I often hunt in macpac marino leggings under shorts but they are all looking like fishnet stockings with all the holes and shit.
At $60 odd bucks a pop I'm after a more durable solution. I cant stand the smell polyprop gets either so not keen on something that will stink after one decent walk.
What are others using? Not wanting to pay more than $60-$70
I got some merino long johns from the warehouse, seem to be holding up ok. Your other option is a pair of light trousers. My friend uses the underarmour base 2.0 leggings. They are holding up well but will be dearer, might work out cheaper in the long run though.
Underamour bro kicks ass
Send me a link Shano please :thumbsup:
Well I aint going to those guys so will find elsewhere :D
With legs like yours, hasn’t mum got something that will fit?
I have used both the macpac and the base leggings, the base is by far better, only issue is that if you somehow rip them when fairly new its a bit of a sore point due to the cost.
At least they still get up hills old timer :PQuote:

postie plus...nato green under $20 what more can a fella ask...... they last as well as the $80 pairs and you dont cry when bush lawyer gets stuck into them.
Bushlawyer is the least if my worries, its the barbed wire and dog teeth that rip them up :DQuote:

Stick to Merino @Gibo. Those underarmour 2.0 are good but not as light or warm.
Merino is easy to repair with a sewing kit out bush too!
Stop hopping the fence then ;)Quote:

Underarmour ColdGear & Heat Gear are good, I used both as well as icebreaker merino longs.
I always wear pants all year round though, never shorts.
If you can find some try the bamboo fibre ones. Naturally anti-microbial/bacterial and just scrub in a creek and dry to "wash". My ones are Ridgeline I think and wasn't too painful $$$wise for a pack of top and trou. Probably quite a few making them though. Not as warm as Merino but I can't see much in it.
Whats wrong with pants?
At least then you get pockets.
Finally! Someone else that wears trousers and doesn't run around the bush looking like a demented grandad with shorts over holey long johns.Quote:

Check out Firstlite corrugate, Sitka mountain pant, kuiu tiburon
Got some Kuiu pants, they are good but I still like to have options
You just like rocking the long john look with your spider legs Gibo.Quote:
