![]() ![]() That being said, they fit so well, I don't need them. They fit great both in the waist and inseam, but the included suspenders are worthless for my height.they simply aren't long enough. I am 6'3", 180 and usually wear a 33/36 pant, and I got the 34T to accommodate a base layer. I won't wear these without a base layer (to manage moisture) whether it's light for warm weather or heavy for cold. On the opposite end, I have done 70 degree observation sits and the material is not very breathable and sticky when you start to perspire. I have not had much cold yet, but I think a heavy base layer under this pant will carry me through low 40's/high 30's. When these are no longer usable (hopefully at least 3 years) I will go to a Carhartt denim with knee pads for durability. My first trip to the Michigan woods encountered thorned plants and it resulted in multiple snags of both the softshell pant material and in the reinforced knees. The only gripe I have is the durability rating. For that, it is perfect and I love them, flexible material never constricts movement and pockets are well placed. My local retailer recommended this pant because of the knee pads as you often rest knees against the tree during sits. Best whitetail pant I have ever owned and well worth the $$$$ and believe me I was skeptical!!įull disclosure, I am a whitetail, saddle hunter. both are great patterns - not that camo pattern really matters to be honest, as long as you are still in the tree and have good cover, anything works. Subalpine I use early fall, Open country for after leaf drop. I have both the subalpine and open country camo patterns. ![]() They do not breathe in warmer weather!! I own 2 pair, I hunt big woods and mountains in the eastern Appalachian mtns. I will admit that I don't even think about wearing these till temps get to the 60-50 deg range (average day high). You could honestly manage your base layers (add or subtract accordingly) and wear these down below 25 deg F in the wind and still be fairly comfortable. These pants are amazing on windy days which shocked me. not having to worry about where I sit or kneel without getting a cold surprise is nice! The woods, even if it's not rained for weeks, stays wet under the leaf litter or just for sitting/crossing dead fall timber. I hunt from the ground just about as much as I hunt from a tree. It's also nice that these are waterproof. It allows me to save a piece of gear during mid to late season hunts and if i need more padding, you can always double up the knee pad inside the pant. The built in knee pads and tougher material in the knee area is amazing for sitting with your knees against a tree while in your saddle. I 100% recommend these for whitetail hunters! I know these are not specific for whitetail, but that is what I use them for 99% of the time. ![]()
