These are my favorite pants and I have almost every style of Sitka britches. Please bring back a brown or green color though I need more !!!!

Offer a Ranger green or bring back moss color in the timberlines

I bought these pants for a 3rd season mule deer in Colorado this year. As will all my Sitka gear, they did not disappoint. Very well made, durable and fit well. I like the suspenders in lieu of a belt as it is very comfortable while wearing a pack. The zip up or down fly is a great feature as is the reinforced knees and seat. I'm not a fan of the knee pads and took them out immediately. These could be greatly enhanced by using a softer material or by being smaller and contoured.

Will you guys ever have the olive color available?

These were comfortable for early season, and quiet. The negative is they soaked up water like a sponge. While morning dew on the grass was prevalent, I was soaked to my knees in short order.

Best late season pants! Very comfortable, stretchy, quiet, durable and fairly warm although not the most windproof material. Easy to layer. The waterproof knees and butt is money. Perfect for late season predator hunting as well since your butt will stay dry. The DWR coating will fade in time and need to be replenished. I will always own a pair of Timberline Pants from Sitka. Great job.

My Timberline pants are now four moose seasons old. The first two seasons I loved them -- comfortable, waterproof, flexible, tough -- but the third season I noticed I was getting wet when walking in wet grass. This fall I might as well have been wearing blue jeans. They were totally porous and wicked water into my boots and other clothing. I looked for a "refresher treatment" remedy on the website but didn't find one. Although the pants are still in good shape, I won't be wearing them for another moose season.

My favorite pants from Sitka. From hunting sheep and goat in Alaska, to wearing as an everyday pant. I do really hate that the moss color was discontinued on these pants. Please bring that color back.

Fair warning for anyone on the taller side or looking specifically at the tall size, the suspenders will most likely be useless, which means you will need to bring a belt as an extra piece of gear to keep your pants held in place. I ordered these pants in a 34T. I am 6' 4" and regularly wear tall sized clothes. I was very happy with the overall feel of the pants, but the suspenders are not even close to being long enough, especially for a tall size. With the suspenders maxed out in length I still could use another 4+ inches. The pants constantly ride up way too high to be comfortable as they are now. I have emailed Sitka to ask if they have a longer option for the suspenders, but they do not. I am not very happy that the suspenders lack the needed adjustment considering the price of these pants. I was hoping that I had been sent regular length suspenders by accident.

These pants are the best pants I have ever wore in the mountains. Comfortable, stretchy, and very very durable. They should have holes all over them but they don’t. I love the butt and knee matterial that keeps them dry and provides the extra durability. All around great pant and highly recommended.

These. Pants. Are. The. Best. Stretchy yet tough as nails the fit is very forgiving. The reinforced knee and seat are a game changer. Sitting or kneeling in wet grass or rocky terrain is no longer a literal pain in the you know what. For as thin as they are, surprisingly warm. Wouldn't recommend them over about 60 degrees. Especially if in an active setting.

I own both the Timberline and the Mountain pant. Purchased directly from Sitka Gear. Both concepts are great, fabric, cut and functionality are without question best in class. However, for some reason the Timberline stitching is falling apart in several places. For that reason I would recommend the mountain pant but not the Timberline pant. I got them with the first run of the subalpine version so it may be a batch issue but still at this price they should be flawless. I own a ton of Sitka Gear clothing and this is the first time I can complain about fabrication quality. It’s still a great pair of pants but I’ll need to run them through the local seamstress for repairs. Returning the pant to Sitka from Canada would not be worth the cost of shipping.

Best all around Hunting pants made and it isn’t even close. I wear a variety of brands and I’ve tried all the high end competition to this pant and none of those pants can come close to versatility and durability of this pant. A must have for any big game mountain hunter.

2017 is the 29th year that I've had a guide / outfitter license. From the dark timber of central Idaho, to the oak brush covered hills of Colorado, I've hunted an average of 80 days per year. In that time, I've worn lots of wool pants, tin pants, high tech pants and everything in between. These Timberline pants are the best hunting pants ever designed. The reinforced knees and seat provide protection and comfort no matter the terrain, weather or conditions that you need to crawl through on the hunt. The slim, stretchy suspenders are perfect to pull over several layers of outerwear or just a tee shirt - whatever the day brings. Zippered and snapped pockets are perfectly positioned for ease of use. In the early season they're comfortable enough by themselves. As the season progresses, under layers can be added as needed and the cut of the pant provide ample room for insulating layers without feeling tight or constricted. Buy these pants! It's the best hunting pant ever made!

