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.
Quote from: Okanagan on December 12, 2016, 10:35:36 AMWool 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.

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