Title: Comfortable hiking pants?
Post by: jstone on March 12, 2019, 05:09:14 PM
What are a good comfortable hiking pants? Some that you could wear hunting to.? I archery hunt so they would be brown or green? I have just seen people hunting on shows and they don’t always wear the camo pants?

Curious

These pants when purchased at 50% off are the best deal around for hunting or hiking.  They flat out handle the brush, breathe well, flex and dry quickly.  Just wait until they are 50% off.  Happens at least 4x per year.

I'm pretty much wool pants year round. Got a pair of filson Mackinaw's (thanks Bango) that are my go to for everything but summer early fall and a Woolrich pair that's a little lighter for summer early fall. Love wool, it's almost all I wear ever.

Unionbay makes a pair of pants that sells at Costco. Olive, Tan and stone, water repellent is great, comfortable fit, tear resistant. Bought a pair for North idaho summer hiking and was so impressed went back and picked up another 5 pair. Wore them and my usual base layer on an October Rifle hunt high in the snow. Super impressed with them. At 19$ a pair, the marketers of anything more expensive can pound sand.  :chuckle:

x2, as stated, Attacks for cooler weather. Additionally, Sitka Ascent and First Lite Corrugate are excellent as well. All available in solids if that is a concern. Prana Zions are definitely the most friendly on the wallet especially if you find a sale.

I love the Pranas, have several pair.  I just ordered two pairs of the Wranglers and they are very similar - same material, slightly slimmer in the hips/butt than the Pranas.  If the Wranglers wear as well as the Pranas I'm probably just buying them in the future.

I have some Eddie Bower Guide pros and they're the most comfortable pants I've ever worn hiking/hunting.  I also have the wrangler outdoor pants and for the price they'll be hard to beat, I also really like that they're available in camo. I've heard nothing but good things about the pranas but have no personal experience.

Another vote for the Outdoor Research Voodoo pants. Picked up a pair last year to use as a hunting pant, but they are so damn comfortable that I wear them for work also. Lighter weight than the Prana Zion and a little cooler when the weather gets hot.

Due to comments on the EB Pro pants and a $10 rewards I had, I picked up a set during the prior sale. Spent this weekend in them and I might be liking these over my Prana's?? They do feel about a half size big, but convinced me to pick up another set at current sale. Thanks for the referrals.

I bought a couple pairs of the Wrangler cargo pants. They are 98% cotton so I wont be hunting in them, but they are some of the most comfortable pants I own. And I got them on sale for $11.99 a pair at Walmart. Fantastic work in the yard or just casual pants.

Sitting fireside in my favorite, all-around hiking, hunting, working out, year-round golfing (Wetside) Costco $17/pair pants. (Hoping 5 pairs  will last me)  I’m sure the pranas & EB’s are solid performers, but I’ve worked had to destroy these (at times) and the worse I’ve done is let a burning ember burn a hole in one of the legs....
Love these pants and I’ve seen a few potential replacements over the past year..

I’m a little late to the game but thought I’d throw this in.   I have a pair of the Eddie Bauer pants and like them.   I picked up 2 pairs of the First Ascent shorts last year and wore them in Zion, Bryce and Moab in over 100 degree temps.   Zero odor after a lot of sweating.   I assume the pants would be the same. 

Another company to look at is Duluth, especially now they’ve put stores in the NW.   I have the first rendition of their Dry on the fly cargo pants.   While durable, they don’t stretch much.   The latest dry on the fly with flexfit stretches a lot and I can see these becoming one of my outdoor activities favorites to wear.  Their flexpedition pants also stretch a lot and I compare them to the Eddie Bauer material with the DWR.   But the Duluth are not so form fitting and have a fuller seat and thigh, which I prefer.   Sale prices are the way to buy them for sure, but worth checking out.

Kuiu attack or tiburon pants

Kuiu Tiburon are flat out magic. I have 2 pairs (neither in camo) and they're so light and flexible/comfortable but the biggest draw is how fast they dry. I can jump into a river and then be dry in 5 minutes. They're incredible. The Attack are good too but quite a bit thicker and I would only wear on cold-weather hikes.

Unless it's raining, I'm wearing Arcteryx pants that I get from the thrift store or Ebay. Normall they are $200+ but, when they are $10-$50 and last a few years, it's palatable.
Title: Re: Comfortable hiking pants?
Post by: hawks33 on July 29, 2019, 11:37:33 AM
I'll 2nd the kuiu attack pants. The vent zippers that allow air to cross your hams and backside are great. They are an athletic fit, so when in doubt I'd go up a size. They're light, I stay cool, and they keep me dry unless it's a torrential downpour.
