Highest quality for lowest price. I prefer solid, but will take camo if the deal is right.

Camo. Why wouldn’t you want to break up your silhouette?

I really like the wrangler pro rodeos, but sometimes slip on a pair of George strait's when the picture may be worth a thousand words

As long as they're made out of the right poly material, super-lightweight, they fit right, and are long enough.........I don't care what color they are (within reason). Haven't found anything even close that meets those requirements except my old Microtex Lite pants, which happen to come in camo.

Prana stretch zions for me this year...love them! Comfy with a DWR coating. I do have some sitka mountain pants in camo but those are for later in the season. I don't think camo is important at all really, but it looks cool!

2nd year with these and don't see myself ever using anything else in warm weather.
The zioneer? Pants, same but without the cargo pocket, built in belt and slimmer cut is my go to work/casual pant. These things are the best!

Camo is great until you move. Animals are way more sensitive to movement than pattern. Once they see you moving, camo doesn't really matter. It might give you an edge here and there, so why not if you like it.

Why would you hunt without camo????? Deer hunt with orange camo, I fish with camo, I camp with camo and drink with camo on. Does that make me weird or a hillbilly. Lol

That depends, do you shop at walmart in camo?

One of the most successful elk hunters of my era. Showing off what he wore most of the time. That said, when bowhunting I normally use camo head to toe

The funny part is that he started “endorsing” different camo brands and they would have his picture in the ad:.........in a plaid shirt and blue jeans! I wrote and told him it would be more effective if he was actually wearing the product he was endorsing. Shortly after that the pictures had him wearing camo🤪

I run either mud colored Prana or Badlands in camo. Depends which one is clean I guess. Both are cool/warm, easy to walk in and not crazy expensive.

Using terrain/flora so you don't have an outline works better than camo ever will. I don't think camo does much of anything. That said, I have both camo and solid pants. They were chosen based on comfort and function rather than color.

Agree 100%. My son and I wear the Eddie Bauer guide pants in tan, green or grey. They fit great and stretch in all the rights places for a fraction of the price of the big name Camo companies.
