Prana zionsi 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.

Sitka Mountain Pants, best hunting pants I have ever owned!
This^^^. Bomb proof hunting pants for sure. Also have a pair of Timberlines. Both solid pants.

If I'm wearing raingear a lot, I like track/running pants.

Forgot to add ... Prana Zion pants are awesome. I usually dont take mine hunting since they are the light tan and they are one of my "nice" pants for now. Some day Ill pick up another pair.

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. :)

They are really really rugged. I have done a lot of class 5 rock climbing with them and they take slides over harsh rock with zero damage. I have used them in Africa in warm weather, and the Cascades in cold/snowy weather.
They are not waterproof, but dry fast, and keep me warm. for a downpour, I carry rain pants to slip over them, but rarely do that.
Made for mountaineering and rock climbing, they are tough tough tough! Reasonably priced too. Bought 2 extra pairs so that when they stop making them, I still have pants!

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 considered this but never acted on it. Might have to try now

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.

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

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! :chuckle: 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.

If the weather gets too hot I run me Sitka Silkys.Sadly I am one of those guys who had to see this and didn't have the option of leaving!!

I have used Tin pants they are cool, but really noisy and the oil is like wearing multiple pairs of leather boots :chuckle:

They freaking rock!!. I wondered for so many years why someone would not make a waterproof butt pant so I could stop carrying around a 20 gallon plastic garbage bag. The knees are just a bonus!!!
