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.

Wow! You are not kidding. I just got my pants today and they are way better than the ones I’ve paid four times as much for. Not only are the the most comfortable pants have worn but I was able to find 36 x 34 which I’ve been notoriously hard to find previously. Thank you!

Picked these up at Walmart yesterday based on your review...I figured for $22 not much to risk trying them. They feel awesome! Haven't had a chance to test their durability yet, but if they last, this will be one of the best value for money clothing buys I've seen. Thanks! 👍

Drew! I got my Wrangler’s! Much better made then any of the other high end pants I’ve bought. They work great for wet wading. Would not have known without you. Many Thanks!

I have been using these for hunting the last couple years. Nice to see others discovering them.

You know what's funny about this video. I literally just bought these this weekend. And was telling my wife about how they'll make great hiking pants.

If you read all of these reviews, you probably realize these are really great pants. I spent 10 days in Colorado wet wading every day and I wore the same pair of pants. They hardly seemed to get dirty and dry really quickly. Thanks for the recommendation, Drew.

My son told me to get these pants. He wore them when he worked 2 years for Conservation Corp on a river crew. Absolutely my favorite pants ever. I worn them to work teaching too before I retired.

Great stuff! I just bought a pair of these wrangler randomly at Target for $20! I loved them so much I went back and got 4 more pairs! They are more comfortable and dry just as fast as any $100 top end brand pant. Wear them daily for everything!

Drew I been wearing these pants for about 3 years now... I love them as well... good choice!!

I absolutely love these pants! I have worn them for 8 months and have no issues with them, they beat the dog out of $80. 00 versions.

Best pants, hands down, for hiking and fishing. I’ve been wearing them for 2 years now and I love them. I’m a bigger guy so the stretch is fantastic.

I bought some today at Walmart and they are well worth $23! Thanks for the video.

These are my favorite pants. I wear them everyday for work. They have held up really well, and you can't beat the price.

Completely agree on these pants, I have a few pair and I love them.

Agreed! I have about 4 pairs of those. I wear them to work, fishing, in the garage, etc. Completely replaced denim for me.

I bought a pair of these a couple years back cause I needed a quick clean pair between jobs...I loved them so much I went back 2 days later and bought 4 more pairs. Best pants I've found for under 80 bucks and they were 19.99 at walmart!!!

Yes!!! I bought these months ago for work and they are great!! I like the cotton ones much better though... but the synthetic are good too (if you like that "Zip! Zip!" Sound when you walk).

I’ve been wearing these for a while now. Best all around outdoor pants I’ve ever worn!! Especially for the money!

I own two pair and they have been great hiking and all around outdoor pants. I was wade fishing in them this morning in the Gulf of Mexico.

I’ve been wearing these pants for many years. They are the best pants for any type of outdoor activity. I also have the shorts version and they are great. I hope Wrangler keeps making them.

I've had the same Wranglers for a few years and have beaten the crap out of them. The fit is perfect, they dry quick and with a pair of cheap compression pants I can hike comfortably in sub zero weather.

Hey Drew, after seeing this video I went out and got me a couple pare and you are right, they are great, Thanks for the tip. See ya on the water.

The gear reviews are awesome.

Just discovered they make our favorite pants fleece lined. Ordered a pair today. I think they will be perfect to wear under waders on cooler days.

Yep I’ve had a pair of these for a while they’re great.

Dang good pants! I reviewed them in '18 and still wear the same pants. Perfect weight until the summer kicks in. Wrangler also makes an awesome brush busting pant as well.

Agreed. I use mine wet wading quite a bit as well !! Great pants for the price, I hope they stick around a while in Wranglers line

Have every color they make. Love them.

The ATG line for $35-$40 is a nice upgrade from the outdoor line. Basically the same materials but higher quality and a better cut IMO. I would highly recommend the ATG pants.

Good points and a sensible recommendation 👍

Thanks man! I need to get some new fishing pants, so I'll give em a try. Tight lines!

Thanks Drew I was one of the people who asked about pants👍

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.

