What pants you guys/girls wear in the backcountry?

[2MANY]

If the weather gets too hot I run me Sitka Silkys.

I rarely see anyone in the back country I hunt but I gotta believe if they saw me hunting in those they might find a new drainage to hunt.

Win Win.

Ive been trying out all sorts of new pants this year.. So far for hot weather, I really like the Kuiu tiberon pants or the Sitka ascent pants. For colder weather, I've been using the Kuiu attack pants with a merino base layer and really like them too! I just got the timberline pants and am looking forward to trying them out as well..
    If you keep an eye on the classifieds on this forum and others (like Rokslide) I'm always finding great deals! I picked up my Timberline pants (extremely lightly used) for $75.00

Anyone do a Filson type or a DIY of the same?

Good deal on a good pair of back country pants.

Bought a pair today. Just over $43.00 with tax.

Me too love them and stocked up on a couple back up pair.  Timberline in colder weather and 90 percent when even colder.

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

Sitka 90%

Sitka ascent pants are the most versatile, comfortable pants you can buy. So worth it.

  not complaining, but I cant pay $80 to $100 for a pair of fancy pants so I wear wool that I get for $10 to $30 at yard sales.  works fine for nasty weather.  suppose I would get hi end stuff if I was is a different tax bracket.  always wear kennetrek gaiters with wools.   mike w

I don't always wear pants, but when I do it's Sitka.

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. 

Just sold all my sitka stuff, and I am looking at doing this. I thought it'd be weird, but as long as I'm not the only one!  Looking at 8 oz fabric for early season and 12-24 OZ for late season. My only concern is the pouring rain, I know I will be warm at least. I think I might try the tin pants, and watershed jacket for rain gear and get a  Filson wool vest and some merino base layers for insulation.
