Game changers
These pants are game changers as the title suggests. These are the most comfortable and feature rich wader pants you will find. I have tested the pants from Banded and Drake and the Sitka Gear pants are far superior and purpose made. Let’s start with comfort. These are pants you just want to lounge around in due ti the high Loft fleece liner. The fit is not baggy but allows for base layer/s to be worn with comfort. The outer material is slick allowing for no binding when putting waders on so no bunching or points where the pants are a point of discomfort. These are very warm. These are the pants you’ll be wearing on the drive to the hunt as well as hanging around after the hunt relaxing. Features (let me show them to you) : The quick adjust snap belt is very comfortable and easy to use. Inside the waistband is a silicone bead all around that keeps the waist band where it belongs. No sliding or riding up or down. The pockets are comfortable and deep to retain whatever hides there. I did. recently purchase another pair and it seems they deleted the right thigh pocket which was nice to have so I miss that on the new version. No let’s get to the best feature, the stirrup. Coupled with the tapered legs, the stirrup makes these the best waders pants you will ever own. It keeps the pants where they need to be. I have used these pants with both neoprene as well as the canvasback full body waders and they fit and works perfectly. I do not know what sorcery goes into these pants but when my neoprene waders leaked the Gradient pants kept me warm and actually maintained comfort. I wasn’t even aware of the small leak until I took the waders off to find my pants were wet. I do not hunt without them. If I’m wearing waders, these pants are under them.