Yep. I have some of those (and a ton of other outdoors pants) and they're as good, if not better, than all of them. Super comfortable and perfect for being outdoors. Also, if you're driving a long distance, they're not as constricting while seated for long periods of time.

Agreed, I love those pants

Definitely going to checkout those pants!

I have the same Wranglers from Walmart as well only without the zip off legs. They are very comfortable and are a great overall outdoor pant. I also found a similar Wrangler pant at Walmart that were polyester fleeced lined that make a great cool and cold weather pant. I those for early season kayak fishing or boating and I often wear them under my waders when wade fishing in the winter. If I remember correctly, they were about $25 a pair

Agree. These and 5.11 Tactical pants are great. The Wrangler price can't be beat.

I've got a few pair and I love them.

Mine is 3 years old and i use it heavily on mountain biking...They are durable and comfortable. I have 3 colors👍🏼👍🏼

I have a set of these that look slightly different. They are like a fitted sport pant with the seemed in knee, sewn in belt plus belt loops, and Jean style pockets, but no cargo pocket. I thought I was nuts loving these cheap pants so much.

I have been wearing these pants for 5 years now. They are super comfortable, they stretch and dry very quickly. I actually like these better than my Columbia pants of the similar design.

Excellent tip. Thanks

Based on your review, my husband and I both bought a pair this past week. They are very comfortable. Looking forward to trying them hiking. Price is going/ has gone up to $22.98. However, our Walmart had not removed the old price tag of $21.92 so we got them for the lower price. We also bought the same style shorts.

LOVE those pants!

I have to agree with your choice in pants. I was skeptical at first because they are sold at Walmart and the price. But like you I've been very satisfied with them. Surprised actually.

They pack well also I grab a pair every time I travel

I have a drawer full of those pants. I've been wearing them for a year and have no complaints.

I have a pair of those and I love them for hot weather outdoor activities

So I'm a land surveyor and I will say these are great for the summer. The only draw back is the nylon is susceptible to rips from thorns walking through brush. They definitely do dry quick and are lightweight. They also make a winter version that's fleece lined and great for the winter months too.

I use these pants at camp once the day is done , very comfy , stretchy material - I would prefer them to be relaxed fit and or at least not straight legged - After your review I'll wear them on the trail - Good info sir 👍

Been wearing them for 4 yrs now , my go to everything pants ,just put the Costco 32 degrees thermals for colder days ,killed a nice muledeer in a pair this yr ❤️👍

Very true. Price goes up.

I have 2 paris of those pants and I agree they're super comfortable. It would be nice for a few more or bigger pockets and they're not great for cold weather. But for the price I'd buy more.

That is exactly the ones I use, love pockets on leg. Use them only for fishing.

LOL, I just bought two pair for my husband a couple of days ago. He's getting ready to leave for a Florida trip. 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.

Thanks for the info. Idea for a vid on fly tying equipment taken on trip.

These Wrangler pants are my favorite for fishing and hiking for all the same reasons you listed! They have to be the synthetic material, which makes them dry quickly.

I have these. Purchased at target. Comfortable but not water resistant. Absorbed every drop of rain on first outing.

By far the best river pants ever. I have several pairs myself.

Guess I will have to hit Walmart and Target again to find some more of these, I have a pair of these that I have been wearing for two years and they are fantastic!

Great information!!

I wear these pants everyday to work in , I love them. I wear them year round under my carhartts during colder months. I have found that the different colors fit differently. I have a few gray pair that fit perfectly but a black pair the same size is a bit small.

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 have these and really like them, but cannot find them locally anymore. Thanks for the link!

Thanks, very helpful.

That's it drew, stretch and comfort, and definitely light weight. I mostly wear shorts, but the same still applies, and some common sense haha 😄 . Nice info. Until next time. 👍.

I have three pairs of those Wranglers and they are my favorite pants even over jeans. I know a guy that Hiked the Appalachain trail in a pair.

True that, I use these pretty exclusively.

Man, my wife brought two pair home last year. $12 each. Easily my favorite pants.

