    I got the stoney creek fast hunt pants for that exact reason. Legs getting torn up walking overgrown tracks.

    They are really light and comfy just don’t expect them to last. If you treat them as expendable then they might be a good option.

    I’m back to using stubbies now unless I need the sun protection for summer trips on the tops.

    I reckon that for most hunting (maybe not multiple nights in tahr country etc) just look at what the local backcountry cockies are wearing. They're in those conditions every day. I mostly hunt lowland bush so am pretty much garbed in typical farming clothes

    Kuiu Tiburon is good. The long sleeve shirt and pants with a boonie hat are my go-to gear for summer

    I’m a bit late this the party here but thought it worth throwing in my 2c.

    I have been using the stoney creek fast hunt pants for the last two years and am really impressed. I am hard on my gear and these have held up really well to snags, bush lawyer etc. in the kaimais, pureoras and kaimanawas. They are a light rip stop fabric with vents in each leg, they breathe well. They are not water resistant but do dry quick. I’ll be replacing them with the same if I ever manage to wear them out.

    Anything that needs a belt is a problem for me as the buckle sits right under the hipbelt of my packs, I much prefer something with a drawstring but so much harder to find. Pants don't stay up without help for people my size.

    As a certified pasty, white, ginger who has a minor disagreement with the sun about its intensity and, lets be honest, existence.
    I wear this top on days out in the open: https://www.hunterselement.co.nz/col...vantage-hoodie

    Wait for a sale though you should be able to get it around 40% off.
    It's warmer than just a standard light long sleeve but the extra sun protection is worth it.

    I can't believe people wear pants in summer. Are you guys vampires? I don't even wear them in winter! Hell, I even got married in shorts lol

    I like having skin on my legs,…wearing shorts where I hunt would negate that..
