Filson double tin chaps for me. Where I hunt there is a ton of wild rose and blackberries, won't go with out the chaps now. I wear lightweight pants underneath to deal with them being warm.
As far as the smell is concerned, personally, I like it. But no, there isn't anything you can do about it, it's what waxed cotton smells like.
Filson Double Tins get my vote, too, for the same reasons.