Best big game pants ever! I bought my first pair based on the positive research I found looking for a high quality hunting pant that would be tough, wind proof, light and allow for range of flexibility while hunting. Sitka Timberline is what I decided to try. Deer hunting October 2017 showed me their potential to be great while hunting in pouring rain, 35 to 55 degree temperatures, light snow and wind gusts up to 40 MPH. All over the course of 8 hard days of hunting. The Timberlines blocked the wind. Shed the rain and wet snow keeping me warm and dry with only a pair of Merino wool underneath which reduced bulk for better movement. The stretch flex material also reduced the always tiring “knee drag” which is common when wearing a cotton or wool hunting pant, especially when wet. The Timberlines gave a superior range of motion climbing over fallen trees, hunting up and down canyons and constantly lifting my boots stuck in thick vegetation while hunting the Oregon Coast. This alone provided a lot less fatigue compared to my various other hunting pants. The knee pads were a major bonus when I was field dressing my buck on a side hill littered with rocks, broken tree limbs and prickly choke vines. The knee pads rewrite the old adage to “No Pain Is Gain”. After deer season I purchased 2 more pairs, so, I could rotate them out during bull elk season Nov. 11 thru 14th 2017. This was smart since I knew from 42 years of hunting the Oregon Coast For elk, can ruin even the best gear. Elk 2017 didn’t disappoint! Opening day we laid 2 bulls down deep in a canyon 700 hundred yards away from the road and our rigs. 11 hours of winch work with me on my knees pushing a loaded sled while my one partner is pulling and our other partner is running the winch. My Timberlines experienced the brutality of elk hunting the entire way. Rain, dirt then mud, Devils thorns, ferns, rocks, logs, prickly choke vines and broken tree limbs. I never once felt a thorn through my Timberlines. Even though we were soaked to the bone from rain and sweat I was still warm and my legs were protected. Once we finally made it out and back to the house, I washed off my Timberlines with the hose to remove the mud and debris to see what damage had been done to them. I saw broken threads from thorns catching on the fabric or trapping my pants on a tree snag. I saw abrasions from being on my knees pushing the sled up and over logs and other nasty obstacles. But there wasn’t a single tear, rip hole, or opening in my pants. This wasn’t my first rodeo taking an elk out of this nasty hunting grounds but every other time I had ruined my pants. Not this time! Sitka, you have my humble appreciation and repesct. Thank you for making hunter gear worth it’s price and then some.

These pants are the ultimate hunting pants. Built like a tank but sleek as a sports car. They are ultra light weight and super durable and the most comfortable hunting pants ive ever worn. They move and work with you and not against you. Highly recommend!

Even better quality than I had read about. The Timberline pant and Cloudburst pant absolutely perfect! I ordered the Timberline in 33T and Cloudburst in LT. I couldn't think of better gear than Sitka puts out. I'll definitely be ordering more. I finally found a company who cares and who I will be sticking with from now on. Gary.

Liked the pants for the first nine days I used them. Was elk hunting in south east Washington and stopped to glass a canyon on a ridgeline. Got up and went to move further down and my hunting partner said my pants ripped in the back. I looked at them when I got back to camp and the double reinforced nylon ripstop seat was torn right by the stitch line right in the middle of the seat area. I wouldn't spend the money on these pants if they cant even get through one elk season.

Just got back from 6 days in field 2nd season elk in CO. Temps varied from 9 to 55 degrees with wind. I am incredibly impressed with these pants. Early morning required merino base layer but afternoons/evenings when it warmed up I wore alone and was comfortable. I absolutely loved the knee pads for stalking/glassing. Knee pads didn't bother me at all when walking. Very quiet pants when stalking. Cargo pockets were big enough for hat and gloves. Nice to have the zip pockets for pocket knives, etc... Waterproof seat was great for occasional sit on a wet log. Light snow was no problem. First time I have worn suspenders and I'm a convert now. Loved not having to wear a pant belt under the pack belt. 6"2" 180 lbs. and large fit perfectly.

I miss the knife pocket and they don't come with the belt anymore. Feel a little lighter than my older pair.

Timberline pants have addressed the gap I have had in my hunting pants kit for years. The comfort, stretch of the fabric and reinforced seat and knees are phenomenal. I have used these in the early season and through the late season with a light merino layer underneath. If you are looking for a do it all pant look no further. I am also impressed with how easily the blood stains come out of the fabric. Both lower legs were pretty bad after getting a bull. I did not retreat and just washed as directed and came out without any evidence of having field cleaned an animal. Sitka has many great pieces of gear that are worth every penny - These are one of the best in my opinion.

Love these paints! I really like the reinforced knees and but absolutely great for spot and stalk! I wear them a lot in the early season bow hunting! The 4 way stretch makes the extremely comfortable!!

These are my current go-to hunting pant. The fit is great and the 4-way stretch really adds to the comfort of wearing these as you are on the move. I also really like the reinforced knees and butt, given the amount of time I spend in the mountains hunting. I liked them so much I bought two more.

Great pair of pants for mountain hunting. I have used Tiimberlines for a few years now and have nothing bad to say about them. Extremely durable, would highly recommend for backcountry hunting.

I have been wearing these pants since they first came out and they are great pants! That being said why in the name of everything holy would you leave the belt and knife pocket off of the new ones?

