Pants for wet brush?

I wear the double tin chaps over my normal jeans or over my lightweight Frog Togg hip boots in marsh/ponds/boggs.
Do need to wax them seasonally for best water repellency. I wouldn't call them waterproof, but quite effective.
Anything nylon/Cordura is noisy as hell.

Retired logger so I've about seen it all for rain gear. Currently wear Iron eagle by tingley. It's polyurethane over nylon and it is tough but a little noisy. PVC is more prone to tear. If your rain gear says breathable it leaks, might be good for the occasional shower but all day in the wet, you get wet. Here is the key to keep from sweating in waterproof gear, buy them big with a lot of room inside. Your pants should be big enough to easily slip them off or on with your caulk shoes on. :chuckle: Bibs with your coat unbuttoned and the air can circulate.
I never cared for tin pants because when you put them on you had them for the day even if the weather changed.

Take an old pair of waders and cut off the rubber boots. I use a neoprene setup for work sites and thick blacktail hunts.

Bruce, you are teasing us. Ain't no way I am getting a pair of rubbers over my caulks. I think I would throw out my back first. Nice try. :)
I agree with you about Filton tin pants--they have their place in sage brush country, but not in the wetside blackberry jungle. Neoprene is also out for me--the blackberry stickers love to grab that material.

Just have to buy them big enough. I can look right down the inside of my rain pants and see my shoes. :chuckle:
