These pants fit very well on my lower half and are super comfortable. Very warm as well, can’t wait to try them late season. Just a little big in the waist but has adjustable belt built in.

Versatile pant

This pant is amazing for early season bow hunting. They are light and comfy enough to prevent you from dripping sweat in the woods. They also function as a warm base layer in you want to put on bibs over these.

Best wader pant on the market

These pants are a game changer. There are not many pieces of hunting apparel that you can say are indispensable, but these Pants are. The start they are more than just a wader pant. They will be one your favorite pants to lounge in during the winter. The foot loop makes these a must have. I have wader pants from Drake, and Banded as well but the Sitka pants are far superior. The fleece is higher quality, softer and better at insulation. The attached quick snap belt makes them perfect and always the perfect fit. Now for the big one for me. I am a guide and run 40-55 body booting trips a season. This requires me to be standing in up to chest deep water for hours at a time with many of those hints being at or near freezing temps and iced up. At some point my waders will eventually leak and these pants will keep my warm all day even when wet with uninsulated waders. They keep the heat and one of my must have pieces of gear that you will never find me without standing for 5 hours in 35 degree water. I had the first generation version and also the current ones. I only wish they had kept the leg pocket on the new ones as that pocket was very handy. Now they have just your typical R and L pants type pockets.

Super Warm Base Layer

Got these under layer for waterfowl and these are super warm, for right under a top layer. The feet stirrups keep them in place when putting on waders or any other base. The built in belt loop make it easier to keep them up as well. I did have to go one size smaller than normal so that they weren’t so baggy

Very warm and durable. Runs a little big. I like a tighter fit in clothing that I wear as a base layer on really cold days so I generally like something like this to fit tighter.

Gradient Pant is a great piece

This is very well made. The fit is good I think. At 195lbs 5’10” tall I got the XL and they are a tad loose but that would also help if I decided to layer under these. Overall I really like these pants and look forward to using them this winter.

Another great Sitka product. Very warm and high quality material. Runs a touch big in the thigh area but would be good for layering so overall about right. If you're tired of your legs getting cold, look no further.
