    Hunting pants

    Been using the Stoney Creek fast hunt pants for a few years and like them on a whole but their sizing is up to fucks. I'm not a tiny bloke (5'11" 75kgs) but the Smalls seems like it was made for a much rounder gentleman.

    Wondering what pants guys are wearing.

    No I don't want shorts and long John's.

    Cheers

    My Hunters Element Spur Pants were the most comfortable hunting pant I had worn until I got my pair of Kuiu Attack Pants. Both are awesome for comfort and mobility but for me the attack pants just have the edge. I’m tall and lean, almost 6 foot 2 and 84kg.

    Heard quite a few recommendations for these. May have to hold out for a sale to try them though.

    +1 for kuiu attack pants haven't used anything else for a few years (unless I have snuck off hunting wearing day to day or work clothes)

    Brought second hand off here when someone imported some that didn't fit

    The sets that look most like what Id want don't seem to have any smaller sizes. I'm not one for tonnes of pockets just you standard pockets and the rest clean. Probably the 80 cm waist model.

    I can get all sizes
    Not only that - most models come in different leg sizes
    eg
    Someone 6'2' but a thoroughbred build
    34" waist 36 or 38" inner leg

    I can get any size to order
    I was not going to order every size and find no one wants then
    So not problem
    About 2 - 3 weeks for something I not already have in stock
    Have a lot of sizes arriving hope next few days

    Different fabrics in diff models
    Most is the 4-way stretch exact same cloth/fabric as KUIU use in some of theirs

    But all diff grades for diff seasons etc
    Plenty of detail on each item in site
    Also make sure you look at the Vids
    Especially the one with the spring waist/belt system
    Its magic

    Some are water repellent as a member showed me that I not knew

    But the best part is the cut for "men"
    Look at the design panels etc
    The ankle cuff tightening flap is excellent too - and the knee designed correct - means you have no pull on it even when kneeling

    Living in mine
    Building work mostly last few weeks

    Yes but are they made for the shall we say "larger chaps" among us or is their sizing like the chinese / european sizing. For example I am a XXL in US sizing with room to spare but 5XL for the company clothing which is sourced from China. I cant actually wear any of the company clothing as none of it fits properly it seems when the Chinese scale up their sizing its just not quite there

    Thought you knew me better Mikee
    Mine are made in Ukraine - nothing on my site is from that other place for the exact reasons you state

    I will guarantee you - if mine do not fit any person - no others will

    Wearing Montane Pants.
    Had to return and get another size.
    Reckon sizing is all up to buggery at times.
    Mind you reckon at some stage you hit that sweet spot where clothing fits.
    When you transition from skinny young fella to "fat" older bloke.

    I had a set of montanes but the least waist was so aggressive my size it made me feel crook after awhile. Other than that they were great. To put it another way my 50kg slim partner now where's them and while they are a bit baggy they aren't trying to cleave her in half.

    Enjoying my Hunters Element Spur Pants. They have been my lockdown pants of choice so far. Really comfortable, but I do find the adjust-ability (or lack thereof) of the waist a bit annoying (Large is too tight, XL is too big), so they require a belt. I'd be looking for some pants that have some internal waist adjustments if possible.
