Budget Hiking Pants

[cowboyarcher]

Hey All!

Is there a decent budget option for hiking pants? What about the Ferrosi pants? I've always worn cotton or NYCO and realize they are not ideal fabrics. I am typically a day hunter, but I'd like to invest in more technical gear here and there.

Thanks for any insights!

Costco brand Eddie Bauer guide pants. I wear them every day, and hunt and hike in them.

Prana stretch Zions are a nice affordable choice.

Eddie Bauer guides, prana zion, and the wrangler atg and outdoor flex are good budget options for the money.

Wrangler Men's Outdoor Comfort Flex Cargo Pant

I learned about these here on Rokslide. For the $ they are really tough to beat. Much cheaper than the Eddie Bauers or so at $21.92. No less a good pant though. Eddie Bauers are good but the stitching fails quickly on all my pairs (5). The Wrangler's waistband is great too as it flexes a bit. They also come in camo. Highly recommended.

I wear the wrangler outdoor comfort flex pants almost every day year around.

Eddie Bauer Guide Pro "slim fit". The regular is too baggy for the taste. I wear them every day... to work and the woods. I'm wearing them now actually.

See, I'm chubby, so slim is likely not for me!

Outdoor research ferrosi are my favorite warm weather pant. Pockets are kinda small but no complaints otherwise.

I wear Prana Zion most days I wear pants! Rarely wear jeans anymore and have a couple pairs I use for hunting, hiking, fishing. They fit me like a glove and have held up way better than I ever thought they would.

Typically find em on sale for around 50 bux, I think on backcountry.

Same. I bought a pair from Walmart a few years ago and a week later went back and bought 5 more pairs in random colours and 2 pair of the fleece lined ones for the really cold days.

OR Ferrosi for warm weather, Prana Zion for moderate temps. Neither are necessarily a “budget” option, but sales and discounts are easy to find for both.

I wear either those two for 90% of my outdoor recreation and have no complaints at all.

The OR Ferrosi material is excellent but the cut of the pants wasn't great for me but I'm a bigger guy and not OR's target market. I love the OR Ferrosi Hooded Jacket though. They make good stuff and have a great warranty.

I've had good experiences with Marmot Scree pants, some Mountain Hardwear styles, Patagonia Field Pants, Eddie Bauer Guide and Prana Stretch Zion. The Wranglers are great for the price point and comfortable but have their shortcomings I use them mostly for scouting and non-hunting activities.

Check thrift stores. Can usually find something. Good place to look for wool and fleece. I used to hike in a pair of lightweight unlined wool slacks. They were super comfortable, lasted about 2 years and cost be 10bucks.

Im a little buddy too. They make them in both slim and regular. I had the regulars at first but I didn't like how loose they were around my boot.

Black Ovis (Comfire) or as said Costco always has different brands.

I snagged a pair of the Walmart Wrangler variety. I'll give them some time, but for $21, I think I did just fine!
