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.

I like the Filson chaps to save wear and tear on my pricey waders when moose hunting... I wear them a lot bird hunting.
I have some Columbia brush pants... double layer of cordura on the front, jeans elsewhere. They are great for normal brush, but no good on serious thorns.
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

I keep threatening to get a pair. Less for briars and brush than for keeping somewhat dry.
Whatever you do, don’t stop at the Filson store in Seattle. It moved up the block and is now a hipster boutique shop. If you mention hunting, some d bag with a $100 hair cut and wax in his mustache may start crying. It is seriously fugged.

Owned a pair for the last 13 years. Would not hunt without them. great for Warm weather. When is gets cooler I go with the single tin pants. I also use the Filson coat, bird vest, and suspenders, great stuff that get better with age.
The prices they are asking for this stuff retail today is outrages, check ebay for the good buys. Just got back from 2 days of pheasant hunting at Pelee Island Canada. Half of our group had all Filson gear. If you are a serious bird
hunter you got to check this stuff out! They have great customer service, a few years ago my buddy's young dog chewed the sleeve off my Filson hunting Coat, they replaced the whole sleeve for $50, they are a great company.
I want to keep my dollars in this country when I buy my hunting gear. However, for pheasant hunting Pelee Island is the real deal.

SD you wear the chaps over your waders?
