    leggings

    Where's the best place to get some leggings to ware under my shorts while hunting? I've got some of the compression type leggings but they seem to compress things I don't really want compressed (if you know what I mean ha ha)

    I just go for whats good value. Pollyprop. MacPac or Katmandu. They get torn eventually anyway. They come in different weights so you can vary them to the season.

    Hunting and fishing have some leggings, made of a resonably strong feeling material which I don't think will rip as easily as your standard polyprops or merino leggings

    +1 have used those HnF ones for ages and they last very well. Bonus is you can get them cheap on sale too.

    The swazi ones are fantastic. On my second pair now after 10 years on the first. I wear them under waders when duck hunting and under shorts for everything else.

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    Yes, but - You cant wear merino leggings. They explode way too easily.

    Merino for every other base layer but not leggings or id be buying a new pair every trip
