What kind of pants do you guys wear for hiking/camping? I'm looking for something not too expensive and preferably slightly fire resistant. You guys always have interesting recommendations.
>>2869511If you really want to wear fr pants in the woods I would suggest going to the surplus store and buying fr acu pants. I have a duffel bag full of them in my shed.
>>2869512Really I just want something that wont melt instantly when an ember from a fire pops out at me. Also the only surplus store near me closed a while back which sucks.
Patagonia altiva (i think thats fheir name)OrPatagonia terrebone joggers in summerIf its too hot just some lululemon shortsI've worn my altivas on -10f weather, with a smartwool thick base layer. also I hate those faggot tik tokers with those retarded af pants, i would legitimately leave them to die if i ever see one out in the wild asking for help
>>2869511>slightly fire resistantnigger, why?
>>2869533For sitting around a campfire in case an ember pops out (this has happened to me before). But I might just go with my dad's advice and just get a cheap pair so if it gets holes I won't feel so bad about replacing it.
I've got some craghopper kiwis, the old style with the large pocket on the right leg and a generous cut so they don't look like leggings. You should learn to patch, OP. A small burn from an ember is easily fixable.
>>2869546>But I might just go with my dad's advice and just get a cheap pair so if it gets holes I won't feel so bad about replacingYeah thisEspecially if you regularly go off the path in thorns and bushes in the woods
>>2869511I just wear 16oz denim jeans (gustin)Not very good flexibility or for very high humidity but they are thick enough to resist thorns and they aren't going to melt through like plastic pants.
>>2869511Milsurp.
For all my work pants I basically just hit Tractor Supply/Atwoods or whatever your equivalent store would be and buy whatever's on sale. The Ridgecut brand at Tractor Supply is my favorite and they've got a good variety of styles.As for fr, aside from actual fr pants, a good rule of thumb is the more natural the fiber, the less likely it is to get holes from embers. Wool and cotton will smolder if a big enough ember lands on it but synthetics will just straight melt on contact.
>>2869511I wear my fjallraven pants. Barents pro specifically, though i hear the keb throusers are great, and they are streatchy. Barents are not stretchy, but its very durable and doubles as regular pants. You can make it more water resistant by layering on wax. It wont ever become fully waterproof, but goretex is poisonous and the g-1000 fabric used by fjallraven is good enough imo.Its pricy, but lasts a long time.
>>2869511during winter i wear brand name mountaineering pants with zipper ventilation holes on them and i carry pretty hefty down gear for those -30c days and ice fishingsummer i wear cotton milsurp
>>2869511When im working NOMEX Greens from either propper (meh but issued) or coaxer.When im thinking on my own time, mountain hardware zip offs
>>2869511>I'm looking for something not too expensive and preferably slightly fire resistantok so go to a thrift store and get a pair of literally whatever cotton that fits you and is mobile enough>wahh that's not what i meantyour pants aren't what's stopping you from going out retard
