Right I'm someone that gets something that works and don't change it until it's f**ked.
I hunt in the Winter weight polyprop longjohns and shorts but they don't make them anymore. And the light ones get holes in them on the first hunt (useless)
My question is what sort of pants do you guys hunt in?
And why?
Ross have you tried the Stoney creek microtough trousers (Like Ally and I wear) they cool as the fabric is thin and has side vents then in the winter if you are prone to cold or sitting for long periods i wear logjohns underneath. They are available in camo or green.
I would loan you mine , but you might catch something from them. :P
Mighty fine offer Martin:pacman:
Thats what Glen uses, I am leaning that way will see what others use.
Yip - they are awesome.Quote:

I would add that I prefer the green to the camo. Camo is a laminated fabric (they laminate the camo pattern on) and feels cold on the inside. Green feels warm on the inside and breaths better. Have a look at some in the shop and it will make sense.
How do you guys find them for drying?
One spot I should hunt more often has a lot of river crossings.
I think the water runs out of them pretty well
Certainly not a sponge
I have 3 prs of the same - awesome bits of kit.
Cheers might of found the answer now:thumbsup:Quote:

Righty ho, bought some Micro Tough Pants and as others have said they are bloody good.. Thanks Guys
I have 2prs of green ones and they are pretty good. Stoney will repair them for any holes even from a bullet (??) - I've torn the arse on mine from barb wire and they repaired them free.
My mate has the camo ones and I notice that the camo doesn't hold hook grass or mud stains like the plain green ones. I think I might change to the camo next time.
Summer is huntech shorts. Winter is either huntech shorts and poly or huntech pants. Both really good
I find the green ones take longer to dry and also hook grass sticks to them more - they are also harder to clean, where the camo ones clean easier and they don't hold hook grassQuote:

Ridge Line Air mesh pants - $55 from that mad mikes store in taupo - summer winter these are brilliant - light dry fast roomy - keep the stinging nettle away and surprising tuff - good value for money
I just hunt in longjohns and stubbies. All together cheap as chips, with good mobility, quiet as, and surprisingly temperate. Had them winter in the Kaimanawas and just about any time of the year are good temp apart from peak summer in the middle of the day. Easy to pull up to cross rivers too. The only pants option in my price-range are fleece and I find them too baggy and they get too hot.Quote:
