So Gents, I figured I would share something I've been doing that has been very comfortable and gets 2 birds stoned at the same time. (kills 2 birds with one stone lol)
I have a couple pairs of tactical pants i was issued that are awesome for saddle hunting IMO. They have knee remove-able knee pads and very comfortable. (brands are Crye Precision and Patagonia). Im gonna share some info and share some pics. I think some of you guys would really like these.
Pros:
- Various size adjustments for comfort; waist, multiple down leg (i like to tighten so you don't get the swish sound when the fabric rubs) and ankle.
- Included knee pads that are very comfortable and removable (Crye Precision pants and Crye knock-offs have adjuster in small thigh pocket to adjust elevation of knee pad for perfect fit) Works great for one stick climbing with the knee pads always there. And you don’t get that around the knee constricted feeling with knee pads that wrap around the leg.
- A ton of pockets
- Both have stretch fabric in all the right places if ya know what I'm saying
Cons:
- Legit brands like Crye and Patagonias (not available for purchase unless second hand) are very expensive $250-275, that being said there are a ton of knock offs that are priced cheaper than most hunting pants and have all the same features. I bought some to test and destroy during deployments, they held up just like the real deal. Could tell the material and stitching wasn’t as good but not $200 worse.
- Camo Patterns, limited to military camo patterns but IMO multicam is a great pattern that actually blends in
- Velcro, yes its noises and all the pockets have it but you can easily remove and replace with buttons
So there really isn’t any cons unless you can’t get pass the camo patter but I hope some of you enjoyed and find some awesome pants!
