Good deal on a good pair of back country pants.
I'm gonna be the odd one , I wear Core4Elements Element pants.
Love the pranas for summer scouting all the way thru October, used to wear core 4 elements when it got cold but been getting holes in the butt from glassing, need to switch to something with a re enforced seat
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.
