Traverse pant review

When I first received the Sitka Traverse Pants, I expected them to be made from the same material as the Traverse Jacket. Initially, I was a little surprised by how much lighter the pants felt compared to the jacket. After spending some time wearing them, though, I completely understand why Sitka designed them this way. The lighter-weight material makes the pants extremely comfortable and easy to move in, whether you're hiking, climbing, or covering a lot of ground during a hunt. They don't feel bulky or restrictive, and they breathe much better than a heavier fleece-style pant would. Another thing I appreciate is how quiet they are in the woods. The fabric doesn't create much noise when moving through brush or getting into position, which is always important for hunting. The Optifade Subalpine pattern looks great and blends well into the terrain I hunt most often. Overall, the Traverse Pants have grown on me quite a bit. While they weren't what I initially expected, I now see the benefit of the lighter construction. They're comfortable, quiet, easy to move in, and have quickly become one of my favorite hunting pants.

Super flexible and breathable pant. Not the pant you want to walk through brush with, but is a super comfortable and lightweight pant.

LOVE These Pants!

I've been searching for a pant that is lighter in weight, durable, water resistant and comfortable. I've tried a bunch of different pants. Including from Sitka's biggest competitor. These pants have become my favorite! They are still a tad heavy for anything over 80 degrees however. These have become my new 3 season dog training pants. SITKA. . . . . . . PLEASE add additional colors (and possibly hip vents). If you do, I'll buy them and they will be my new every day pant!!!!!!!

Light weight performance

This is my 4th pair (different pattern) traverse pants. My absolute go to for any condition over 45 degrees. In my opinion; The stretch and comfort are unmatched to any other top hunting brand in the light weight category.

Perfect pants for hot weather hunting

Similar to the lightweight hoodies I purchased, needed new colors for my pants. The material seemed a little different between the subalpine and cover but again both did and served me well.

I love these pants so much!

I have six pairs of these pants! I started with a couple of pairs of these alpine camouflage exclusively for hunting but I find them so comfortable and functional that I have started buying them in solid colors for business casual situations. I cannot say enough about these pants.
