Thread: Hunting pants - What do you like

On a mission to find some good all round hunting pants, not too warm and easy to move in.

what do you guys run? is there good NZ brand ones or are the US ones the way to go?

Cheers

I run the Stoney Creek Hunt Guard, love them

army surplus dpm trousers. Hard wearing but not the trendiest

yep, dpm. sure they absorb water but they dry quick and dont get too heavy when wet

Tops - Prana Stretch Zion pants, lasted over 5 years. Super breatheable and 4 way stretch. You can order to size as nothing at all "NZ Made" fits a short ass like me. Bush - Huntech/Swazi shorts and macpac leggings with HE gaiters.

the old adidas track suit pants were really great comfy dried quick after river crossings - now I wear swazi micro pants the only annoying thing is no pockets but they are great - would not recommend the swazi dri backs great in theory but in practice ya ass sweats and its like wearing a sheep of plastic round ya butt - be okay just around camp but not to walk in for any distance

KUIU Kutana Stretch Woven Pant or Stone Glaicer DE HAVILLAND LITE PANT both very comfortable. The Kuiu is more of an athlete fit whereas the SG is a wee bit more loss fitting.

Hard wearing comfy with a little bit of stretch, water resistant and not too hot.

Rugby shorts and ex army long Johns

I wear these all winter. Cheap as chips. Last OK.

I spend my working week in STONEY CREEK - MICRO TOUGH. Best hunting pants I've ever worn; strong clothe, warm but dry quickly,ordinary cuffs (ie no elastic in cuffs like track pants), thigh zippers for heat regulation (like ski pants), massive side pockets with zips which operate in reverse to a fly zipper ie down to seal, up to open, zip open for the old fella, button on waist band which also has velcro tightening and plenty of massive belt loops. Highly recommended.

The only thing missing is knee pad reinforcing for crawling in prone position.

Black shorts summer and winter and the months in between

shorts and thermals and if its really cold polarfleece pants,brand doesnt matter much and the warehouse ones actually pretty good,usually get too hot and they end up in daybag anyway by lunch time.
agree the old addidas trackies were the ducks nuts....havent found anything with fabric like them in years.

The old NZ army dpm, been used a lot since I got them 19yrs ago. They had a hard time in really tough heather for years too.

Ive always been a thermal and stubbies guy but recently got some Hunter Element Legacy trousers and LOVE them, super comfortable, stretchy and warm without being too hot. Highly recommend
