Here are some of the great upland clothing, boots and gear items for gun dog owners that caught our eye this season.

Choosing what we believe to be some of the best new pieces of upland gear  each year is always fun. In addition to killer duds, we've also rounded up a few dog accessories, coolers and general upland must-haves to truly round out a great day afield. This is merely a sampling of the many great products that are out there for 2017, but these are some of the special items that caught our eye this year.

A&C Moleskin Field Shirt

The story behind the Moleskin is an interesting one that goes back 270 years and involves the comfort of coal miners. It turns out when you spend your days doing backbreaking work, you need a great shirt. Moleskin was their choice of fabric, and today that same option is available to the upland hunter. This shirt, available in Loden or Cornsilk, is designed with side panels and bi-swing help to provide excellent fit and comfort. $198 | avedoncolby.com

It also features Climate Command Waterproof technology, which keeps your feet dry while traversing wet conditions (and remaining breathable). $150 | browning.com
