Best Cool Weather Pant Ever

My favorite cool weather pant. The foot stirrup holds pant in place inside boots or waders

Great purchase!

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.

Very high quality, very warm

Pretty much everything I hopes for. Almost too warm if thats possible. A little tight in the calf but to be expected for what they are designed for

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.

Gradient Pant

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.

Questionable stitching

After taking these pants off trying them on to confirm fit, I could hear stitches tear in the stirrups. It only happened that once, but now i treat them more gently than I do other pieces of gear I own that I don't have to second guess. The pants are warm and quiet.

The Clothing Season Extender

I’m an athletic build (215lbs/34. 5” waist) with the quads to match. I bring this up because I have had issues with Sitka pants, and others, fitting. The L in these pants fit as I envision they should—fitting to the lower body as an under layer, but not constricting to cause discomfort. they have the an integral belt to snug up(which I have to do). They have the versatility to be worn as a standalone item, but when layered will extend your clothing’s temperature range capability. I wish I’d have owned these years ago.