After reading these reviews I had to get a pair of these pants! They are sized perfectly and run true to size. I'm 5'10" 189lbs and the 33R fits great! I have been using them for spring bear hunting and have been super happy with the reinforced knees and butt. I have every other pant on the market and I like these the best so far. I would like to see in the future is some venting for early season elk.

I really liked these pants. Very durable and kept me warm in Colorado. At first I thought the knee pads were silly but after having to crawl a few hundred yards to take a shot they came in handy. These should last me for years to come.

Wow! Job well done. These are the only pant I wore for my week long elk hunt. I typically switch out pants daily. The water proof knee and seat allowed me to hunt with out thinking of getting wet and cold. I feel like these pants under promise and over deliver. Thank you for creating a quality product..

I give these pants 3 stars only because I have the previous model and like it much better. I guess there were some complaints about the belt but i liked it and the new ones don't have it. I carry a clip knife and loved the special pocket on the old pants. Gone on the new ones. On inspection I can't help but think that the inner waist band is made of cheaper material. Over all they feel a little lighter and some might like that but to me the feel a little cheaper. Just my opinion. Not a bad pant if you haven't worn the old ones. Will not buy again.

Tough and durable! These pants are all around great. I first put these pants on at the end of August and took them off the first of December. Very versatile pant. I will say they are a bit warm for early season hunts especially if you are doing a lot of hiking. The tougher material on the knees and butt are great. I don't have to worry about sliding down a scree and tearing my pants.

I have had my Timberline pants for 1 year. I am an avid trapper, predator hunter and Elk hunting guide. My pants have over 100 days in the last year and have had everything that you can throw at gear thrown to them. In the cold months they are my trapline pants. On extra cold days a merino layer underneath is all I need to keep me warm The knee pads at first seamed a little silly but after using them I would not go work my cat line without them. This season elk hunting I spent about 2 hours on my knees working a herd of elk. My hunter could not understand how I could kneel so long as soon as he got home he sent me an email that he had purchased a pair. Well done Sitka your only problem is you made these so good I cant imagine I will not get at least another year in them.

Been wearing these two years now hunting here in Newfoundland. Love them wear them from mid October when it cools a bit ptarmigan hunting right through January for moose hunting. Great pants.

I cannot say enough about these pants. I was hesitant at first if they were going to be warm enough to get me through a solid week of coyote hunting. It's currently -21 in Alberta, with 31km winds and I have yet to get cold. A "decent" baselayer underneath, the pocket room, the attached suspenders, knee pads and waterproof butt, these pants are now my #1, and I would recommend them to anyone. Well played Sitka. Well played.

This is the only Sitka pant I own, but I can't see a reason to buy any of the other because I love these and would wear them to work everyday if I could get away with it. They are extremely comfortable. I have a full season (30 field days over 3 months) and have had no issues. Worth the money.

These pants have rapidly become my favorite for big game hunting, be it deer antelope or elk. I like the fit and the fact most of the pockets are secured with zippers. Just wish they were still made in the green color. One of the best features of these pants is my shirts rarely pull out. Great job Sitka

I have these in lead. I wear them for waterfowl, upland, and big game. Really the only pant I wear for whatever I'm hunting. I spend a lot of time in the field and these pants are showing very little wear after 2 years. Very impressed with the comfort and durable. Great job Sitka.

I had placed a poor review regarding the pant but I am so impressed with the Customer Service at Sitka. I brought the pant to Bozeman and discussed with Ben and Jarrod. They were absolutely great in taking care of the issue. Sitka stands behind its gear. Love the pants and as important, the customer service. Thank you.

As a chef I expect perfection from the knife to the protein. As a hunter I expect no less. This is the very best pant I've ever worn. I bought two more pairs and I am now a Sitka fan for life. Perfect!!! Comfortable and durable in any type of weather. Thank you Sitka for my new obsession.

These pants have been fantastic from stalking Antelope in the prairie on my hands and knees to climbing up mountains chasing elk. I like the solid colors. They are comfy and built really well from what I can see. The only down side for me is that I wish the tall sizes were just a little bit longer. But still a great product

I really like the fit of the pant and how maneuverable they are. I have not had a good experience with their durability. Have been on two hunting trips and in both cases came back with puncture holes in them due to typical rocks and brush. Repair from Sitka is not an option due to slow turnaround time and it is hunting season. I would not buy them again.

Very good pants! Bought them over a year ago and have used them 25+times. I highly recommend them.

Awesome piece! I have these in Moss and use them for everything from deer hunts, duck hunts and working in the field scouting and planting food plots. They are super comfortable yet super tough.

Stitching on inside of legs does not hold up to miles in the saddle on horseback. Had to restitch both legs after two hunts. Belt is too light weight and you will lose a knife when undone. To use your own belt you have to remove stitching. Knee pads were not for me. Thru all of that I love the fit, pockets and comfort. And they dry very quickly if wet. I'll keep em.

