Microfibre pants - I used to wear shorts but found I would get scratched and Hook grass seeds. Microfribre pants weigh 260 grams were only about $25 should be able to get them in India.

Super light synthetic camo top, long sleeve and loose fit. I like the Hunters Element tops. Use this as a top layer and then layer underneath with cheep fleece. Saves having everything camo and twigs and rubbish dont cling to stretch synthetic.

As HJ writes above, down jacket and light waterproof 'fit in its own pocket' coat. A better coat might be needed on a big mission but chances are most hunting will be day trips and overnighters. I have a 'Game gear' Carry cape that is good as a coat and for carrying an animal

Thanks @Moa Hunter. not sure about Microfibre pants, maybe they are called something else here. Will find out. I do have some hiking pants (Bought from Decalathon) which are pretty lightweight. Planning to be in US before I am in NZ. Will pick up some stuff from there.

Game gear carry cape makes sense. Thanks for pointing to it.

Microfibre pants are sold as gym / sports pants but very very lightweight stretch nylon. I was so impressed with them for work and for hunting I bought six pairs. If you get the type with a zip at the ankle, they can be worn with the zip open and the leg will cover the top of the boots and keep most rubbish out

Got you, I already have few too many track suits. Will use those. I do have one not with zip but with draw strings at the ankles made by PUMA. Thanks for the tip.
