Pants for Kodiak?

[rootacres]

Im not a stranger to western big game but I am trying to lineup my first kodiak hunt. Do you all wear your rain pants exclusively? Or abrasion resistant pants with gaiters? My main go to pant for ~November temp ranges on kodiak would be the FL Corrugate Foundry pant, but they can also get wet. My rain set is the KUIU katana. Im thinking I pant with belt loops to plan on living in out there would be better?

Maybe KUIU Yukon or SG M5?

I haven’t hunted Kodiak, but plenty of SE AK and Prince William Sound. So no stranger to brushy and extremely wet.
There’s many days you’ll live in rain pants, but also days you won’t want to.
I’ve come to like an abrasion resistant pant or softshell combined fishnets. Not a total solution for downpour conditions, but most of the time it serves me well. Got wrath of god wet it’s Helly’s Impertech or Grundens Neptune.

I’ve hunted Montague and Hinchinbrook islands a lot. If tenting it out there, I always brought two sets of rain gear. One Yukon set and a set of helly hansons. It’s nice to be able to hang your hunting rain gear up to attempt drying while in camp. Under the rain gear is whatever you wear hunting. I usually wear something like kuiu’s attacks.