Rugged pant built for the mountains but comfortable enough to be worn around the house. I bought my first set last year for a Elk hunt, after crawling around the rocky terrain in the Oregon mountains I was thankful for the reinforced knee pads and waterproof butt, they performed flawless. I found them so comfortable as well that I bought a second pair in grey for shooting sports. Happy Hunting

I bought these pants in lead to compliment an older pair of camo mountain pants that I've had for several years. Those pants are great so I thought what could go wrong. Well first off the sizing is way smaller, I usually wear a 34R, the old mountain pant has a roomy fit and plenty of room. This new pair they apparently changed the style and a 34R fits like a pair of yoga pants. I'd say more like a 32 at best. One of the design changes was to taper the legs more, even with the proper size I'd be lucky to fit them over my boots. Very disappointed overall.

I already wrote a review for the 2015 model and thisone is for the new 2016 model. I like the 2015 model better. These 2016's lost 3 features i like. i like the previous fabric better than the new (new is more noisy); I am disappointed that there is no more built in belt, and that the inner calf rub patches are gone. I do like the new knee pads. Still great pants, but a step down from what they were.

They are worth the money and they are as good as people say. I took them on a northern Ontario moose hunt for 12 days and they worked really well. They were very comfortable and didn't bind once. They were perfect for riding ATVs, hiking through the woods, hauling a big cow and a buck out of the woods, fishing from shore and the boat and hanging out at camp. They were also warm with a good base layer under them. By the time the hunt was over, the pants were covered with mud, blood, dirt and beer and they cleaned up perfectly. The fabric was surprising to me: tough but really flexible without getting saggy and baggy after a few days. I basically wore them for the whole hunt. I didn't like the built in belt too much but it worked really well and you have to remember it's designed to be light weight, flexible, and non-binding and it does what it's designed to do. I don't carry a folder and so I hung my sheath on the belt and stuck the end of the sheath into the built-in knife pocket. It worked ok but I've asked my wife to move the belt loop over from right above the knife pocket so I can get a better fit. Bottom line: I was nervous about spending this kind of money for pants but they were well worth it and there going with me this year. Good luck and good hunting!

Great pants. Besides the complaints about the belt and the buttons, I would like them to lower the knife pocket a few inches. My knife rubs against my rifle stock when I have it shouldered. It's still my go to pant.

I wanted to wait to write my review on these pants, and since I have a full season under my belt wearing these about 80% of the time I can honestly say these are the most functional hunting pants on the market. The articulation is amazing and they never bind up. Hiking in these was super comfortable. They have very good wind resistance and offer a little warmth, with the right layers underneath these pants will take you through the whole season. I've worn these pants in 80 degree weather down to 10 degrees and they perform as advertised every time. I love the removable knee pads, I always put them in when I think I might need to sit on the ground, otherwise I leave them out. The dwr is also awesome! I've sat through several small storms and have stayed completely dry. the water proof seat is awesome when you want to sit down and your seat doesn't get soaked from the moisture on the ground. Honestly I could go on and on about these pants, so I'm just going to tell everyone who hunts to do themselves a favor and pick these up! They do not disappoint I can promise you that!

These truly are the last general hunting pants you will ever need to buy. I rifle deer hunt in at area that is all open rolling hills/prairie in northern SD and end up crawling on my hands and knees many times to stay just below the skyline to stalk deer. The knee pads are exceptional for this. The material is tough as nails yet elastic enough that it does not restrict movement. It is also much quieter than I expected. The only gripe I have is that at 6'4'' the talls are still a bit short. I could use another inch at the bottom but it isn't a deal breaker by any means. I would also recommend ordering a size larger in the waste that what you normally wear. I generally fit very comfortably into a 34 but had to send them back for a 36. Overall, they are worth every penny.

I really like the cut and feel of these pants. I wear them over a base layer all winter for active hunts and hikes and they provide enough insulation for pretty cold conditions. They are durable and the waterproof knee and backside is a great feature.

Extreamly tough pant , we treaded through very thick shrub oak and heavy timber and never got a snag on them , very comfortable and versetel . I really love the suspenders and rubber on the wast never had to adjust the pants. I only had on a merino base under and stayed very warm when it was 17 deg out

Over the years I have spend beyond hundreds, somewhere in the low thousands looking the the perfect hunting pant. The Timberline pant is now my go-to pant. In fact, for the first time ever, I was so satisfied I bought a second pair and have gotten ride of all my other hunting pants that I have collected over the years because they are now useless! The Timberline fits perfect, moves with your body and is quiet. The only problem I have found is that they are so much better that all my other hunting clothes I have began to slowly replace all my old hunting clothes with Sitka Gear.

