This guy knows. Even up here in the PNW thorns end up damaging any gear and no need to spend $50 on the same crap.

looks like they still sell these at my Costco, and was thinking about picking up the weatherproof vintage tech pant and doing the same

Came here to say the same. Silver ridges are my goto right now, for the same reasons. For all the pants, make sure you’re using synthetic material underwear.. otherwise you’ll stay wet

Check out Walmart, wrangler outdoor cargo pants. They are 96% nylon and 4% spandex, different sizes and colors, might have your size. $23.

@@larryelkington4639I second this

patagonia swiftcurrent wet wade pants for me as well. i've noticed that the material can sort of "catch" water when it's wet, but just give the fabric a tug and it dumps out. just yesterday when getting out of the river, the cargo pocket was full of water as i crawled up the bank. took awhile for it to all drain out. i still love 'em though

If these videos weren’t recorded way in advance that might make sense. Just good for thought.

Could just go with the running pants. We won't judge.

Just get some backcountry skinz 😂

My son is a big fan of those.

Eddie Bauer Guide Pant Pro come in long. I have some tall friends who really like them. I like them too, but in regular. They are not specifically "quick dry" but are reasonably water resistant and dry quite quickly in my opinion.

One of my favorites

There is a link in the description.

Probably just best to use waders in that case.

Ditto on that, my feet won’t tolerate soaking for an extended period. Macerated skin can lead to some very nasty blisters. Zip front waders can be much cooler than regulars if worn open. Expensive but worth the cost in my case.

@@myrlstone8904 yea just too hot in most cases.. somebody needs to come out with a thigh-high waterproof sock

@@BigDoeJ424 I’ll relate a very ugly personal experience. Macerated skin on the bottom of my foot and big toe led to some very deep blisters. Just how deep, I didn’t realize until they failed to heal properly. This ultimately resulted in an antibiotic resistant bone infection in my foot. This led to amputations after antibiotics were exhausted, first the big toe, then another toe, then another, then a metatarsal bone. Doctors warned I was in deep trouble if it could not be stopped. Obviously I’m still here, but the ordeal robbed a year from my life. It was opined that the open wounds being submerged for an extended period may well have been the source of the infection. It seems there are some antibiotic resistant naturally occurring bacteria in soil etc. I find that opening the front zipper on zip type waders gets rid of about half of the hot factor. You’re right there needs to be a less costly solution.

@@myrlstone8904 holy smokes man, thats crazy. So that was from fly fishing wet wading??

We finally started feeding Brigham high protein meals.

Walmart or Target pants will work just fine. Any old pair of nylon hiking pants will work fine.

Haha dude what

The amount of times you have commented about this is second to none. We appreciate you making sure we look cool fishing 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

@@FlyFishFood I’m waiting guys. Please leave the fly shop - at the shop, and wet wade for reeeeeels!!

@@ruebdogg1 you must not watch many of our videos pard. Also. Please send written instructions on what is acceptable to take on fishing trips. Apparently we’re doing it all wrong.

@@FlyFishFood bring the Cheech’s boat, Brig’s backpack, and your drink of choice. Kidding aside, Pretty please, a video wet wading this summer without waders 🙏 🥺 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/acyUd6p1tNjRm58.html
