I need some for rabbit hunting and tracking deer in the southeast thickets.
What is the recommended fabric - nylon faced, waxed canvas, etc?

Mil-surp Gore-Tex.
I like the old, pre-digital, British and French, Gore-Tex camo gear if moving as quietly as possible through cover it not an important consideration.
If you look at the British camo gear, they made "wind-proof" gear that looks a lot like their Gore-Tex gear, but isn't. The "wind-proof" gear uses large buttons to secure the pockets, while the Gore-Tex gear uses Velcro.

Growing up we all looked as if we had tried to fornicate with a bobcat in a phone booth after a few hunts. The older guys stood around the edges for a reason!
TA, I saw that pic you put up of your rabbit running crew, that brought back some great memories.
Seems like the old pants had a couple extra layers of thick canvas on the front?

The pants I had when was a young buck had vinyl on them - they would crack after a couple of seasons, but they were the best! I can't find any like that anymore.

A good pair of brush pants is an absolute requirement for driving deer and bear where I hunt.
I'm not brand loyal. When I need a new pair I go to grices and try some on.
Small Game, Deer, Turkey, Bear, Elk....It's what's for dinner.
If you know how many guns you own... you don't own enough.

dave Link, please? Or is this a joke? Never had Cooldry, but when I had to get into big Himalayan blackberry thickets, I put on old Grunden bibs. The heavy duty ones, Hercules I believe they are called. Heavy, and you’ll sweat, but your hide stays mostly intact. Lol. https://www.go2marine.com/grundens-...YkNjuggMVBQaHAx0b3AhVEAQYASABEgKZx_D_BwE

A buddy had a set of filson chaps he had picked up stupid cheap. Those things seemed pretty bomb proof.
