behind some of the best and most popular wild boar trousers on the market.
A pair of proper boar pants can be the difference between life and death for a hunter who is attacked by a wild boar. In order for a pair of pants to be classified as "boar pants" or have special protection against wild boar, they should be tested by an independent and credible institute. This is so that you can actually be as safe as you feel but also not spend large sums of money on something that is not up to scratch. The majority of wild boar attacks hit with the tusks in the thighs, and there is, as you know, an artery that when hit can quickly lead to major blood loss and thus mean that in the worst case you die.
Over the years, Härkila's clothing has become synonymous with quality and technical innovation in the hunting and dog walking community. When they started making their own clothing in the 1980s to address the challenges and shortcomings they saw in other hunting brands, they probably never imagined that they would end up as the internationally recognized and sought-after brand they are today.
The Wildboar Pro trousers are yet another example of how they apply today's technological developments in textiles and materials to make hunting both easier and safer. The pants have a protective material sewn into the entire front and on the back up over the knee cap. The protection is tested by the German independent institutions KWF and DPLF, which test and certify protective products in the forestry and safety industry. Sometimes people talk about Kevlar in wild boar trousers and it has almost become a description for the different materials and methods used to create the protection. The specific material in the case of Härkila is called VerriSteel and will give you a safe and stable protection against a possible boar attack.
These pants are so durable that they are covered by Härkila's warranty of 5 years, which you rarely find anywhere and even less in the clothing industry. For extra mobility, the pants are equipped with large areas of stretch and a double layer of Gore-Tex to keep out water but still breathe.
Considering the protection the pants provide and the long lifetime they have, these pants are an almost obvious choice for the active hunter who does not leave his safety to chance.
