Pants for archery elk?

[Split toe]

Plan on hunting in Colorado/Wyoming in September. What pants does everybody like for that time of year? I’m not concerned about cost as much as I am quality. If it’s good stuff I don’t mind paying.

Sitka Apex...If it’s cooler, I like Sitka Timberlines.

I picked up the Apex this year and I thought they were perfect.

I will be wearing the new stone glaciers. They seem to be more durable than my sitkas but I am going to test them out and see how they work. They have a lot of neat features but time will tell if they replace my Sitka pants.

I wear prana zions almost everyday around home and work, and everyday I hunted this year. I like them a lot if you aren't tied to camo.

I like Prana Zions or FL Corrugate Guide

I wear FL Obsidians and have been very happy with them. Very lightweight and breathable but also provide decent warmth. They are a little fragile but I've been through some nasty stuff and they have held up well.

I used sitka timberlines, seem very tough. I really appreciated being able to kneel down on padded areas to glass, rest, eat, etc....
The water proof seat also proved useful for sitting on the ground.

Prana Zions are my go to choice. Wear the majority of the year, maybe a merino wool next to skin underneath for insulation when temperatures dip.

Costco travel pants or regular cotton short pants with a dark base layer.

This! I've went through the Kuiu attack, alpines, and tiburons. As well as the old Sitka ascents and mountains. So far the Apex kept me the most comfortable. I love to spot and stalk, so that's what they were mostly used for. The tiburons were the only ones that breathed better. The other ones I overheated in constantly. The alpines were nice, but I didn't care for the built in knee pads.

My 2018 Sitka Ascents were great this year in Idaho. Wore them in the 20s(hiking) all the way into the 70s. I like the fit better then my FL guide pants, although i wish the pockets were deeper. If warmer weather is likely id highly recommend them.

Browning Hells Canyon Speed. Pnuma gear lightweight pants. Kryptek Tora pants. All three are very good. The Tora's feel the best of all 3 and are very durable. Only one of the 3 that are considered all weather.
