So comfortable, and not a heavy pant either. They fit snug around the calf and fitted everywhere else. The heel grip is a game changer!

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

I cannot wear my gradient pants until it’s at least 40 degrees outside. That’s how warm they are. Super comfortable, love em so much I bought a second pair.

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.

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.

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.
