Thread: New hunting pants

I have three sets of pants, allthough it has to be damn cold to warrant using them as I just prefer shorts, and if its cold some longjohns under shorts, as it is always the most comfortable, quick drying combination, and lets your man bits breathe better than any pants ever will.
I have Sitka mountain pants, which are a very good cut and comfortable to wear, they are built very well and will take a thrashing but I find they are slow drying if they get wet and also they can get quite hot.
Also have some of the huntech pants with the stetchy crotch bit, nice and light, dry quickly, dont heat up as much as the Sitka pants but are not built as well, no problems so far but dont expect them to last as long.
Stoney creek microtough pants, I have had these for about six years so they may be different to the newer models, maybe better as I have heard more than a few complaints about stoney creek quality lately? These pants I have given a real thrashing and wear them on the farm a lot during winter, allthough often under overalls which may go a long way towards their longevity, they dont have the stretch of the other pants but are pretty no-nonsense and have lasted really well.

I have a couple of pairs of Stoney Creek micro fleece trousers. Light, warm, quick drying and they have great zip leg vents.
The only Stoney Creek product I have ever owned that the stitching hasn't fail on.

Right then Swazi it is then unless some one here can tell me different

Not Sure there? They look noisy!

What do you actually want from the pants? Where are you going to be using them and what for?

I've got a pair of HE hydropel. I actually like the material its quiet pretty breathable relativley waterproof and windproof. The stitching and zips suck the fat one though. Threads in all directions, and the zippers jam up all the time. Probably be good pants if they were sewn by someone with opposable thumbs

1 water proof ass that is sweet proof!
2 silent fabric so they don't make a noise as you move through the under growth..
3 keeps your ass dry when glassing like 1!
4 zips that work and stitching that stays together!
5 (not essential) made of low uv material.

Recon that about covers it

Take a small square of polythene to sit on, then you just saved all that money buying shit you didn't need

and sorry , fleece and sweat proof don't really go together,

Did he specify fleece?
