I had been in the market for a pair of hunting chaps since the opening day of pheasant season in my area. My legs had been shredded to pieces even through denim and I knew I needed a solution that let me get into the thick cover that birds love.
I chose chaps as an option so that throughout the season I could vary the weight of the pants I wore under them to remain cool or warm depending on the weather outside. That said, I wanted a pair of chaps that were heavy duty even if that meant adding a little weight.
These chaps fit the bill in every way. They are easy to get on and off even when the bottoms are covered in snow and ice. The brass hardware holds up better than any zipper. The loops allow for easy adjustment and I found these to be the perfect height. Most importantly, I walked through waist high briars and thorns and I felt like an absolute tank. I had friends following behind me, waiting for me to clear a path they were so good. I didn't feel a single prick all day and I can tell these are only going to get better with time.
