I haven't heard of the other pants till I clicked the review above, but tin cloth is very different from what they are showing. I wear tin pants a lot in the winter and they would be miserable in anything other than really cold temps. They are also pretty heavy.

Tin cloth like the old filson waxed cotton stuff? No thanks. I used those for years, they are good in thorny brush but HEAVY, constrict your movement, requires real maintenence, not really that waterproof unless you really keep them waxed frequently, hot in warm weather, and ime wear out fast where it creases. I prefer a nylon material for brush pants.

I hunted rabbits in the tin cloth pants for many years. They will take a beating and keep you thorn free but as was mentioned they are very heavy and are not waterproof. If I was buying rabbit hunting pants now I would go the Forloh route.
