Warm Pants??

[cahaba]

I have had great luck with Cabelas Legacy Fleece with Wind Sheer with expedition weight thermals. The Wind Shear works great. It stops any wind from getting to you and seems to retain just the right amount of heat but still breaths.

[eflanders]

Are you sitting or stalking?  That question really needs to be answered first.  If sitting, you are more concerned with heat retention and wind blocking properties.  If stalking, it's more about wicking, breathability and the retention of warmth when wet.  Wool is great for stalking but can be a bit heavy.  But wool is not as good when sitting as the wind can go through it if you don't have some sort of wind barrier.  Also note that certain wind barrier clothing do not breath very good when stalking.

double up on your thermals.

Insulated wranglers work for me. Come in dark brown, tough exterior like carhart, but about half the price. I order mine on amazon.

I guess I'm just Lucky, Lmao!!!

I work outside, all year long, in all types of weather. I never wear much more than a pair of blue jeans...

As for "hunting pants"... I have a couple pair of "Camo Jeans" that I wear,(not really for the "camo" more to keep me from wearing my "good" jeans hunting!) and I also have a pair of "thinsulate" insulated jeans. Usualy my son wears the insulated jeans when it gets REALLY cold!!!

However... That said, When it gets REALLY cold & snowy..... I break out the wool!!!!! I have a few pair of old green Johnson's Wool pants that I have been wearing for years. I just put the pants on & head out in the snow...

Never did like "longjohns"... Kinda like wearing 2 pair of underwear!!!  :rolleyes:

I use fleece with windstopper that I got from the classifieds......but I also like wool. I have wool pants that I have had for 25-30 years.....just tough to beat wool.

You certainly can't go wrong with wool, but I picked up a pair of fleece wader pants to use as an insulator, and they work great. When the temps don't demand wool, the wader pants under regular camo are the answer for me. They roll up nice and small in a pack and are lightweight to carry. I put them on under my light camo once I arrive at the stand site.

I use wool and the Cabelas insulated Microtex, depending on the conditions.  Havent had a chance to try out the microtex in sub-zero conditions yet but it sure is comfortable.

I dont know about the rest of y'all, but Army Surplus ANYTHING is pretty scarce in My Neck of the Woods! We used to have a Great Store in Lafayette Indiana, just about 30 miles north of me, but I do believe it has gone by the wayside. Anyone in Midwestern Indiana have any Good Places to recommend?  I sure would appreciate it! I know you can buy off the 'Net, but if I can buy closer to home makes the Purchase a bit safer for me, somewhere that I just might be able to Try them On First would be the Best!! Some folks idea of Medium, is Childs Medium or Amazon Medium, know what I mean??   :rolleyes:

I wear a grey pair of wool pants made by Woolrich. Very warm.

Before it is "wool cold"...just chilly.....moleskin pants work great. I have some from Schnees. with a pair of longjohns they are good into the thirties.

[Sam McMichael]

Wool is very good, and you can get it in various weights of cloth for changing temperatures. This is true for both outer clothes and long johns. Another very useful item in moderate cold is silk underwear like in the ski catalogs.

Yellow Dog said it best."Cabelas Legacy Wool" pants

[WESTBROOK]

Cabelas has some decent stuff but what irritates me is they have forgotten that their are people with an inseam longer that 32". All their wool pants are one length...32.  :mad:

I have several pair of army surplus wool pants. I had to watch several sights for quite a while and when my size popped up I would buy them. They were only about 25 bucks a pair. They are very warm and tough. I like them. Gary

I like the cabelas wooltimate pants and I also like my columbia wool bibs. Columbia wool runs big just a heads up. The wooltimate goes on sale occasionsly that's when I bought mine.

Love mine

[Vesty]

Woolrich Malone wool pants. Amazing.

[Stykbowslim]

As other have stated, wool is great cold weather gear. If you want something that's a little more wind resistance, check out the Sitka Stratus pants - outstanding!!

[Jock Whisky]

If you are stationary such as in a stand I find that a fleece or wool blanket worn kilt style once you are in the stand can help.
And as everyone else said...wool. Nothing else comes close.

[SportHunter]

Has anyone had a chance to compare Cabelas windstopper  wooltimate and windstopper fleece pants? Any clear winner between the two? On the edge of ordering and dont have a local cabelas for hands on inspection.  Using them for stalking and stand hunting.