The snaps on the cargo pockets may as well have not been there - they did nothing. I returned the pants, and the replacement is fine. These aren't marketed as canoeing pants, but the waterproof seat and knee pads make them perfect for that purpose. I wore them for ten days straight on a wilderness river trip and once the knee pads broke in could find nothing to complain about. Lightweight, fast-drying, and comfortable, with well-thought-out details like the reinforced knife pocket. Unlike some reviewers, I think the lightweight belt-and-suspenders combination is superb.

Let me start off by saying that I really wanted to like these pants. They seem like the perfect go-to outer layer. I was impressed with the quality out of the box and felt like they would be the ticket. I have to say, though, after spending 4 days hunting in them, I am very disappointed, and wish I had brought another pair of pants on my trip. I am 6' 160 lbs and usually wear a 30/32 in jeans. The size 32 fell right off of me, so I decided to go with the size 30, which the sizing chart says has a 31 in inseam. I figured with boots, it wouldn't be much of an issue. I was wrong. While walking, the pants constantly ride up on my boots and get caught on the top. While sitting, they ride up over the top of my 8" Danners and are incredibly drafty. The actual inseam measurement on my pair is 29.5". The knee pads, while a good idea, are pretty bulky and do not articulate as well as they should. They make kneeling comfortable, however while walking and sitting they always feel awkward and uncomfortable. Things I do like: again, quality is fantastic and the waterproof knees and seat are awesome. Like I said, I desperately wanted to like these, but I was let down. I guess if you have short legs and comfort isn't high on your list of priorities they will work for you. Honestly, I would probably return them if I hadn't already worn them.

Hey Daniel - Thanks for reaching out. We can appreciate your concern. Tears are always unfortunate and often times the cause is unknown to the user. Our goal is education and to walk you through your previous experience to help identify the cause. It's out intent to build trust with our gear. If the tear is actually a seam coming unraveled that is another story and please let us know as that is our fault for not asking the right questions. You did mention heavy alders. Is there a chance you slipped or fell in your push through those alders? The reality is that we make light weight, durable, breathable gear but there is a breaking point. Let's say you are 180lbs with a 40lb pack on, a slip on a broken alder branch or root system and that's nearly 220lbs of force coming down on a sharp object. Again, tears are unfortunate but they do occur, it's a reality of our passion and environment. "Gear is like fuel, you only burn through it if your using it" - Conrad Anker. Normally Tears are not covered under warranty, industry wide, but because it was your first trip we repaired them on us. That's above what many brands in the hunting and or mountain sports industry would do. You also mention matching jacket. We don't make a Timberline Jacket so I am going with the assumption that you have the Jetstream Jacket? That's the Jacket I always recommend for a 9 day hunt in Kodiak but combined with a Rain shell, such as the Stormfront Jacket. Please understand that if your jacket does not say GORE-TEX it's not going to be Waterproof. The Jetstream Jacket for example is constructed with Windstopper, which is 100% windproof but it is not Waterproof nor do we claim it to be. Please let us know if your jacket is a GORE-TEX piece - 877-748-5247.

I had a close friend recommend these pants of my hunt last year so i took a chance and got them with the matching jacket. I bought them from a local retailer here in Kodiak. I went on a 9 day goat hunt on the south side of Kodiak, Alaska and for the most part the pants did the job described. They were extremely comfortable and enjoyed wearing them more than any other pants i have ever owned. Only thing is the pants ripped right at the seat on the right side. Which is weird because that is supposed to be the strongest part. Also the belt is to small to hold a side arm. I immediately called the store I got them from and they said they would ship them to Sitka to be exchanged for another pair. 2 weeks later I get a call from a Sitka rep asking questions about how i ripped them. I explained that I didn't know how they got ripped, we were bushwalking through some thick mountainous terrain with heavy Alder bushes and other than that IDK. The only reason i knew they were ripped at the time was because my buddy behind told me as he was walking behind me that day. The Sitka rep acted like I was not telling the truth and said these pants should not have ripped at the location that they did. He acted like i ripped them on purpose. I was kind of annoyed at the fact i was nonsulantly being told i was lying. He said they would patch the rip but it would not be as affected as it was when it was new. I couldn't argue because it was either Sitka patch it or I was out 300$. I still have the pants and still use them today, but without the 100% guarantee that i will ever buy from Sitka again due to this issue with the Sitka rep. The only other thing is that the jacket did not keep me dry like it was supposed to. It rained on us the entire hunting trip and after a couple hrs the jacket would start to get soaked through and i was wet and cold and very uncomfortable. Still got my goat and tagged out on my deer though. Great gear just disappointing customer service that doesn't back their gear like they should.

Lose the belt!!! Bigger belt loops to accommodate belts for weapons on the hip! Zippers on the outside of each lower leg!

I am more than happy with my timberline pants. They are super comfortable and will be a versatile piece from early to late season. I will have a hard time wearing any other pants in the field from here on out. They stretch unbelievably well but still have a very tough feel. I don't know how sitka did this, but I am impressed.

Just got these. True to size.very comfortable. Kneepads arent a big deal especially if youve ever done trade work. Best part of the pants....top and bottom tabs on the fly zipper....genious!!!

