Pant color in the field, which do you choose?

I agree any of the neutral colors will work fine but if you so much as think about rolling the cuffs, you're getting bant.
Cougar, mountain lion, catamount, fla panther, puma....every type of terrain on the American continent and they only come in 1 color.....hmmmmmm
Most of my stuff is grey.....hahahahaha

Don’t forget that deer are almost color blind. It’s all about the color spectrum. They see the blue family and green family well. Gray may stick out in the field to humans but probably not to deer. Heck even hunter orange looks like gray to them. I say buy what you like, just stay away from blue

Are you planning to ever wear them hiking or around town? If so, pick what your lady friend likes best. If not, I think the coyote/brown blends in the best and hides mud and stains well (green would be next best). If you want to be a contrarian or just look "too cool," grey is great. In other words, it doesn't matter, but I'd lean toward brown personally.
And just wear orange if you're worried about looking like a deer and getting shot...

Buy once cry once. Hands down best all around hunting pants being made right now.
The FL pants depending on how you hunt may last one or two seasons tops. Read the reviews on the FL website on them. I’ve had them. They got thrashed. I went to Stone Glacier gear only now. Hence why I’m selling all my FL gear in the classifieds.
sorry OP for thead hijack, ive been leaning towards the first lite corrugate foundry for my first pair of expensive pants (walmart wrangler stretch user here) because i've heard they're warm, the knee pads intrigues me, and i'm looking for mid-later season capable pants, the cheap wranglers are great for the price point but basically pointless below 45 in my opinion.
the DWR coating etc does appeal, any chance you have direct expereince with the FL pants or others to compare with the SG's?
edit: well crud nevermind you were answering as i was asking lol

Yeah, don't impersonate an officer but green BDU pants and a green or tan shirt are not impersonating anybody. If someone Assumes you are and heads the other directing, well, that is fine. Just like I was saying about the green truck with brush guard and antennas all over it. Don't put an insignia on it but if people assume it's the warden's truck, oh well.

this season I started buying most of my new gear and clothes in coyote tan. I feel like no matter what the circumstance, that color fits everywhere.. besides maybe snow. Also, its hard as hell for me to see deer in the woods and brown seems to be the perfect color to blend in nature

Staring off into the woods in the fall....I have a hypothesis.
If you took a digital photo of the fall woods in WV and the randomized all the pixels, it would appear the color of a deer's fur.
I need to find the software to do this experiment.

Have you tried the Kuiu Attack Pant. I have several friends that swear by them.
Yes I have sir. I will explain. I would say the stone glacier pants are excellent if you are doing east coast hunting or Idaho Colorado Alaska hunting also. It’s all you need for any of those. If you know you only hunt in one state 99 percent of the time then they may not be the right choice. I wear them out in town and they don’t appear tactical or out of place at all. The material is bomb proof. I know from sliding down shale in Idaho line Clark Griswald on a sled. They have full side zips for the walk in and out. The customer service is an American on the phone in Montana every single time. The warranty is bomb proof. They have a built in belt and the zipper itself is adjustable via Velcro based on what layering system you have on or how much PBR you drank.
Yes. And these accept any knee pad in them also. You could even custom cut your own foam ones or use whatever ones you want to slip in them.
You had the actual foundry version? The website seems like its mostly rave reviews. I know they beefed up the foundry in response to prior complaints....Everything I have read is that this pant is much tougher than the old corrugates or the merino models
It looks like 93.3% of people who gave a review gave the foundry corrugates 4 stars or higher
(80% 5 stars)
Compared to 95.6% of people on the stone glaciers
(84% 5 stars)
Predator Camo !!!
Brown. Always go with brown pants. Y'know... just in case.
