Did a search but didn't turn up much. Any suggestions for camo wool cargo pants?
i got some from L.L. Bean a few years back. I love them.
First Lite makes quality wool clothing but you'll pay for it. The kanab pants are good
I picked up some wooltimate pants with windblocker from cabelas recently, nice product but they are covered in burrs and seeds of every sort. Stayed warm even when wet though. Seems like there should be something better that won't act like a seed collection garment, guess it's just extra camo LOL.
Good post. I was wondering that very thing today as the wind cut through my cotton fatigues. Thanks for posting and thanks for the replies.
Google Galatin Range. They are wool and have cargo pockets. About one Benjamin.
Silent Predator but you will pay for them.
KOM or Day one - excellent wool cargo pants.
Gray Wolf, KOM, or Swanndri (if you can find them). Burrs and whatnot are not a problem with any of these three. I think KOM has the best pattern for the river bottoms I hunt but like the tighter weave of the Gray Wolf and Swanndri better.

Sporthunter- is the windshear lining noisy?
I bought a pair of gray wool cargo pants from these people. Good pants, decent prices.

Ive got the wooltimate pants and vest, the windshear material is soft. they are a little heavy and do pick up hitchhikers. But in cold weather i wear them alot and i do like them very much.
Columbia Gallatin Range wool pants are cargo style.
DayOne has the best cargo pocket in the business. In my (obviously) not so humble opinion! A double button hole affair that allows for too much stuff.
Very expensive, but as my Dad used to say; "They'll probably see you out..."
I have a pair in fleece that are 20 years+ old. Very tired now, so my next pair will be DayOne in Grey Wool.
Day One makes the best pants on the planet, IMO, regardless of the fabric. Everything you need in pair of pants they have. Their heavy fleece is every bit as good as wool but they also make a gray wool, I believe. Just got my wife a parka and pants with Deception fleece. Should be here any day. I have a few years old parka and pants with Predator Fall Brown. I should use it more as deer look right thru me when I wear it in stands that are sparse when the leaves drop.
LL bean
I have both the DayOne and the KOM, both are great. Check out the classifieds.
Silent Predator for sure, check with Bernie Parsons
Another vote for the Cabela's wooltimate. Seems to go on sale on a regular basis and it's pretty affordable when it does.
Be advised..... the Columbia Gallatin Range is super thick and warm but only on windless days ! If you have a 10MPH or more you might as well be dressed is screen door material. I am huge wool fan and love it..... Asbell, Columbia, Ullfrotte, Minus 33, Gray Wolf, Cabelas, etc. On windy days I wear my Gray Wolf or Cabelas that has a wind liner. I hunted yesterday in 35 degrees with a 10MPH wind that was mis-predicted and I got a tad cold on top with my Asbell Timber Ghost Zip up and Ullfrotte longjohns on. Wind cut thru on me.
Did I mention that the new Asbell zip up in Timber Ghost is the Cat's Pajamas !!! Love that pattern, it is INVISIBLE up a white oak tree... :archer2:
If you're cheap like me check out The Sportsman's Guide. Military surplus wool pants. I have several pairs - though I prefer bib overalls in heavier wool (especially if I try to use the cargo pockets for cargo) so they don't wind up around my knees from the material weight and gravity.
Swedish wool pants.

How about some Labonville traditional wool pants Made in the USA. Green and traditional and will last a long time.
Bemidji makes some fine wool products at a decent price.

I use Columbia Wool Cargo Pants, OD with black tiger stripes. Man do these blend in.
I have wool pants in ASAT from Day One...extremely happy with them. Like any good product not cheap but you will get years of good use from them. Any of the above quality wool pants will give you years of hard wear. Depends on your budget....also Day One is made in the USA.
Thanks gents for all the suggestions I'm really considering the Day One ASAT, a fellow tradganger has a pair in the classified my exact size.
Thanks
Cory
I've got the Cabela's Wooltimate pants and just bought some of their Cabela's Outfitter Berber Fleece Series WindShear Pants and like the fleece best. They aren't as heavy..to wear and have zippered lower legs, zipper cargo pockets and zipper right back pocket.

And me...
I found some heavy green wool military pants at a flea market. Tightly woven wool. Just gotta wait for below freezing weather to use them. They are thick!! Only a couple of moth holes... :rolleyes:
Charlie ( Stumpkiller ) It's funny how geniuses think alike, I have one pair of wool surplus military wool pants from the Guide also, and they are great, and so was the price.
I bought several pair a few years ago when they had them. Haven't seen the Swedish wool pants lately. Bought some Romanian, or near there, surplus pants. Sizing was way off, had to return them.
x2 on the old/new stock foreign military wool. I picked up 3 pair for $9.00 from sportsmans guide or some such site years ago and they are great. Heavy weigh, quality made and have big cargo pockets but NO rear pockets. I prefer this for long sits with no butt bulk. They have sewn in metal suspender buttons too. Only came in grey instead of some new fangled camo pattern but the deer never complain.
I really like the wooltimate , they laugh at the wind :biglaugh:
I have the fleece with windshear. They are light weight and quiet. I have been in some cold windy weather and stayed toasty warm with expedition weight thermals and the fleece.
This talk got me the itch to buy one more pair.
Will post up a pic when they arrive.
Less than $20 shipped...can't beat that, but, like mnetioned, hope the sizing is good....Eurpopeans are on average a bit thinner than us Americans :(
Do you guys ever have a problem with the wind shear being noisy?
I won't buy anything with wind shear after my experience with Cabelas fleece bibs with wind shear . If you moved on a cold morning you crackled . Is that a word :)

X2 on everything SportHunter said, including the burrs. Oh, well, it gives me something to do while waiting for the deer to show up. Lately, I've done more burr picking than I'd like...dang deer! :banghead:
X3 what Charlie suggested, I bought 4 or 5 (?) for $20 :readit:
Cabela's has some on sale with cargo pockets for $69.95 plus shipping I believe!

Sporthunter- is the windshear lining noisy? [/b]
I don't notice much noise with these pants. I have a berber windshear pull over that is LOUD also from cabelas, no clue why there was such a difference. I wouldnt buy the pants again due to the burr collection problem, it is a pain to deal with. The outfitter pattern works well though, the berber doesnt collect that many burrs where as the wooltimate is like a burr magnet.
I have the Cabelas jacket with Wind Shear lining. I don't think it is noisy. Can you hear it if you really try? Yes, but barely and only if your ear is by it...