These pants are pricey and almost worth it. I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought them but gave them a shot anyway. They were much more comfortable than other hunting pants, and the seat/knee waterproofing was good, though not really 100% waterproof. I have three complaints. First is the belt. It's worthless, you can't put a pistol, knife or anything heavy on it. All my buddies and I cut it out and the belt loops are so small it's hard to fit a real 1.5" gun belt through the loops. Please eliminate the fixed belt and make the belt loops larger. Second, not sure how pants can't be ambidextrous, but these are. The pockets are set up for right handers. Finally, I was at SHOT show 2015 and I was told by a Sitka representative that the left handed issue and belt issue would be change for this year. Hmmm, doesn't seem so.

The last pair of mountain pants you will need. Hands down the best spot and stalk pants ever made. Only thing is, I wish I could get the ascent pant thickness with the seat and knee pad on these pants for early season hunts in west tx to Arizona. I will wait patiently as I'm sure Sitka is already working on that. If you aren't holler at me I would love to put that product through west tx mesquite and heat! Every dove hunter in tx would love a very breathable hot weather pant with a knee pad, for now these pants are the best available! They truly are as tough as everyone before me is saying.

These pants are fantastic. Very comfortable and I love the waterproof seat. I do not notice the knee pads when I am hiking but do notice when I kneel down and they are right where they are supposed to be. I use them during the summer for hiking / scouting and September all the way through the nicer days of November for hunting. The buttons on the cargo pockets are worthless. They are quiet but they do not stay snapped. Not a big deal but a new source for buttons or a different system is needed.

These pants are nearly bombproof!! Super comfortable, and I love that the knees and seat are water resistant and the knee pads and suspenders came with them. They are a bit on the heavier side though, and I don't like the button pockets. All in all, it's the best pair of hunting pants I've used, and I'm buying a second pair.

After a nuclear war, the only things left on planet earth will be cockroaches and the timberline pant. I have used them for several mountain goat hunts in south central Alaska and they have performed way beyond what I expected of them. Above all they are darn tough and whatever material they make the waterproof seat out of it is bombproof... There were several times I made less than graceful descents and expected to return to the truck with tattered shreds attached to my waist. Despite my best efforts at trying to destroy them, these pants just keep going. The only bummer is that devils club thorns (and other similar plant weapons) go right through the stretchy fabric on the thigh, I would suggest beefing up that area. Besides the thorn issue (which is minor) these pants are great and I would not hesitate to purchase them again.

I really like the pants, but they would be so much better if you could use a real belt. The small belt that is included sags when you try to carry a firearm. Other than that they are great. I like the kneepads and reinforced knees and butt which makes them super durable.

Fantastic Pants! I really appreciate the padded knees and the reinforcement on the seat of these pants. When you are spot and stalking antelope in Wyoming, you need all the protection you can get. Very comfortable in all types of temperatures. I will definitely be buying more of this product.

I do like the pants overall, but would like to see the belt taken away and use belt of choice. Not able to use belt with cartridge holder. Also, the snaps that hold the pocket flaps down do not remain snapped. Actually, they are a total waste and do not work. Hope you like digging trash out of you pocket. Please consider replacing with a zipper. Again, snaps do not work at all.

Absolutely a bomb proof pant for the toughness of the Rocky Mountains. Quality stitching and certainly True to fit, but only wished I could have a shorter pant length; S (Short) R (Regular) T (Tall). These pants when accompanied by a next to skin layer thermal become a Hellfire of a pant to withstand the cutting wind and cold of high altitude elevations. Well worth every dollar you'll spend on a pant!

I love these pants, however the inseam is too short. I'm a thirty two waist and a thirty six inch inseam. How come sitka doesn't make a thirty two tall size??? I have talked to a lot of people who have the same problem.

If I could own only one pair if Sitka pants (any hunting pants for that matter) these would be it. I've worn these from 80 degrees to 15 degrees ant haven't been let down yet. On everything but the rainiest days I just throw on some gaiters along with my Cloudburst jacket and I'm good to go. Whether I'm guiding or chasing elk for myself, these are the first pants I go for. One pair has four seasons on it and it's still going strong.

Hey Dan - You will be happy to learn that 32 Talls will be offered for 2015 and available in June!

The quality of the pants is great. I love the knee pads for crawling stalks, especially antelope in rocks and cactus. The Gore knees and seat are great in the snow. My only complaint is the sizing. Why no 32 tall? I and several others I know love Sitka products, but a 32 regular is not long enough and a 34 tall requires cinching and pulling up all day long. A 32 tall would be great. I know I'm not the only one with this complaint.

I've been wearing these for about 3 wks into the Wyoming elk season. They've changed my thinking about how good hunting pants can be. Think "iron pajamas". That's the comfort level. We'll see how they hold up to the downfall and miles but I'm optimistic. The scuff guards do make a little noise but it's pretty minimal and I bet they'll break in and get quieter. if you put miles on your feet on the hunt in the mtns, buy them. Now.

