I live out of my first lite corrugates for weeks at a time from August to November. Love them.

I wear my military bdu pants until the lates season, when I switch to fleece hiking pants from Marmot. Both are comfy, durable & dry quickly. I always wear the fleece under waders

Primarily First Lite Kanabs ... sometimes the Corrugates.  Kanabs are very comfortable, dead quite and dont stink.  Ill go weeks without washing them if Im not crawling around in the dirt.  I also wear some Mountain Hardware pants if I know Im going to be in thick thorns.  I think they are called the Mesa but I bought mine a long time ago and I know they redesigned them since.  Super durable and dry really fast.  They do make a little noise though.

Forgot to add ... Prana Zion pants are awesome.  I usually dont take mine hunting since they are the light tan and they are one of my "nice" pants for now.  Some day Ill pick up another pair.

Kuiu Attack Pants

Wool and wool/synthetic blend dress pants from a thrift store might be worth a look and a try out.  They are quiet, thin, lightweight fabric that sheds light rain and dew and are cut roomy for ease of movement, easy to lift a leg high to step over a log, etc.  If you tear them badly, toss them.   $4 to $8 is a common price.   I avoid heavy wool and look for thin dress pant material.  We can use them HARD, get them bloody etc. without any care or caution about tearing or staining expensive pants.

I have some higher end pants and like Grammici climbing pants but in most Fall and even some winter conditions prefer the light wool.  I cheerfully accept that this may be considered weird or cheap.  Nah, light wool dress pants are merely functional.

Another vote for Prana Zions here. Super durable, shed moisture, wear extremely comfortable and breathe pretty darn well. You can also live out of them for weeks at a time and they stay pretty fresh. They are also relatively cheap compared to Sitka/Kuiu/FirstLite etc.

Good deal on a good pair of back country pants.

I have used these almost exclusively for the past 3 years:

They are really really rugged.  I have done a lot of class 5 rock climbing with them and they take slides over harsh rock with zero damage.  I have used them in Africa in warm weather, and the Cascades in cold/snowy weather.

They are not waterproof, but dry fast, and keep me warm.  for a downpour, I carry rain pants to slip over them, but rarely do that.

Made for mountaineering and rock climbing, they are tough tough tough!  Reasonably priced too.  Bought 2 extra pairs so that when they stop making them, I still have pants!

I have considered this but never acted on it. Might have to try now
