    Best pants

    So I know there are many threads about this sort of thing and I have searched many of them but they seem to be asking about a certain brand. I am just asking for your personal preference of all brands on a set of hunting hiking pants. I want them to be BREATHABLE LIGHT WEIGHT. (I will layer under them if I need the warmth)QUIET, WATERPROOF. If I was to sacrifice on one aspect I guess it would be waterproof. Although they would NEED to be fairly water resistant to a point.

    I was thinking about the Sitka pants but I don't think that they are waterproof? I was also thinking about RiversWest but I hear they don't breath well? Browning tend to be a little noisier.... I hate the Remington ones I have and don't wear them. Does anyone have any experience with any of the Cabelas line?

    I also got a bunch of UnderArmour gear for christmas. No outer wear but I am quite impressed with the quality. Does anyone have any experience with their outer layers?

    Open for suggestions.

    For me I like to wear Northface Convertibles. Durable, Light, Lots of pockets and they dry incredibly fast.

    They work pretty good for me while chasing sheep... And they also come with a lifetime warranty that not too many people know about.

    Roughly $100 a pair.

    browning.
    they are noisy but they are dry and breath.
    if you are going to sit in a blind rivers west are the best because they are hot.
    i have rivers west and love them for sitting and late season. But i ame going to buy browning as well for next year for the early season.
    i dont know that any one pant will take you from sept-dec. on our lovely island it is to wet and steep.

    I tried a set of the Cabela's lightweight packable rain gear... I really liked them BUT they are not tough enough. I managed to put three tears in the pants in one day of tough going! Pissed me off.
