Alright guys, pants are the bane of my existence for the 1-2 times per year (or every other year) that I actually shop for clothes.
I’m 5’8, ~200# (probably will be around 190# by elk season) and usually fit 32-33 size waist in most pants. 30-32” inseam. Since this isn’t a dating site, I won’t even go into describing my butt, but it’s proportional to my thighs to say the least.
IF I can even find something that can fit, then it’s usually a compromise between thigh fit and waist/butt fit. And it’s usually the waist that gets the short end of the stick where I end up with 2”+ of extra fabric bunching up under my belt.
So stretchy pants have become a must! But I also don’t want yoga pants with cargo pockets. “Athletic fit” usually means “skinny fit” for me, so looking for something considered more “baggy” I guess.
So what are my options from the guys in the know?
Looking for something with these features:
- Stretchy
- Lighter fabric for moderate elk season temps
- Durable
- Solid color preferred (brown or OD even better)
- Cargo pockets that can actually hold sh*t
- Does NOT need to be a name brand hunting brand pant, fine if it is though
- Under $200 if possible. Brownie points if you suggest something cheaper
