Cabelas microtex pants
« on: October 11, 2009, 03:51:58 AM »
I ordered a pair of microtex pants from Cabelas and they are very comfortable. I wore them yesterday hunting and they are quiet and soft. How durable they are in thorny brush I can't say. I really like the outfitter camo pattern Cabelas has.

I've had a pair of microtex pants in outfitter camo for three years now.  They are very durable in the tough oakbrush and mountain mahogony that I hunt Colorado in.  They are quiet, especially after I put some plastidip on the bar tack/rivets that my rifle stock would rub on making man sounds.  They are cut large and are not especially ergonomic for a slim guy.  That said I bought a pair of Sitka Gear Ascent pants with four way stretch nylon in optifade camo.  They are the most comfortable and quiet pants I've ever owned and they are the ones I wear first, at twice the price of the microtex pants they had better be.

Both are synthetic and dry quickly.

I have a microtex shirt that has given very good performance over 3-4 years. But usually I have some sort of coat over it.  Have wondered about the pants.  The shirt is a lot warmer than I expected from the catalog copy. I wear it a lot in the winter over poly pro base layer.  Its almost too hot for a lot of summer activities or early fall hunting.It is quiet and seems very sturdy.
