Bulletproof in the washer/dryer, yet still wool so shed water well and stay warm when they do pick up some moisture. <br /><br />I don't like pants I have to baby in the wash so these work out really great. Picked up the tip from a Blacktail deer hunting book, I can't remember which one. <br /><br />I avoid jeans because of their moisture retention. I tend towards carharts when conditions permit, not only because they have more pockets and extra patches on the front of the legs, but because I've been wearing them at work for around 20 years and I have a lot of habitual motions associated with them that just work out in the field. <br /><br />I got a tip I haven't followed up on -- Duluth Trading Co. has carhart-style pants, but apparently they're even better. They're made out of more flexible, yet tougher material (I think fire hose material?), and they're gusseted, which is something I find almost essential if I'm not going to blow out field pants. <br /><br />But I haven't tried them yet personally, so who knows.Bpaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009087847894914228noreply@blogger.com
