Thread: Hunters element hydrapel trousers

Hunters element hydrapel trousers, does anyone have these? I'm thinking about getting some. Thoughts or recommendations?

After 3 hunters element top of the line jackets leaking I wouldn't touch their stuff again.

I quit after 1

Yes - all this "modern stuff" is all hype and glossy photos
What peeves me off most - is they state its "breathable" can anyone - give me an example of a waterproof garment that also dosent turn into a sauna with activeness ??
I have a Swazi Wapiti coat (had it 15 years now) its pretty good - but you still wind the Temp dial up and end up wet from sweat.
I cant hunt in it - good on bike or boat

Kuiu. Chugach.
Waterproof and very very breathable.

Don't waste your money on hunters element,tryed most of there gear and it's crap.

Ok so no good, recommendations on a pair lightweight all weather pants?

havent had an issue with my HE jacket or trousers. been out in the wet many times with no problems

Online basically.
Makes sizing a challenge for a lot of people. Most common is a tighter fit than expected. Some of that comes down to being a layering system though I think and therefore a tight fit over baggy to enable all those layers

Don't touch Hunters Element, stick to quality. Kuiu, Swazi and some Stoney Creek jackets.

Only online purchases, that is part of the model, cuts out the middleman.
