Thread: Pants

Was thinking of going into Westland to try and tip over one of the mountain goats you fellas have down there but being a more temperate weather hunter I really don't have too many clues with the alpine stuff especially what clothing I'm going to need. I guess gloves and a puffer jacket as well as a good beanie/hat will be a good start but I never have hunted in trousers. I hate getting cold so what do you gents suggest as good trousers or general leg coverings for the colder alpine conditions? I have a pretty good covering of fur but that just doesn't have the insulation factor I had hoped for. Most of the time Im trying to keep cool hunting the general Hawkes Bay area not warm!
I tried some of the new Stoney Creek Landsborough pants and they looked awesome except the fit was crap. The crotch hung down so low I figure it was modeled on a bull elephants crotch and could double if I wanted to do some crumping down in Flaxmere.

Depends what you like hunting in to mate, i still go thermals an shorts all year around, nice in winter hot in summer but biddy bids an hook grass is fucking shit!!!!

...............dont forget the chastity belt your going with dave after all...................

I go shorts or polar fleece pants.
I bloody hate long johns but will put em on under pants if really cold.
There is better out than polar fleece pants but i don't own any.
Polar fleece pants biggest down fall is weight when wet keeps pulling them down.
Shorts are great put more layers on top but Spaniards can be a prick

Fuck I almost forgot about those bastard things

Lol look at wee james.... scared of abit of cold... thinks hes goin to antarctica or summin lol.... ull take all that fancy gear but ull end up in shorts an thermals lol

Shorts and thermals is all ya need for the hill James. Definitely get some warm, camp pants and footwear. It is a must if we are under snow again. Ill try and find a pic from 2 yrs ago and send it to you. At least 3 foot of snow around camp the whole week. Ya dont think we are going to take you where we have too chase you down in dry conditions?

Dont worry mate if ya get cold, we have a few activities to keep you warm

I'll just keep eating and put on a bit more blubber. Been doing well recently.

Never under estimate the amount or lightness of the gear James carries round. He has a gadget or can opener for every event (or type of can). He needs to go light to offest the weight of that goddamn fishing weight of a Blaser rifle he insists is top class.

Could have been a shotgun last Sunday You didn't want those back steaks anyway did ya. Good thing they tasted like cardboard

Yes, it will be a decent advertisment for Blaser on that trip with everyone on it, having the pleasure of owning one. 3 different cals as well.

Was going to bring the 243
