Home Forums Birds & Dogs Upland Game brush buster pants reccomendations.

Tagging this for reading at a later date.

I got through a great pheasant hunt with the cordura chaps over light pants as it was hot as hell.......looked through all the big box stores in SD and found nothing that I cared for.

We got our limits without a lot of brush busting.

Thanks all!

I have tried the LL Bean technical upland pants and returned them. The fabric they are made of is rubbery and sticks to my long underwear. I prefer Bean's light upland pants for early season and their heavier upland pants for when it is cold or the brush is especially thick. It that's not enough, I don't go in the brush - let the dog do the work. I also have Gore-tex chaps - I think also by Bean, which are good when it is very wet. I haven't used Filson or Carhart, but I'm sure they are excellent. I just don't need them. Regarding new materials, I doubt that anything beats Tin Cloth.

Nothing protects better than Mule Hunting clothes against the nasty stuff. Rabbit hunters who bust through the briars here swear by them. Come in chaps or pants. Pants can get hot in warmer weather. They are lightweight too.

I used the LL bean Tech Upland pants with Goretex this past season and love them. These are probably the best pants I have used for thick cover so far.

I have the wrangler pro's, a pair of browning upland pants and the latest is the Cabela's extreme upland pant.

The Cabelas pant is fleece lined, so it can be warm early in the year, but otherwise it is great.

I have been using them for all my hunting the past 3 years, deer, elk, and a ton of chukar miles.

Excellent water resistance, my brownings and my wranglers would get so heavy when they got wet it was the main reason I turned to these, which while not totally waterproof, they seem to resist becoming logged.

Cabelas Extreme Upland

Another vote for the Wranglers but dont buy the brown ones, they are made of lighter material then the blue denim ones. Go with the blue denims, they're tougher. I bought two pairs a few years ago, one in brown and the other in the blue denim and I could tell right away that the brown ones were made of lighter material. I cant vouch for the other colors available but if I was guessing I'd say they are of the same weight as the brown ones. Go blue!

I have 1 pr of Cabelas extreme and 1 pr of LL Bean with the tick cuff.

Both are awesome and both companies fully back their product even if you rip em yourself!

Anyone look at Jack's Hunting Clothes

Has anyone used the heavy duty chaps? I have a pair of Rattler chaps that are extremely good in blocking briars, thorns and the wind. It allows me to wear comfortable pants and still keeps me from getting all scarred up during a hunt. Has zippers on the outside of each leg for easy on/off with boots and a two button snap over the belt to accommodate different height shooters.
