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.

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.
