Totally agree! Those Wranglers are my go-to backpacking pants. Wicking, water resistant, quick drying , wind blocking, great deep pockets in the right places, roll up cuffs (with snaps!), flexible, comfortable…The best feature, though, is the waist band liner. It grips so well that even with a heavy pack load, the pants won’t slip. If you hike regularly, you know how much that matters. Best twenty bucks on clothing you’ll ever spend. Good job.

Great timing on this video Drew. I’ve been rewinding your videos back and forth trying to determine what type of waders you were wearing for those 3 mile hikes to out of the way streams and just could never tell. Do you wet wade most of the streams you hike to in the Colorado and Wyoming summers? Can I ask what wet wading shoes you’re using and what socks? Do you hike back to the truck in wet socks and boots? Sorry for all the questions. Maybe these will be answered in the sequel.

I own 4 pair of Eddie Bauer pants that retail around $90-100 per pair (bought on sale). Totally love them and was going to try and find a couple for him. These are almost duplicates of the Bauer pants! No way, but I checked everything. Except for the heavier waistband and OMG giant button closure - the material is exactly the same. They're also double stitched and overlapped so they won't unravel. They are a bargain. Got his at Wal-Mart. Even the colors matches mine.

I've been wearing Wrangler pants for about 2 decades now. I agree with you on these pants, but they are my 2nd favorite from Wrangler. My favorite are the Rip-Stop version of their cargo pants. That probably has more to do with my size than anything because I'm a big dude. The cargo style gives me a little more room. We hunt and fish in these things with no issues. They use to be $17, but still well worth the money at the current price of $22-24. I wear these most of the summer wet wading as well and only use waders in bigger tail waters.
