What wool pants?
« on: December 05, 2012, 09:56:48 AM »
Looking for a new pair of mid weight wool pants and am curious who has what. I Have Columbia, looking for a ill lighter.  I've looked at filson and like whipcords but would really like cargo pockets, mackinaw's aren't camo, but may work.  Thanks in advance!

Try Big Bill brand.  I have used them for 4 seasons now and they have held up really well.

Yep- I wear them all winter up here.  They are pretty good pants for the money.  I wore a hole in the last pair after about 6 weeks and cabelas replaced them...so that was nice.

The Filsons are great pants.  I think you can get them with small cargo pockets.  Mine don't have any.  They will last foreever.

I've had a bunch of military surplus wool pants over the years that worked great.  Right now I have a pair that were from the Canadian army.  I got these at Ed's surplus in Lynnwood, don't know if the store is even there any more.  They were about $20.  I can't find them any more but if you come across a pair of the German ones with the double knees, grab them, they are great.

I like mil surp too.  I haven't found cargo pockets on them though.  I have been thinking of sewing some on but I imagine it wouldn't look real good.   :chuckle:

I wear Woolrich bibs with no long johns in upper 30's temp to high 40's, then put mid weight polypropolyne long john's on for colder temps. Went snowshoeing in a blizzard on MT Baker last January that way plent warm, of course I looked like the abominal snowman with snow dingle berries hanging off them.  :IBCOOL:

I love everything Filson...but way too expensive.

For wool pants, I love my Army Surplus Swedish (cargo pockets, ankle buckels) wool pants.  You can pick up great quality, and they are so cheap, you can buy a new pair every other year.

Ed's is still in business FYI, I stopped by there today. Great little shop, they have various wool military pants in various sizes. Love that store, been goin there since I was a little kid

I have some "non-military" wool pants too but I usually leave them at home in favor of the military surplus ones that cost 25% as much.
