Cold Damp Butt

[eai2l]

Was shopping for something to keep my butt (the rest of my legs don’t get as cold) warm and dry like the KUIU merino zip off bottom or the First Lite Fuse Boot Zip pants and came across these which seemed to address my problems more specifically: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zipshorts/zipshortstm-padded-never-again-cold-and-wet-butts
Anyone know of a similar product available in the US?

I use puffy pants (FL) and a $6 sit pad from Walmart. Works great

Thanks for the reply! Are you using one of the insulated bibs? All of the FL pants I see look like they’re more of a shell except for the merino pants

I always wear my Sitka rain pants when it's wet. They also do a fantastic job of cutting wind. I always wear multiple layers that I can adjust depending upon how active I am. It's just as important not to sweat much before you sit for long periods. If you sit for long periods it may be worth carrying a thin pad to sit on?

I use the uncompahgre, only for cold set ups where I’m glassing on the side of the mountain or sitting in a tree stand these are for sure not pants for a lot of moving around. Not only will you overheat but you’ll shred the pants in any kind of cover

I always carry a little piece of foam to sit on.

Thermarest Z seat or cut up an old Thermarest pad.

Thermarest z seat. If really windy or cold, I’ll either wear Sitka timberlines pants or throw on my rain gear pants.

+1 on the Thermarest Z seat. Small, light, comfortable, kept my pants dry and warm.

I used it on snow, rocks, wet grass for a week in Sept and a week in Nov this year. Temps from the teens to 65°. It added a significant amount of warmth and comfort. It will be in my pack for every hunt now.

On warmer days, it will probably be easier/quicker to use than putting on an additional layer. Also, its easy to store it on the outside of a pack.

 

[Honyock]

Thermarest Z seat ($16) or a black trash bag.

Thermarest z seat. If really windy or cold, I’ll either wear Sitka timberlines pants or throw on my rain gear pants.

This except I use a Helinox chair.
