Favorite Chaps/Pants for Snowy Cattails?

Have used Filson tin cloth and they are awesomely durable, but heavy. Still would recommend them if absolute durability is what your after. Turtle Skin chaps are awesome: super durable, waterproof and snake proof. For pants, this year I’m using Pyke gear and I they are awesome. There is good stuff for less money, but they are tough, fit well and are made in the USA. For late season you will want the Tongass or Northcut series. The Tongass are more water resistant and the Northcut are thicker and a little more durable/briar resistant. Both are great pants. I have worn the Tongass 90% of the season this year and have been very happy. For relevancy I live in and mostly hunt Montana, but try to take a couple trips to the Dakotas each year if I can.

Stick true to your Wisconsin Roots! Get yourself some of those burly, no frills wool pants (Big Bill and many others come to mine) and pound "the dark timber of upland hunting" til you heart's content.

The Dan's look interesting, 50 bucks seems like a pretty good price on them. I'd only be wearing them in the snow and cold. I pulled the trigger on some five star chaps, will have a couple weeks to try them out. If they're crap I'll just upgrade next year, but it's worth a shot; especially with it made in the USA.

They are definitely not crap. I’ve got a set of bibs and chaps that are over 30 years old, they used to be Wicks, but now are Dan’s. You will not be disappointed.

Ended up with the Dan's. Wore them this weekend and killed 3 roosters in fresh snow and was dry. So far so good.

Another fan of Dan’s Brush Buster chaps.