Hi Drew, thanks for the great videos, lotta valuable info on trip planning and gear. What communication devices do you use in the backcountry?

Good video, Drew. I know you where Orvis wading boots, but i'd be interested in the socks you wear, and if you size your boots much larger than your normal size.

I had some shorts like that. I had a shoe repair / Taylor add a snap on the pockets.

Denali performance pants at Sam”s Club, same nylon/spandex blend, fit great. I bought them for riding MTB, very happy with them….$13.

Great pants. I have 8 pairs. Only drawback is thorns.

I use weatherproof from costco and these. Granted I have two different versions of these from Walmart and target. Both are different from wrangler. Great value

I love these pants for summer wading and hiking. They are light-weight and durable. Best part is they are only 20 dollars. I have 3 pairs in the various colors. I also have a pair for winter that are fleeced line and they are great. Good video. Thanks for sharing. Happy holidays!

Ironic that I was just looking at these pants a couple days before you posted this video, picked up a pair this morning!

I have them in 3 different colors. They are awesome!

I'm a wrangler man, love there jeans, thanks

These pants are better than the $150 outdoor research I've had...I only get these for most of my outdoor adventures..and their fit is excellent..Wranglers been doing it a long time...for the money these things rock...only thing I have .. sometimes stitching in very small areas....bit the O Researchni had failed I think within 6 mos...these Wranglers the flex waist hikers is all I get anymore for most part..I getbthem direct ..have never we seen this model at walmarts.

Been wearing them for a year now. They hold up pretty good in a machine shop environment. Lately quality had gone down and getting same kinda rip in the crotch area. Other than that they're light and stretchy.

I got me a pair last month. I love em-except in the winter. Not exactly warm pants. I just put thermal long Johns under them for cold weather

I have a pair of these. Just one. But putting them on you could tell how light they are. I pour concrete they do fine there, in the woods hunting , and just wereing them any where . plus fishing. Good deal for 20 dollors

Thanks

Wrangler makes a decent product, have had these before, pretty good.

I have four pairs of these that I use for work. I’m a bread delivery driver, and these are great for climbing into the back of the truck and jumping back out. They stretch and move with you, not bind up in any way. Unfortunately, I got the last four pairs at the three different Walmarts that I went to. Even on the Walmart website, it was a no go. Too bad, because they really are good.

Thanks for your efforts to slow down while speaking. It helps me when you do.

The only reason I have not watched more of your videos is your rate of speech. THANK YOU for attempting to slow down! I'd like to hear what you have to say. Keep having fun and sharing with the world!

Just found a pair of these at the thrift store! Super score

I love mine✌️

Ty

Yep. $22 at Walmart. I have 5 or 6 pair. Comfortable fairly durable pant

Hey Drew. Great videos. Where did you get the blue and green shirt you're wearing in the video? Thanks.

I have several pair of these and wear them often. Just don't get them too close to the exhaust pipe of your Harley.

I have been looking for a good hiking/wading pants these look great thanks for the review. Drew will you do a video on your Go Pro set up. Do you use the waterproof case on your hat and if you do how do you get good audio?

Drew, just started following you in the last week and really like your content. Was doing some internet shopping and found a pair of Weatherproof Vintage Men's Tech Pant for 16.99 at Costco I'm going to try. If they don't work out I'll try these wranglers. We do a lot of wet wading in the warm weather so it's shorts typically. Been wanting to grab a pair of slacks for those walks thru the woods. Do have a question for you though. Do you find a lot of creeks or streams that aren't known for having trout? Watching thru your Missouri videos, sometimes I recognize the water and other times I'm trying to figure if it is Missouri water. I'm just wondering what percentage of water you've found in your research (watched the video) that are those little secret gems of the fisherman who looked further. Think we're headed down to Norfolk Dam in February. And congrats on the Missouri Slam. One of those things we talk about doing and never quite get around to it.

I work for wrangler, and all I wear outside of work is wrangler ATG

I bought three pairs of these pants and the stitching came apart on all three pair. I cannot believe that it has a tag wrangler
