Best mid layer pant. Puffy or other

[Robertsj22]

Looking for an insulated layer before my outer. I have first lite furnace but was hoping for something between it and outer

I'm assuming we're talking about stationary hunting here? Potentially wearing underneath bibs or some other kind of insulated outer layer pant?

Find you a puffy vest. Several companies make them. Just have to choose down or synthetic.

Ok, cool! Then my vote would either be some kind of insulated down pant like @ForlohFamily shared, or potentially a full fleece style pant. Check these out.

Both style of pants can be worn as an outer layer, or can be layered underneath a heavy bib or something of that nature.

No offense but I’m not spending $400 for a
Mid layer. I know you are made in the USA but come on, most puffy pants are below $200

Watch camofire - black ovis down pants are awesome for the price. They were just on there the other day for $138. They are awesome for the price. I definitely get made in USA when I can, but damn. I’ll take these and make a nice donation to Semper fi &USA or Gary Sinise foundation or Folds of Honor or something with my savings.

I would check out Kenai pant from Kuiu. I have the furnace pant. The are very warm. It would have to be below 20° for me to rock this combo of the the Furnace, Kenai, and insulated bibs.

If you’re stationary, then go with a puffy from any of the brands. OR makes a cheap one, and they go on sale quite a bit.

If you stationary and not far from the truck and want to treat yourself, maybe check out some heated pants? I’ve got a buddy who uses some that were cheap — he loves them.

I run way too hot to even think about wearing puffy pants while on the go. But I do like a light micro fleece as a mid-layer for hiking if it’s really cold.

For stationary glassing you'll probably be more happy with something that goes over your existing pant. 1/2 to full zip will allow you to simply pull them over (w/o taking off boots or pants), when you're done, unzip and throw back in your pack- easy peasy.

Because it's an outer layer, I prefer the fabric to have some wind/light precip protection.

The ones I use are no longer made sadly (Nunatak), but I believe the Kifaru ones are similar to what I have

I’m curious about First Lite’s origin pants for this same use, thick enough to walk in and then add your outer layer

While technically from their waterfowl line, check out sitka gradient bibs or pants. Even now, you can find previous years models pretty cheap.
