I’ve had these pants for a while now, and they’ve become my go-to for hunting and most of my outdoor days in Alberta. They work perfectly with my layering system and handle a wide range of conditions.
The only improvement I’d love to see is an alternate version with targeted waterproofing—something durable on the knees, the seat, and about 12” up from the cuffs. A waxed canvas panel or soft-shell reinforcement would make them the perfect middle ground between these and a full waterproof shell. It’d be especially useful for stand hunters who spend long hours sitting or kneeling in damp terrain.
