It really depends on the terrain you are hunting. If you are busting a lot of brush with thorns they are nice to have on.
I hate chaps and found that for where I hunt I do not need that much protection. They are heavy and hot. But if you need them you need them.
I love my new Duluth Trading Fire Hose Briar Pants. I wear them with a pair of gaiters and stay dry.
