Recommend me new mid-late season pants

[skip189]

Axis Hybrid are my late season go to pants. Just shot a couple cows in below zero weather with high winds and had just a light merino base layer under them and wind nor the cold was problem. Seem very true to size also.

Update on my situation - I obsessively researched for a week or so and stumbled across the Kings Camo XKG Lone Peak pant the other day. Fleece lined, side zips, stretch, wind/water resistant, and comes in solid colors and short-er inseam lengths (who the hell has a 34" inseam?! ) because I didn't want to hem pants after buying them. Kings seems like a brand that doesn't get the recognition they should. I figure why not try something besides the big guys, right? Best of all, they were between 10-30% cheaper than the other options being tossed around in this thread and I could order them on Amazon using some gift cards, bringing my out-of-pocket cost down to basically free.

They should be here Saturday and I'll report back on initial impressions. Deer is done here in PA, but winter small game/predator is good until the end of Feb for some actual field testing.

Kryptek Einar Windsheer pant. Discontinued but you can still find them steeply discounted. Removable knee pads and suspender capable. Wind proof and water resistant

Kuiu Talus pants would be my #1 followed by the Guide Pants as #2 if I were hunting the conditions you described.

Axis hybrid is my pick. Wore mine and a pair of timberlines on a cold, snowy hunt last year. The axis were much better at keeping me warm and dry. The option to dump heat through the hip vents was helpful too.

The option to dump heat through the hip vents was helpful too.

This was a huge factor for me. Having only recently discovered vented pants, I can't go on living without them. I simply can't!

I'm half tempted to modify all my jeans and add them.
