Hey there folks, I'm in the market for a hunting pant that has reinforced knees and seat, preferably ripstop or another durable and waterproof material in those areas. Look to use it mostly for turkey hunting as I find myself on the wet ground a lot during that time and am looking for something to make it a little more bearable in the presence of all those sharp plants/weeds on the ground in the areas I hunt.
I've used the FL obsidians and corrugates and they're both great but leave something to be desired in terms of durability/water protection.
I'm open to Kuiu, FL and sitka.
Was thinking of the timberline from sitka or the talus from kuiu but was concerned that they may be too warm for the areas and time of year I hunt (northern ca in spring can go from raining in the 30's to 90+ degrees in no time).
Please let me know if you guys have any suggestions or experience with the pants I mentioned above or another that you think might fit the bill for what I'm looking for.
