No need to worry unless I ask you to come on a trip scrub, and I convienently forget my sleeping bag

You may need help

I can see several of you got far too distracted and excited about keeping each other warm at night lol.

. . . .but to add my 5c worth on the original purpose of ths thread - I wear the H&F fleece pants with so-called dry-bum in winter when (slower) bush-stalking. Frankly the pants are a pain because the waterproof (it isn't) fabric is INSIDE the pants - therefore your bum gets all hot n sweaty anyway. Those Swazi dry-bum look the piece . . . . .

Another thought; Cactus canvas shorts over thermals. I've worn mine 'in' nicely now (which is a must before a big trip). They're not noisy either. Brilliant!

Sitka Mountain pants... The knee pads will probably come in handy for you 2 as well by the sounds of it...

I wear only one brand of outdoor clothing - Huntech.
Shorts and thermals when its cool enough, I'm looking forward to Huntech cloting & accessories being available again now Steve has sold the business

I second that - I own an original Huntech shirt I bought about 15 years ago - and it's still my main hunting shirt. Amazing quality fabric!

+1 Best hunting pants Ive ever bought.Never cold and never too hot good summer or winter combo. 2 way zip easy to have a pee without dropping your pack belly strap. Rubber strip around top keeps yer shirt tucked in
(Could slow the potential shirt lifters down ???) Dry bum and knees not too bad to go up hill in either.

Nothing wrong with being comfortable!

I've got the Stoney Creek pants and rate them - zips on the side to vent if too hot which is good but I've gotta wear them with a belt. Dry out from wet really quick - hang em up on my flytent centre rope overnight and they're dry in the morning

Thermals underneath if it's cold.

Anyone tried those compression tights thingies? Any good?

Shorts and long johns if it really is that cold. All those fleece thing's suck dead dogs balls when they get wet.

Yep true that. Shorts and long johns are where it's at. I hate pants hooking on everything, they slow you down I reckon, ok for quick evening or morning hunts but not for multi day trips where packing light is a priority.

Long johns and shorts are were its at,no doubt about it!. Being that i spend 90% of my time in the bush i reckon its the way to go,light weight,versatile and dont restrict movement like pants do, i used to be a pants man but now i'd never wear anything but shorts and long johns.

speaking of which, Underarmour leggings,holy shit hands down the best leggings made, i've been drenched to the bone on a few occassions but they seem to keep the moisture and that "damp" cold feeling off your skin,and they feel abit padded which has saved my knees a few times when in cqb with fucking matagouri and lawyer!
