Gear Men's Timberline Pant

Took me 42 years to find the best hunting pants for me. So, naturally, I bought 3 pairs of Sitka Timberline pants in OPTF OC pattern. Review time. I’m 52 years old. 5’9” overweight at 219lbs and a 38” waist. A long time ago I was an excellent athlete, so, my body still has a physical shape if you look at it in just the right light. But my mind believes I can still tear my way up and down the pacific coast range canyons and timber hunting deer and elk. Afterwards, my body tells my mind “It’s Crazy”...For over 30 years I have worn with religion many pairs of drape green M65 military field pants and I loved them. The M65’s were tough pants that had several handy pockets, but being made of a thick, heavy cotton didn’t allow for a lot of versatile flexibility when I was at times crawling over or under downed trees or through thick brush having to lift my boots up high with each step to clear them out of choke vines and ferns. Sitka came to my attention from a Sitka vest purchase I made at a store for a gift for my wife. A Sitka vest isn’t a small investment. It cost real money. The wife loved the vest and I became intrigued by the material. So, I started reading up on the Sitka big game line and went all in on a pair of the above mentioned pants. When I got them I was skeptical for sure, being lighter then my M65 pants I was sure I would destroy them hunting. Putting them on I felt like I was wearing a pair of my comfortable sweat pants minus the cotton feel. Oh, well, I would give them a try. Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Just getting into my truck I had move movement capability and after 12 hours of hunting I had never felt better or less tired because I wasn’t constantly fighting the resistance of my M65 pants all day. The knee pads and seat waterproofing were a bonus too and was happy to have it. I hunted 8 days straight in them until I filled my deer tag. Then I sat down and ordered 2 more pairs so I can rotate them into service during elk season. I was hunting in conditions that ranged from 34 degrees with rain, wind and snow to 60 degrees and sun during those 8 days and I wore just a pair of Merino long Johns under the Sitka pants. Pants were wind proof in 40 MPH gusts and shedded most of the rain. I did get damp in them during heavy rain but that’s my bad for not putting my Gore-Tex rain pants on. These pants hunt. And they hunt hard. Oh, the suspenders the pants come with really help too. Great job Sitka! You made a pair of hunting pants that makes a middle age guy feel younger by hunting longer with less fatigue. MLP

Kentucky's 2019 Spring Turkey season was much colder than previous seasons. My light weight Turkey hunting pants were simply not heavy enough to provide the much needed insulation that I needed. I opted to wear these pants even though they did not blend in with the Kentucky's early spring foliage. It turned out to be a good decision especially when stalking Turkeys. The built in knee pads and heavy duty seat of the pant were essential to a successful stalk . I found it much easier and stealthier to just kneel to my knees without having to reach around and get my seat pad off the back of my pack. I could pause comfortably on my knees for 20 to 30 minutes at a time while chasing that Tom. Great product SITKA !!! Maybe you should consider adding early spring foliage colors for this pant and I will buy the first pair that you make.... Thanks again!

Best pair of pants that Sitka sells! You will not be disappointed. I love the suspenders because I always hike with a backpack. These pants are just so comfortable.

Best pants ever buy them from blackovis for 50% off tho. I own 4 pairs and love them

These were great for my trip to Colorado elk hunting. They fit great, they were actually long enough and I had room to layer. They flex great and you have plenty of ball room to reach a leg up over a down tree without worrying about ripping the crotch out. The knee pads seemed awkward at first but once you have had to crawl around in sage brush dodging cactus you will really begin to appreciate them. They also allowed me to be a bit quieter. As for warmth, plan on layering, these block the wind and trap heat but they are not insulated. The suspenders were very comfortable as well.

Sitka Gear makes top-quality products. The gear is quite expensive, but it is hard to put a price value on clothing that keeps you warm, dry, and comfortable under less than ideal conditions. I wear Sitka Gear almost exclusively when I am out hunting. Colors do not fade when washing. Clothing holds up reasonably well when walking through briars and other vegetation that tend to unravel clothes. Camo patterns blend in pretty good with surroundings. I bowhunt exclusively and the clothing is reasonably quiet. I'm going on a pig hunt in Texas in a few weeks and can't wait to try out these new pants, especially the built-in knee pads. You can get your best prices by waiting for clearance sales at the end of the year when most clothing is discounted by about 30%.

Very good quality and utility. Hunters designed this forn other hunters.

Needed 36 regular instead of 35 I have hunted for 50 years and the right pants in cold and wet weather has always been an issue These are the very best pants I have everybworn in the woods. Right fit no noise no wet seat and no wind blows through them

Pas encore utilisé par temps froid. Ce pantalon est beaucoup plus mince que ce que à quoi je m'attendais.
