The Gradient Pant is an excellent wader pant that’ll keep you warm in some of the coldest conditions during the mid to late seasons. With a proper base layer I also use the Gradient Pant as my outer layer when I go goose hunting and ice fishing. Some of the features I like about the Gradient Pant is the stirrups, as they help you slide into your waders easily with out bunching up. I also like the two way zipper which really helps when you don’t want to take your gloves off on a cold day. Now the Gradient Pant isn’t water proof but they do repel water well and dry fast. The only concern I have about these pants is that when I got them the seams on the cuffs where kinda beat up and frayed. I’m not to concerned about this since the cuffs aren’t exposed outside when I’m in the field but still a little annoyed. In all the Gradient Pant is another great piece of Sitka Gear that’ll keep you warm and cozy in the field.

Overall, what you would expect from Sitka, great product. Sizing is tricky. They are made to be a slimmer fit for under waders. I am 6’ 180 lbs and all my pants are 32x32. I went with the medium tall size, they were within my size range, however the fit was skin tight. I returned them and got the large and they fit perfect.

Just get them!!! With out a shadow of a doubt these are the best wader pants available. Wear them around camp, sleep in them on cold nights in the tent, just wear them because they are comfortable and well thought out like all Sitka Gear. If you wear them under your waders, make sure it is really cold...these bad larry's are WARM!!!!

These are the best wader pants period. Warm soft and fit perfect. Built in belt that works well and nice deep pockets.. If I could go through life wearing these all day every day I would. Treestand hunting Whitetails, ducks in the marsh or just hanging around the house these are the ones! Perfect!

Made a last minute decision to go outside and photograph the milky way. That process can be time consuming and for me it meant getting in the wide open fields away from lights to get the desired shot. That being said I wore the gradient pants out with a pair of tennis shoes for about 1.5 hours on a 34 degree night. NEVER got cold and stayed completely comfy in the process. Cant wait to try them with waders this duck season.

Ohhhh boy, these get worn more than any piece i have. Ill throw them on just to lay on the couch and watch tv. Then hop up, throw on my waders and go hunt. Great when the temps drop. However might be alittle warm for your early season hunts

My goose hunting pants and wader pants.. great wearing pants, there warm and very comfortable can’t go wrong with Gradient pants and Jacket

Talk about comfort. The stirrups are on of my favorite features - great for layering and not having to worry about them sliding up your leg. they are the most comfortable "sweatpants" that I have ever worn and I even use them as an outer as well. Highly recommend buying these to add to your late season arsenal!

By far the best layer I've ever used!!! don't do anything under 30 degrees out side without these bad boys. Very comfy,

Great layer for waders/extreme cold. Like other folks mention, extremely warm, comfortable and well designed for their purpose. I recently wore mine on an exceptionally cold hunt here in MT (daytime highs below zero) under my layout pants, and was very warm.

As my other reviews, I use the waterfowl marsh gear to hunt coyote on the edge of grassy fields. The pants are very comfy and are perfect for early fall sits.

One word to describe these pants.. COMFORTABLE!! I received my pair in the mail last week and tried them on when I got home. They fit exactly like they should and I didn't take them off! They're the most comfortable pants I've ever owned! I can't wait to see how well they perform this season! I'd definitely recommend them to anyone!

You know we spend long days setting decoys, breaking ice, brushing in blinds, and cleaning birds. So why would you not want to do it in the most comfortable wader pants out there? I'm talking go straight from the blind to the couch and pass out only to realize you're still dressed for the hunt. Do yourself a favor and get a pair of these you won't regret it!

After wearing these pants this season I must say that these are by far the most comfortable pair of wader pants I have ever slid into. They have also worked well under my Pantenal Bibs. I will say this, if the temperature is going to be much warmer than 40 degrees, I wouldn't recommend wearing them with a pair of neoprene waders but with a pair of breathable waders they were perfect.

Without a doubt the best wader pants on the market. Even after the hunt, I still wear them all day. Comfort is an understatement. If you do not have these you are missing out.

The most comfortable pant I have ever worn under waders or bibs! No bunching and great fitting. They work so well you'll find yourself lounging in them after you strip off your outerwear.

This is a fantastic pair of pants, I just hunted a weekend in North Dakota with temps in the teens and I paired the Gradient pant with the Core Heavyweight Bottoms and I stayed more than comfortable laying in the blind. I really like that I can wear them tucked into my Rubber Muck Boots and there is absolutely zero bunching up and they stay in place and do not ride up.

These pants are simply amazing! I have fallen in love with a pair of pants for sure! Not only are these things super warm, but I may have to buy another pair because i think I may lounge in them all winter long! Today I wore them while duck hunting with merino wool bottoms under and Pantanal Bibs over. That combination was the best I have worn in years...if not ever! The gore-tex under my neoprenes with pin hole leaks even kept me dry where I typically have damp fleece liners. The Gradient is so much more than I had imagined and I HIGHLY recommend this as an insulation piece if not just a comfortable around camp piece! Today was my first experience with Sitka gear and I am more than thoroughly impressed! They pay attention to detail in their designs for sure.

By far the best wader pants out there.

Hands down the best piece to wear under a bib or waders, by far the most comfortable pair of pants I have ever owned.
