So, has anyone done it? I have a couple of boys and want to get them into the back country with me and they're chomping at the bit to go. But, jeans aren't exactly high up on the list of good materials to take them in... And couple the price of gee whiz hunting clothing with kids who will wear them for a season, or two at max before they're outgrown, and there's no way I'm spending the cash on that. Plus, there's a lot of other gear we need to be safe and at least somewhat comfortable after hiking in.
So, now I'm thinking of making them clothes with good material that won't just hang onto water indefinitely like cotton. Has anyone else gone this route? Is there an obvious off the shelf choice I'm missing? If you've made some pants or other gear, I'd love to hear what materials you used and how you liked it and if you used purchased patterns or made your own. Thanks in advance for any help.
