For those of you that don't wear camo pants while hunting (especially early season), what do you wear?  I looked at the Kuiu pants, but size 40 seems to be the largest they come.  Any recommendations on anything that may come in the 44 / XXL range that is reasonably light weight (for the PA fall) and quiet?

Save yourself a pile of money and go to Old Navy and buy a couple pairs of there cotton Cargos. There is usually always the solid green and sometimes other "earthy" colors.


                                                 Good Shooting,

I buy grey ripstop Wrangler cargos from the big box store online. I love them. Have been using them a few years.

This stuff ain't no rocket surgery science!

Dickies from WallyWorld are cheap and come in all kinds of sizes. They are all I wear at work. But the canvas style fabric is loud when hunting if anything brushes against it or if you happen to rub your legs together while walking.

I'd probably go the cotton cargo pant route. They are silent and give two extra pockets.

I was just looking at these today at TSC.  Both green and brown, look to be very well made pants for a good price...$26 I think.

I wear these also and they work great.  A little loud when they are new but quiet down after a few washings.  I also like the cotton cargo pants.

I am going to go with first lite Kanabs in earth.  Review seem pretty good for an all season pant.

Try Champion C9 golf pants.  Very light, quick drying, stretchy fabric, and only 20-some bucks a pair.  I wear the railroad gray ones.

Cotton cargo pants from Walmart. 15 bucks, tough, quiet, and don't care how dirty or bloody they get.

Save specialty or expensive cloths for special or expensive hunts!

The ll bean allagash pants are very nice for early season hunting. I wear them a lot. Comfortable and durable.

If you go with Carhartt, Dickies, CE Shmidt etc....I've worn this stuff for 15 years....it DOUBLES the life of it if you hang to dry. The dryer causes it to shrink up and it seems to make it wear out alot faster.

I wash all my canvass/duck style pants together in cold water. Then hang them outside to dry this time of year...when it's cold I hang them up around the wood stove. I've got a couple pairs that have made it over two years in the log woods doing them this way. Before I figured this out, six months was all I could get out of them.

I also do my coats and bibs the same way.

Plain old work grade pants make excellent field pants. You can get them in many "woods" colors such as green, brown, tan, grey, etc. To me, it makes no sense to spend big money on field pants.

Wool dress pants from a thrift store are some of my favorites.

Lightweight grey fleece pants.  I got mine at Gander Mountain on sale a few years back for about $15.  Guessing W-mart and others would have them as well.  I don't mean sweatshirt material.  The fleece I am talking about is kind of fuzzy.  Very light weight, extremely quiet and dries quickly.  Mine came with calf high zippers and draw string waist.

I have 2 different pants I wear....warmish weather, I have a pair of Moleskin pants from Schnees. Super comfortable, durable, and QUIET.

Cold weather, gray Malone pants from LL Bean.