Have been wearing the timberline pant for the last couple weeks as we have had early cold here in SW Montana. Moving through the wet forest, kneeling down to stalk, and sitting on my butt to glass; the pants stayed clean, dry, and comfortable. Material wise they are super durable. The quiet snaps do try to open if your moving through high brush, but they are deep enough that nothing falls out. The zippered pockets are relatively quiet as well. Its funny to be stoked on pants, but when you're confident in the gear you're wearing, the days become that much more enjoyable and lets your focus on what's important, THE HUNT!

Hey Jim - Appreciate the feedback. In regards to the belt, we designed it with only one stitch to hold it in place for this exact reason. We suggest using a seam popper or a razor to pop the stitching. Once that stitch is removed you can easily slide the belt out.

Overall a great product. I have been wishing for a waterproof seat in a pair of pants for a long time and this is it. As expected; fit, material, design is all very good. My change would be to ditch the sewn in belt. Let me put my own sitka belt in. It is too easy for my shell holder to slide off. With the bomber belt, I don't ever pull the strap out of the buckle, so nothing can escape.

Wore these on a caribou hunting trip up on the north slope of AK and couldn't have asked for a better performance out of these pants. The waterproof bottom and kneepads were perfect for keeping me dry when having to kneel/sit on the damp tundra. The suspenders and built-in belt were great features as was the rubberized waistband. Rugged design with plenty of pockets. Easy to put on every morning and walk straight out of the tent. An amazing piece of gear, look forward to many more successful hunts with it!

In the high country there's no way of knowing what the weather will bring from day to day, that's why I rely on the Timberline Pant. with the waterproof yet breathable knees and seat, and superior DWR coating, I can go to bed knowing that no matter what nature throws at me overnight, I'll be hunting in the morning.

These pants are truly amazing. The flexibility is superior to anything I have ever worn. Recently I wore these on a antelope hunt and while the temp was high the breathed well and performed well.

The flexibility is amazing in these pants. I just returned from an early archery deer hunt in Southern AZ. It reached mid 80's and I was comfortable in the shade with these pants. Pockets are great. They're everywhere! I do agree with the last post--the quiet snaps are certainly quiet, but I do find them open at times. Luckily the flaps are deep and overlap the pocket. Drawstrings at the legs would be ideal. I got devoured by chiggers! Gaiters will be my next purchase. The knife pocket is in a great location and holds it tight. The knee pads--I was skeptical, but they are really nice...and removable from the inside--genius! They really fold around your knees nicely when kneeling or just with your legs up while sitting. The suspenders are great for a long legged guy like myself. They really extend the overall length if you're concerned about covering your boot. Also the gel-like inner liner of the waste band really keep your shirt from coming untucked...nice added bonus. I can't wait to wear them for my November AZ elk hunt in some colder weather. Thanks Sitka.

Great piece of gear. Material, fit and performance. The timberline replaces my fleece bibs in cold weather and cotton camouflage in the early season. I carry camouflage rain gear to put on top of my previous. Not any more with the timberline pant. I use the short gaiter to keep the scree and creepy crawlers out of my boots. The kick panels are noisy if you are not careful with your stride. The fit is awesome. I first tried the long cut but changed to the regular length. Perect fit 36 x 34. I'm looking for a solution to losing my belt gear every time I undo my belt. You know the situation. The belt just slides right out of the loop along with all the gear; range finder, knife, tools. The buckle hook side catches on the slider preventing loss of gear on that side. The other side is the problem. I could change how I carry my belt gear, change belts, add a slider to the other end or rivet the belt to the last belt loop to prevent loss. Give this some thought. The pocket snaps although quiet separate without warning. I carry maps and compass in my right one and calls in my left. I find the pockets open too often. I might add a magnet or something else even a zipper. The knee pads add confidence, comfort and support to my old knees. ZIP pockets are flawless and convenient. Gusset crotch, nice touch.

This is my favorite pair of pants in the camo world. Sitka does pants right! It took me a while to get used to pants that didn't feel like iron. In the climbing world, I have become used to products that are light, fast, and durable. In the hunting world, they don't usually hit all 3 marks. Most of my field clothes are made of very sturdy material and the Timberline feels nothing like any of them. It has proven to wear like iron, fending off the Montana rocks and thorns pretty well. I chose the Timberline over the Mountain for the extra durability of the knees and seat so I wouldn't have to think about what I was doing. They fit extremely well, they work as good as they look, and they don't seem to care how badly you treat them. 3 and 1/2 stars because the knee pads occasionally get a little wonky and require some fixing. I test gear for Gore and this is something I bought with my own money. I might have to get some in a solid for ice climbing this winter. Yes, they are that good!

I bought these pants for winter hound hunting and LONG walks. They have performed well in wet/cold weather in N Idaho. The rubber lined belt line is nice to keep shirts tucked in and keep the pants where they belong on your hips. I like the built in belt and the snap too. Overall a great product.

