Backcountry Harmony: Luke Combs’ New Turkey Hunting Collection with Columbia

If you’ve ever heard the call of the wild but weren’t sure what to wear, Columbia Sportswear and Luke Combs have you covered. To bring the wild turkey within range, hunters need not only skill, but the right apparel. The new collaboration between Columbia and Luke Combs delivers perfect harmony of style and function for turkey hunters everywhere, with great fit, performance and of course, camouflage.

“I’ve been turkey hunting for about a decade now, and I have quickly learned that every detail counts in this sport,” Combs says. “It’s all about feeling confident that your equipment is both practical and durable in the most intense situations. After rigorous testing of every aspect of this collection, I’m ecstatic about how it turned out.”

The new PHG Turkey Hunting Collection brings together Luke Combs’ passion for the outdoors with Columbia’s legendary technical expertise. Combs played a hands-on role in the design process, from selecting fabrics to fine-tuning features. The collection showcases Mossy Oak’s iconic Greenleaf Camouflage—a pattern Combs has long favored for its seamless blend of stealth and style. Greenleaf’s performance makes it a standout choice for serious turkey hunters everywhere.

"Gear is crucial for turkey hunters,” Combs says. “It’s not just about looking the part, it’s about feeling comfortable and knowing your equipment will hold up. This vest, with its custom pockets for calls and its breathable design, does exactly that.”

Columbia has long been a favorite of Combs, who has worn the brand's iconic shirts both onstage and off for years. His fan club, the legendary Bootleggers, also embrace Columbia apparel, particularly the PFG Bahama and Tamiami shirts, known for their classic comfort and style. Additionally, Columbia provides apparel for the staff at Combs’ Nashville-based bar and restaurant, Category 10, named after the chart-topping hit 'Hurricane.'

To ensure the gear meets the high standards of both turkey hunters and the man behind the design, Combs and some 50 more hunters tested the collection over a three-year period, across miles of terrain. Whether in Tennessee, Texas, or Luke’s home state of North Carolina, every detail has been fine-tuned for performance and comfort.

For Luke, hunting is more than just a hobby—it’s a way to recharge. “It’s nice to be there, and not have your phone, and not be plugged into anything for a while,” says Combs. “You’re able to disconnect from the things that are out of your control and focus on time with family and friends. And it’s a damn good time.” The kit includes a vest, hoodie, pants, gloves, neck gaiter, and ball cap, so that hunters can have head to foot coverage. The Luke Combs Turkey Hunting Vest has plenty of room for multiple turkey calls and features a thick, padded removable seat that tucks up when not in use. And there’s a foam back panel for extra comfort when you’re leaning against a tree. Combs focused on all the details, even the lined game bag on the back that can be zipped open and laid flat for easy cleaning.

“For me, this vest has been a three-year process of hunting, going back and forth with design and materials, experimenting with pocket placement and zipper orientation. Attention to detail is so important,” says Combs. “I put three seasons of thought into the vest and the entire collection and I’m ecstatic about how it turned out.”

 The Turkey Hunting Hoodie and Pants, made with Columbia’s proprietary Omni-Shade™ and Omni-Wick™ materials, provide UPF 50 sun protection and advanced moisture wicking. Plus, there’s a roomy hand-warmer kangaroo pocket in the hoodie to keep small items at-the-ready. The pants have articulated knees, multiple pockets, belt loops, adjustable cuffs, and mesh lining for breathability. Plus, wear testers—including Combs--asked for great stretch. The pants move with you and never restrict range of motion. We can’t promise that you’ll be as nimble as the wild turkey, but these pants will help!

Even the gloves are packed with features every turkey hunter will appreciate: a grip patch with the PHG logo on the palms for secure handling, and fingerless tips for precision during trigger pulls. The adjustable cap boasts a wide bill, while the neck gaiter is designed to be pulled up high when all you want to show is camo. Whether you’re navigating rough terrain, crouching low in the brush, or sitting patiently against a tree, this kit ensures you stay comfortable and stealthy.

Luke Combs has always been an avid outdoorsman, and his love for turkey hunting is no exception. "Growing up, I didn’t have the access to hunting land like I do now,” says Combs. “But once I got into the music business and things settled down, I found hunting to be the perfect way to disconnect and spend time with family and friends. It’s about getting away from the chaos and being present in the moment."

In addition to his passion for hunting, Combs is a strong supporter of motivating people to try the sport. Turkey hunting is a way to not only enjoy, but to give back to the outdoors.

Wild turkey populations, once on the brink of decline, have rebounded thanks to regulated hunting practices and habitat restoration.

From seasoned turkey hunters to anyone looking to experience the thrill of the hunt for the first time, Luke Combs’ new turkey hunting collection with Columbia offers a perfect combination of style, function, and performance. Gear up, head into the woods, and find your own rhythm in the wild. The entire Luke Combs Turkey Hunting Kit is available now on Columbia.com.
