When you're in wet brush there's not a pant out there that will keep the water out for more than 100 yards other than rain pants.  Invest in really good rain pants before dropping big bucks on pants.

No plans on spending big bucks on britches. This thread went fairly quickly to the whole sitka, kuiu, gotta spend hundreds of dollars on pants. I don't play that game.

Your prolly right buglebrush, just hoping for something that might work better than what I got.

I honestly wear cheap poly blend slacks from JCPenny or the like.  They are quite, don't bind, and dry out quick.

yup!

some of the options that have been given are exactly what you pay for..no thanks been there done that and are garbage cheap pants. I also have never bought a single piece of clothing ever at listed price .All of my pants have been put thru hell and hundreds if not thousands of miles. I still have the first pair of sitka ascents I bought 10 years ago

I voted Prana because the OP said hiking pants. If he said hunting pants I would of went with a Kuiu recommendation.

If I'm hiking, scouting, or working cams my Prana's do the job. They also serve as a good Sept elk hunting pant. The kuiu pants come out when it gets cold and wet.  :twocents:

Outdoor research has some bad azz pants, the alpine in green, but they are too damn tall for me.  The only frustrating thing with OR is their sizing, they don't like short, fat people!!

I would take a look at the wrangler outdoor pants from Walmart. They are really comfy pants that dry fairly fast when they get damp. I have the 90%pants, the mountain pants and the ascent pants and I end up wearing the wranglers the most.

You will have a better selection at the individual stores.
I found that the online Walmart store does not show what is at the brick and mortar stores well.

Beware.  I've been using the Wranglers for a few years and they've been great.  I went in a few weeks ago to buy a new pair.  You can't currently try them on as the dressing rooms are close due to the 'Rona.  "No biggie", I thought.  I bought a pair with a 30" inseam.  Too short.  Took them back to exchange for a 32"inseam.  WalMart is not taking returns at this time, due to the 'Rona.  Pissed me off, but I decided to buy the 32" inseam pair anyway and just return the 30" pair later.  Got home to find that the 32" inseam pants were 2 inches shorter than the 30" pair!    :bash:  Now I'm waiting for REI to open so I can bite the bullet and pay significantly more for something that fits.   :rolleyes:

Prana or Kuiu

Prana, but I just looked on their website and I see they make a 36" inseam pant. They don't seem to sell them in stores, at least not at REI and with their L XL M sizing system, I don't like to risk what fits and what doesn't. I have found that I always end up fitting somewhere between a L and XL. Wish I could try some on somewhere with the right inseam.

What the heck.
The cool Prana pants are the stretch Zion pants right? I was right...no 36" inseam.

Amazon has the waist/length sizing options up to 36". Prana has always fit true to size for me.

I like outdoor research ferrosi pants. Very light weight, dry fast, and feel like wearing sweatpants. Not great for late fall or winter tho, but maybe doable with layers.

I have had terrible experience with Sitka. A couple weeks archery hunting and Sitka pants were shredded and sent in they asked if I wanted them to “recycle “ or PAY for them to ship back! I am with you most of that stuff is a rip off. Wish I could wear my green woolies year round. Kuiu is better but mine are pretty tore up. I am going to check out Walmart wrangler 👍
