Currently I am in the market for a new set of outdoor/hiking pants. Recently I was watching a video of Xander, and saw he was wearing pic rel.
Does anybody recognize the brand/type? Do you have any particular pant recommendations/experiences?
Although expensive, I saw the Fjallraven Keg/Vidda pro recommended a lot.
I wish he wasn't wearing pants at all.
Same. He could harvest my hardwood after that, if you catch my drift.
Blue jeans
Unironically blue jeans, but the problem with blue jeans is you gotta get a really good rugged pair, AND you gotta break them in which takes a while to do.
blue jeans and cotton cargo pants suck. once they get wet they stay wet and cold. and they don't have enough pockets. Either wool or nylon based is the best option, depending on the conditions you'll be wearing them in.
>nylon
SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH
Yeah it's really noisy and annoying so don't wear nylon if you're going hunting or trying to be stealthy.
They turn into stealth pants once you break them in. You guys have just never done that.
No they don't. I've been wearing my pair for 2 years and they're just as loud as when I first bought them.
>t. wears pants choked with sweat and oil because he never washes them
they are not outdoor pants if they don't have salt stains and blood smell.
I doubt you have 200 miles on them.
200 miles of what? Canoeing? Probably more than that.
the tool with the highest offensive capability available to me is a bear bell with silencer

wearing a loud pair of swishers instead, allows me to save on weight and bulk
>bear bell
I'll buy it, you put it on.
Man no diss I'm sure you guys rock your blue jeans
But I do NOT get why anyone would prefer them over any other type of outdoors pants. Like if you're just around the house sure, but hiking in blues jeans fricking sucks compared to synthetics. Don't get me started if theres any kind of precipitation or snow.
Go to your sporting goods store and buy a pair that fits. Jesus frick it's a bunch of cheap polyester fabric sewn together in a Chinese or Indonesian sweatshop and you gays are acting like ones with a specific logo will let you survive a nuclear blast while others will kill you if you if it rains.
Just don’t do what I did..
>gabardine, so should be water resistant
>looks like they’ll fit, right waist and inseam
>clearance at Marshall’s for $15? Giddy up
>buy without trying on
>tight as FRICK on my calves
>no fly
A pair of hiking pants that don’t accommodate muscular calves and require disrobing to take a piss are not hiking pants. Labeling and aesthetics aside.

Thanks anon, I appreciate it. Never heard of this brand, probably because it seems heavily hunter focused.
Still they have some interesting stuff.

Personally I have found blue jeans to be uncomfortable for longer hikes, get heavy when wet, and wear through pretty quickly at the crotch.
But that might be because of my massive dong.
I don't care much about noise to be honest.
It doesnt make that much of a difference, true.
However, I have disposable income, and I like hiking, so I dont mind paying a bit extra for a nice pair of pants if it means I can wear them for a while without caring about whether they will rip.
I have found the same for many cheaper outdoor pants. My calves arent even excessively muscular yet many pants are already hard to put on/take off.
At least it was just 15$ in your case!
I wear either these or jeans. Light, comfortable 60/40 cotton/polly. Bought an extra pair to wear at work.
