Buckmaster7600 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 For Turkey season and early deer season I need a new pair of pants. I have worn green unifirst work pants for a long time but their quality has gone down drastically in the last few pairs. The old ones wore like iron and I could get years out of them I don’t get them through work anymore and would like something that holds up a little better. My current ones dry quick, are quiet and are very comfortable. I don’t want or need camo but want to try something different. What’s everyone else wear in the woods when you don’t need any insulation? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmartinson Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Every situation is different. Ripstop is great. I go to my local army navy and see what they have. Usually durable and fairly reasonable. I also buy closeout stuff from Walmart and other department stores, most of it is quiet, some of it doesn't stand up to prickers but you can tell by the feel durability in general.

Buckmaster7600 Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share Posted March 26, 2022 SKREI haven’t tried these yet but have tried first lite “junk” kuiu “bad fit and loud” I really don’t like the athletic fit of this style of pants. I walk a-lot and am not in bad shape but I am not built like an Olympic runner. Do the SKRE’s follow the others in the athletic fit,Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unita pants are the light weight ones . I have larger then average size thighs and don't have an issue wearing them or feeling restricted. Customer service is really good if you need to send them back to try different sizes ,everything ive ordered from them comes with a prepaid shipping label. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoots100 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I've been using carhartt logger double knee pants for decades. Usually I wear a hole through the first layer of one of the knees after years of work abuse and then retire them for years of use as hunting/ farm work pant's, which is usually more abusive than my job.

Kmartinson Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 They are very durable and warm, but very heavy. Im noticeably more tired when wearing heavy clothing and footwear. That is one of the benefits of current tactical and hunting equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going a size up is the right move with them. Feels like their pants are designed for toothpick legs if you go to size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trad bow Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 My buddy let me try the Kuiu guide pants, they seem like a nice option but could rip pretty easily I felt and the camo is a big turn off but they come in solids too. They have some stretch and zip open vents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatball Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I find them locally at Tractor Supply $45. Wrangler Riggs pants, Ranger model . They have cargo pockets and a small tool pocket on the right leg. I love them. Dry pretty quick, durable and quiet. Multiple colors to choose from. I usually wear them 7 days a week. They are my employers uniform pant, but I purchased other colors for my weekends to wear. Just don't put them in the dryer. I hang them on my dining room chairs for the night to dry them after washing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a pair of camo Carhartts I use, along with a few real "hunting pants", but even those are not the silly paying for the name brands. I just can't see overthinking (and way over paying) for warm weather pants. Edited March 27, 2022 by cas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtTime Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 (edited) I just buy the pants at Walmart, either Real Tree or Mossy Oak. I'll buy a few sizes up for layering in cold weather, and regular size for not worrying abut insulation. Last year about this time, I got camo pants on clearance for $5.
