Dan's Upland Pants work well for me.

Carhartt works for me.

 

I buy regular pants that fit well and send them to Kevin's in Thomasville Ga and get briar material put on them.

 

What's this Kevin's you're talking about?

 

LL Bean light upland...2" shorter than normal, 1-2" larger in waist, worn with suspenders....it all matters as a unit.

 

I would not rule out a set of chaps. I have had a pair of Filson's for many years and they still look brand new.

 

I've got several pair of cableas (2 tradions, Dry-plus), filson chaps, cabelas chaps, carharts and my favorite for dry conditions are just the standard Cabelas.

 

Wrangler jeans with nylon cordura facing and suspenders won't break the bank.

 

I like my Wrangler brush jeans, because the jeans are softer and more comfortable.
The Cabela's pants that I have are heavy and stiff by comparison.

 

look at the Duluth double fronts

 

Beretta Thorn Resistant but it looks like they stopped making them. They now make a better one but I can’t get them in my size so I’ll be getting the Pyke Dakota’s for my next pir.

 

I really like my Orvis chaps. Light weight easy on and off. I have good things on the Pyke line but no personal experience

 

Not to hijack the thread, but what's the reason for special facing on upland pants? I hunt in the mountains and prairies of Montana, including cattail sloughs and gullies with rose bushes, and have never worn special pants. We do walk around buffaloberry bushes. My hunting partner wears blue jeans. What are we missing?

 

Multiflora rose, greenbrier, etc.?

 

The Cabela's Instinct Prairie Runner pants worn with the suspenders they come with have been great for me. Lightweight, stretchy and tough.

 

5.11 tactical series pants. I have grown to like the cargo pant as the pockets come in handy but the traditional pant style is just as tough. Mine are all from the lightweight line as I'd rather add long underwear in the winter than fry in the summer with the heavier material.

I have several pairs from when I was working and they just won't die. Maybe if I babied them trying to prolong their life things would be different but I'm trying to wear them out to make room on the shelf. Resist brambles and thorns well and dry out quickly if the get wet. Far better than any jeans or canvas and cooler when hot.

 

Dan's makes good stuff. I have the chaps

 

Lightweight, wicking nylon pants make a good windshell. Cabelas chaps on top.

 

I wore chaps over jeans for probably 25 years and then made the switch to cordura faced brush pants and will never use chaps again (unless snake proof ones).

 

Kevin’s Outdoor in Thomasville GA. They will face pants for you. I don’t buy pants just for this as jusanothajoe says he does, but I have sent old, worn out and getting-holey jeans and khakis that fit well to them and when faced, it’s a fresh start for pants I know fit well for briar proof hunting.

 

Filson chaps have been okay for me.

 

Gentlemen,

I have been using Browning Gore-Tex Grouse pants for many years, in fact I now own Gore-Tex brush pants from LL Bean, Columbia and a couple others. No more heavy chaps for me, I want something water proof and silent as I walk thru the Grouse woods. Unfortunately Browning does not make their incredible Gore-Tex Grouse pants any more. Dan
has some nice Gore-Tex Brush pants as a substitute.

all the best,

Pykegear Tongass pants, best I’ve ever worn.

 

Quote myself here, I just ordered another pair of Tongass pants because I like them so much.

 

Just received my Pyke Dakota pants and they’re damn impressive. Very well made and appear to be made of some pretty tuff stuff.

 

Do the Pyke pants have the mesh type pockets?

 

First Lite Sawbuck for sure.

Been wearing LL Bean briar pants for years. Last season I switched to the Duluth fire hose pant and they are really good. They protect great and the fit and flex (they stretch) make them super comfortable with full range of motion.
