What pants you guys/girls wear in the backcountry?
« on: December 11, 2016, 06:54:08 AM »
I'm looking to get some new hiking/ hunting pants. I have been using 5.11s for a while but interested in trying  other options. What do you wear?

i have a pair of these and a pair of eddie bauer guide pants.
they are my all year hunting pants, my backpacking pants, etc.
went snow shoeing yesterday with my eddie bauer guide pants and a light merino layer under.  they shed the moisture and kept me warm and dry.

I have couple pairs of the kuhl brand pants that I like.  I also sometimes hike in my Sitka ascent pants if its hot out and timberline pants if it's cold.

I have the first lite Kanab and Corrugate's.  I absolutely love the corrugates for backcountry....  Outstanding all purpose pants.

This^^^. Bomb proof hunting pants for sure.  Also have a pair of Timberlines. Both solid pants.

the polyester pants work fine for me--lightweight, dry quickly and slick (not rubbing like jeans).
If I'm wearing raingear a lot, I like track/running pants.

I like the Sitka mountain pants. The Ascents are lighter so better in the warmer temps. If it's going to be wet I wear Timberlines. Pretty much the greatest pants ever created because of the waterproof butt and knees.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Duluth Trading Company dry on the fly. Super durable. Take them out of the washing machine and wear them. A little louder than I'd like but way cheaper than what most of these guys are paying for pants, especially with all the deals they email. Right now they are $45=70 bucks depending on style, They have a sale right now spend 100 get 30 dollars off. The key for me is they dry fast. Pretty important if I'm wearing one pair of pants for 3 or 4 days.
