Flipping awesome.
The strech in the top end make the walking, climbing kneeling, jumping, etc pain free and crotch rip free.
Though if they ever rip, bean will replace no questions asked.
Best customer service of any company out there.

LLbean Uplander pro nylon briar pants for me.

good to know you feel that way, I worked for L.L.Bean and did design work on some of their hunting line(not the upland pants but wool stuff). The guys that work on their product are hardcore bird hunters and have a real passion for getting out in the field.

if you really get in the sharp heavy prickers, nothing wrong with Filson tin cloth but for normal situations lighter is better for me...
Been in some heavy stuff in my Filsons. But not for warm weather. Use an early season from Cabelas.

Heavier brush, the kuhl stuff is great, but not so water resistant in the wet stuff. For wet, wintry I always go to my LL BEAN GORETEX PANTS. BEST OUT THERE AND REALLY COMFORTABLE.

Nothing wrong with double-front Carhartt pants. They are tough and hold up well to all things pokey.

Not if you hunt a lot. I can't even get two years out of a pair of
Carhartts.

Really depends on the hunting and time of year. Early Chukar for me brings out the Kuhl Rydr pants. I don't need nor want the weight. If I'm worried about coon tails I wear my Rattlers gatters. I am going to hunt with with Eddie Bauer first ascent light guide pants this year and see how they hold up. Again, light and breath very well.
Sitka Ascent pants are very good for chukars too. Late season I just put on a pair of mid weight wool bottoms and add gaiters.

I guess it depends on your circumstances. I am putting in six to ten days a year for Quail. They do get ragged around the cuffs after a couple of years but they seem to hang in there. They do get heavy when wet but I wear First Lite long johns under them. Just my .02.

If you can wear them out that fast then you are living life the right way.

Yep. They last forever and you don't have to break the bank. Of course Cab, they're not a stylish as what you LL Bean boys like to be seen in! :chuckle:

I love walking around in double front Carhartts saturated with water that weigh 25 pounds. Form over function for sure!!!

Yep, looking good is what it's about.

:chuckle: True not great when wet. But that's not a lot, especially on the east side. I had to give my hunting partner a little guff.

The Bean pants are going into their 4th season and will last much longer than that, making them a better value than Carhartts. As pointed out, value depends on your usage. If I was hunting quail 6-10 times a year, I would probably stick with the Carhartts.

Ask Bob33 about getting wet while pheasant hunting.

You know me Pianoman, the kind of guy that has the "fancy" clothing but still decides to use a recurve :chuckle: I think my dad might have put that under "think about priorities" category because every camo/piece of clothing looks good when theres a dead animal in front of it.

We still have yet to reach that point this season, unfortunately. :bash:

LLbean tech pants for me. I wear them for all hunts. Grouse on the wet and dry side and Chukar early and late. I love the legs allow you crawl over logs and climb steep hills with out getting hung up. I have about 300 miles on a used pair my friend gave me. So I would say they are maid really well
I think I'm approaching well north of 600 on mine, yes they are very well made.

+1 on the Carhartt's.
I have been using them in the khaki color for the last 10 years. I also put the foam knee pads in them. They hold up to any brush and when cold the knee pads really help keep your knees warm. When it's cold a pair of silk LJ's under and I am comfortable. I am typically in them 20+ days a year in Columbia basin. Gave all my fancy pants away :chuckle:
