swaro06 Report post Posted November 10, 2014 Are carhartt pants good for hunting. I just finished hunting and went thru 2 pair of light weight camo pants. They tell me to buy a size bigger in the waist due to shrinkage but will last for years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couzer Report post Posted November 10, 2014 I use Carhartts on my rifle hunts, they are very durable. I tend to rip and tear all other brands. I just bought a few pairs of the carhartts overalls and love them, no more belt and sagging pants Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naturegirl Report post Posted November 10, 2014 A buddy of mine uses them in the desert and swears by them. I've worn my carhartt jackets a time or two hunting when it was cold and on horses no trees stick to the jackets so I'm assuming it's the same with the pants. Not the quietest until broke in if you are an archery hunter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMart Report post Posted November 10, 2014 The Dickies pants at Wal-Mart are very similar and cheaper. That's all I wear unless I'm bowhunting. They are a little too loud walking through brush for archery hunting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Basser15 Report post Posted November 10, 2014 Was just talking to my buddy over the weekend while hunting down south and realized that the Carhartt's I was wearing were almost 10 years old and I've had them on for all but one of the whitetails I've killed.

1uglydude Report post Posted November 10, 2014 Sportsman's Guide has "irregular" double front pants in the brown color for about $33. I have purchased three pairs, and I can't find anything "irregular" about them. They do seem a titch long, but that doesn't matter as much when you're pulling them over hunting boots.

Tunachaser Report post Posted November 10, 2014 Look into Kuhl pants. The type you want are called Ryders. I hunted in Carharts for years. Then my buddy turned me onto these pants and I'll never wear carharts in the field again. Unfortunately, they are a little pricey but 200% worth it. Crazy good range of motion in your knees, and the stitching pattern is crazy tight. You won't get too hot in them like carhartts, and they rip thru nasty stuff like cat claw even better.

Hoss50 Report post Posted November 14, 2014 I always wear carhartt. They are super durable. The original brownish color are the ones that shrink the most. The jeans and other colors don't shrink as much. The double fronts are great and you can get slip in knee pads for them which is awesome. The only thing about them is they are heavy and on warm hunts they will make you sweat more. Harley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evan T Report post Posted November 14, 2014 Carhartt pants are great and last a long time. I wear them a lot while hunting. I have one pair that's over 15 years old and still wearable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
