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.

Great pants

All around great pants. Don’t recommend if you’re walking in to wherever you’re hunting because you’ll sweat. But for long sits they’re great.

Would not have survived this past winter without the gradient pants and back 40 boots under my coveralls. Went 3 weeks with temps below 30 with most mornings near zero.

Owned a pair for hunting, bought those as a dual purpose fishing and hunting insulating later. Great for under my waders when fishing. Love them.

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.

Tall Size Design Issue

I gave this a four because the tall size seems to have the same design issue as the tall waders: when you bend down on one knee the materials stretches tight on a line from knee to crotch. The waders were so bad I had to return them. The gradient pant material has a little more flex and I’m putting up with them. Otherwise, it’s a great product. But it appears to me Sitka has a design problem with tall sizes. I don’t say this lightly because I’m a huge Sitka fan. And while I’m putting up with the gradient pant, I would not buy them again because of the tall fit. I’m 6’5” and weigh 200 lbs.
