This are a good, light weight bird hunting pant. I've used them in Michigan on grouse, Ohio on pheasant, and they will go to S.D. with me. I really like the weight for a full day in the field. You will feel the briars if they reach above the polyester coating, but the coating itself and the hem guard plates are great! Great moisture management. Good athletic (tighter) fit, including the articulated knees and shirt gripper lining. Perhaps a DWR finish? This is my first modern bird hunting pant, quite different from my old waxed cottons, I'm going to like this!
I have used these pants for two years pushing through briars, raspberries and alders in New England. These pants are light, comfortable and show minimal wear. As a bonus they don't absorb too much water and dry quickly which is important when you are soaked with early morning dew.
Purchased this fall and worn for three days through heavy upland cover in Minnesota Pants are very comfortable Held up well In very wet cover or nasty thorns you may want some chaps but otherwise in normal aspen cover these are very nice They wick sweat away the best of any upland pant I've worn I've hunted grouse and woodcock for 40 years
