Winter hunting pants - HELP!

[Fishwhere]

Hey there,

Please point me in the right direction for a balance between cost and quality for some winter hunting pants in the snow. They need to be waterproof, warm, breathable maybe, and be the silent material. I understand that the first reactions are kuiu etc and $400. But are there any other ones people have had good experiences with that dont break the bank?

Ideally i would like to be able to crouch or sit temporarly in the snow if needed occassionally. And my current pairs are either noisy rainproof material or get soaked or both.

Thank you!

You get what you pay for...that saying..

I find lined Dickies/Carharts bibs work just fine if not in the heavy water/rain.
But I do have waterproof gear that yes you pay much more for.

Good luck!

I have 2 pairs of Big Bills wool pants, they work well.

Hard to beat a good quality pair of ski bib pants.Some quality ones are not too noisy and you might even be able to find such in a second hand store. I have tried a great variety of products over the years and settled on the above.Be sure to get a loose fitting one so you can layer accordingly.

SKRE Canada is having a huge sale now. Check them out. I just got my Kodiak pants for a late season hunts and they are awesome. They do have a really good cold weather gear too.

Second that. They are warm and quiet.

Wool pants!! in my opinion there is absolutely nothing better. They are warm, they breath and cut wind. Like one salesman said to a friend.. with wool pants, even when you are cold and wet, you are warm and dry!!

100% Wool is the best.