I recently returned from a late season mule deer hunt where I had the pleasure of wearing a pair of timberline pants . I wish I would have bought them sooner and I can't wait to use them on a sheep hunt . They preformed almost flawlessly , the buttons on my pockets opened a few times going through sage brush . Other then that they were awesome . Thanks Sitka for helping me harvest a trophy mule deer .

Awesome gear~just got back from 9 day muzzleloader C.O. elk hunt and was really impressed with fit,durability, and loved staying dry moving through dew soaked terrain.

My wife and I both wore the timberline pants while on a week hunt for thar, chamois, and red stag in New Zealand. We camped and hiked during the hunt and live in our Sitka gear for a week. My wife spent a lot of time sliding down extreme steep slopes on her seat across, grass, brush and rocks and after washing the seat looks like new. The stretch in the fabric works great allowing unrestricted movement required for steep mountain hunts. Great, and well designed product.

These pants are the "Cats' Pyjamas", buy them... The waterproof knee and seat are awesome for kneeling or sitting on damp/wet ground or even just walking through dewy grass. If you're going to buy a pair of Sitka pants, I highly recommend that anyone consider these pants. I test products for GORE as a Hunting Tech and I was seriously impressed with the quality and thought that went into these suckers! Not to mention all the useful pockets!

I won't lie; I've had these pants for going on three seasons and have just now really started to put them to the test. I really have been missing the boat with not using the Timberline pant until now. They basically took my go-to pant, the Mountain Pant, and took things up a notch. The material is a bit more heavy duty than that of the Mountain Pant and the added waterproof fabric in the seat and knees is just what you need if hunting where the conditions can change rapidly. I hunt primarily in Northern Idaho, where during the month of September the conditions can vary from 90 degrees and dry, to all the way down to the low forties and threatening snow. The Timberline pant covers all of the bases and with the four-way stretch material and athletic cut; they have awesome range of motion. You will never feel hindered in this pant; whether moving through technical terrain, or just still-hunting through a Pine forest. Just like the rest of the soft-shell pants in the Sitka line; they are very durable and abrasion resistant. Busting brush all day is not a worry and with the DWR finish; you don't have to go through the discomfort of getting wet while dealing with light rain, or even walking miles in the morning dew. This is just a quick overview; these pants have several other features that you will find are spot-on money. I haven't wanted to take these pants off this entire Elk season and will continue to wear them well into the late season. These pants are a must have for the mountain hunter. I'm already scheming up ways to justify to my wife another pair... Luke Johnson GORE HuntingTech

The Timberline pants have now become my go-to pant! Being a GORE HuntingTech has allowed me to test a lot of different pants and I was thoroughly impressed with this piece of Gear on my Elk hunt this fall. Early mornings held a lot of dew in the tall grass and my legs stayed dry. Just pair the Timberlines up with the Sitka Flash Gaiters and a light hiking boot and you have a killer Elk setup. While kneeling in the muskeg, I had peace of mind, knowing that my knees would stay dry. A few evenings I ended up sitting on damp ground at a lick and the moisture never made it through the seat of my pants. These pants are super comfy for walking and active hunting. The built in belt is a nice touch and the suspenders being detachable was a bonus. I didn't use the suspenders, but it's nice to have the option in the future. I highly recommend these pants to anyone that wants a bombproof, comfortable, breathable and effective pant. I'm looking forward to trying these pants out in the Rocky Mountains for Bighorn sheep in the upcoming months... I'm positive that these pants will excel!

During an early elk hunt in October, I had the opportunity to put the Sitka brand to the test. I got up early and added a base layer for the cool Idaho Morning. After hearing a cow calling gently in the breeze, I proceeded to gain about 1500 feet in elevation as quickly as I could. After reaching a bench near the ridge line I jumped several cows but no bulls. With the sudden climb I was concerned about my layering but the pants breathed like a charm. The day began to warm up and I descended to a lower elevation to discover another small herd of cows and bulls, this time I put on a super sneak to get within 75 yards in open sagebrush. These pants worked great in the hotter temperature and the knee pads were a bonus while crawling through cactus. I did shoot a small bull and was amazed that they were unable to locate me even after firing. My father was watching from a distance and said that unless I was moving I disappeared. It was a real win win for me to use gear that can handle any situation from elements to concealment all the while staying comfortable. I'm convinced that Sitka gear is the only hunting clothing worthy of wearing.

Great pants, I love the suspenders and waterproof seat and knees! They are great for crawling under or over wet logs, or for sitting on snowy rocks! Thanks Sitka!!

I used these pants on a six day primitive black bear hunt in Alaska. The Optifade pattern was perfect and the pants performance exceeded my expectations. The tapered fit and the integrated knee pads made the crawling stalks a pleasure. No fabric noise, and comfortable. I highly recommend!!
