34” inseam doesn’t do the trick. I need 36” minimum.
These are comfy pants, and do pretty well in the AZ heat. I can't compare the Wranglers to any other expensive brands, but these are the pants I buy and wear for everything but church and court. I don't think of them as loud, but I don't archery hunt.Wrangler Outdoor Zip Cargo Pocket Pants .... $20.00

Were the arborwear pants quiet?Prana zions when it's hot, Arborwear ascender pants for everything else. I've had some FL corrugate guide and obsidian pants that were quiet but they weren't durable enough to last more than 2 seasons.
Agreed - the Kuhl carhartt style pants are probably the loudest pants I have ever worn until broken in, which takes about a year. They start being quiet when they're almost wore outWhat model? I have the Renegade all-synthetic pants and would not consider them quiet. I also have the Rydr which are mostly cotton and they are extremely loud.
Those pants ripped on me the first day I used them. Horrible if you have any kind of brush to work through.First Lite Obsidian Foundry is a good option. Not going to be the most durable, though. Fjallraven makes a pant called the Barents Hunting line that could be a good option as well.
Which ones? He mentions two.Those pants ripped on me the first day I used them. Horrible if you have any kind of brush to work through.
I just looked up those Barents pro pants and there’s 2 models. The Hydratic pro says it’s “ Made from G-1000 Silent Eco fabric with a Hydratic liner that keeps rain out.”By far the quietest pants were a Merino pant made by firstlite. They aren't durable and the fit was pretty baggy but dang were they silent. Not sure if they have made them more durable or fixed the fit on them in recent years, or if they even make them anymore...
My go to now are Fjallraven Barents Pro pant. Not as quiet as those merino pants, but very durable and very well made. These Barents are still pretty quiet though and the fit is perfect for me.
I only really use the Barents for cold hunts now, Fjallraven makes a Vidda Pro Venitilated model now that I use 90% of the time. They aren't the quietest pant but I haven't had them blow any stalks yet. You really suffer in long lasting hunting pants when you go to "silent" materials. The G1000 eco that they use on these is extremely durable and completely water proof with their wax that they offer for the pants. Fit, finish, durability, and quality is unmatched in what I've used so far.I just looked up those Barents pro pants and there’s 2 models.

Is that the one you have? The other Barents don’t mention the “silent eco fabric”.
