Pants With Full Length Zippers.

[eaglemountainman]

I'm trying to replace an old pair of Carhartt jeans with full leg zippers that are just too worn out for another season. They don't seem to make them anymore, unless I want bibs, which I don't. I wear them over blue jeans and when I get back to camp, it's nice to be able to get them off over my size 14s. I also like the ventilation capabilities. I'm not into all the pricey, big name, high tech hunting fashions. I'm not looking for insulation since I stillhunt in mountainous terrain, although lined would be okay. Just a simple pair of canvas or other durable material (quiet would be nice, though I know canvas and quiet are not normally used in the same sentence) is all I need. Any suggestions? I've searched on Google using different key words and have come up with zip.

Still searching....am I the only one?

I have insulated bibs with full zippers for extreme cold conditions. What I'm looking for is light and medium weight pants that zip to the hip.

I don’t know any from the major hunting brands. Though they aren’t out yet, the first lite catalyst foundry appear to have them.

Their website says they are going to be for late season, which means probably a lot warmer than I'm looking for.

Thanks for the reply, though.

Just a thought, most alteration places (drycleaners usually do alterations or a uniform shop) could install a zipper for you. Then you could choose a pair of pants you like instead of having limited options.
