I am looking for a good pair of brush pants. I've been through about 3 pairs in the last 5 years. They all have ripped and tore at the seams. I am not looking to spend a pile of money either. Thanks in advance!

field and stream just had some information. one colume was expensive (LL Bean) and the other was cheaper ( they were chaps, but cant recall what type

http://www.mulehuntingclothes.com/

check out the chaps...you won't rip these...

I was doing the same thing...until I bought a pair of Filson double tin chaps. They are indistructable. Will never go with pants again. Probably will not wear out the chaps

I like the llbean brush pants.

I found a pair of Wrangler Brush pants at a discount store for $12. I bought them and they have lasted me 3 years through some of the nastiest multi-floral rose patches I have seen
The internet has to have some cheap

Cabelas Cover Buster Brush Pants. They are Comfy to where and hold up real well. I have had mine 3 years now and still no tears or holes.

Do a search for Dan's hunting clothes. Their chaps and bibs are tremendous.

I found a paid or Ideal Brush Pants on ebay in my size for 9.99 new with tags. I guess they are made somewhere in PA. So I rolled the dice on these for the price??? Anyone heard or Ideal Co?

j have had chaps for five years and still are in great shape do alot of rabbit hunting in thick stuff

I bought a pair of 10x brush pants and think they are the best I have had so far.

Check out the Cabelas Briarguards. They are actually on sale right now too!!!

I am thinking of chaps. I looked at filson they are nice but very expensive (yeah I know you get what you pay for). Any other suggestions? I was looking at the bouble tin chaps that filson has

Filson chaps...it all depends on the kind of hunting you do.

Wow, Timber!!!

how old are they? Was that from green briars or barbed wire?

They're about 12 year old... But I also use leather chaps and Mule bibs,.

The chaps are fine for bird fields should last along time. Briars and time take its' toll. The chaps are waxed cotton. Tuff stuff but there is tuffer stuff on the market...cheaper too.

Not for nothing...but I've heard stories.

some one hold my flushing whip...

12 years of hard use for $130. I think that is money well spent. "owner of Filson Chaps"

Actually my leathers are older bought in the early 80's and in better shape.,, Mules have been in service for 8 years, not a mark.

I have alot of Filson Products boots to hats jackets shirts pants Game bags and field bag. They make some fine things. Filson is a fine company. I just happen to know there are better chaps on the market. That is the purpose of my post.

Filson chaps come in regular and long sizing. Mule chaps are custom measured length and thigh diameter. Excellent fitting. Forty dollars well spent.

Thanks for all the info fellas!!

Only wore mine once so no real feedback yet, except for I didn't get stuck at all and I went through some real nasty stuff that day.
At least for right now they're alot better than the field-n-stream's that lasted about 4 hours before tearing.
And they're on sale

I have Lion Country Supply warm weather chaps and Filson tin cloth chaps. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.

I have had my eye on Orvis chaps for a little while. A buddy of mine has them and loves them.

My Filsons get a bit heavy when walking through morning-dew covered brush. And the LCS chaps are noisy.

Roger that.

I use walls bibs and dickies reinforced duck pants , i hunt squirrels with dogs and always end up in the briars . got the walls about 6yrs and the dickies 4 paid 10 bucks each a k-mart on sale

Has anyone tried the brush pants from Pointer Jeans?

Another fan of Filson Double Tin here.

im believe the best briar clothing of all time was the wick bibs, but no longer in business. but i came across a co. in sparta tn. called d&r hunting supplies and they make to your order briar clothing exactly like the wicks.they have a web site also.

Anyone have any reviews on the mule briar pants? I'm wondering if they are really stiff. I hunt nasty pickers without a dog and I'm tired of ripping my legs up. I would love to see some pics of these pants if anyone has them. The website is not any help as far as a picture.

I don't have the pants; I have the bibs. I'll be hunting tomorrow with a guy who has the chaps and vest. I also have the coat and shirt. Don't know anyone with the pants. sorry

I just use carhart non-insulated bibs

I use the insulated ones in very cold weather myself. But they get soaked thru in dew or wet brush in warmer weather.

I have the pants. I only purchased them this year late in the season and had an opportunity to wear them twice. The are fairly stiff and seem like they will handle the heaviest briars. They are waterproof as well. I would have to say they would be alittle heavy to wear during warm weather hunting.I also purchased Mule's vest and shirt last year and both are pretty much briarproof.

Thanks for the reply

McALISTER WAXED PANTS , TOUGH AND WATERPROOF

Another vote for the Filson DoubleTins. Yes, they are expensive. But by far the best brush pants I've ever owned. I don't small game hunt anymore though. What size do you need?

I own filson brush pants as well, as long as I don't put on to much weight due to the wifes cooking they will probably last the rest of my life, I've already had them almost a decade, they are no worse for wear and I hunt thick stuff in small game and pushing for my dad and brother in rifle. They cost more but there worth it.

WefordBowhunter sent u a PM

like midvalley said, Wick made IMO the best briar proof stuff out there...

i got a pair of double thick chaps before they shut the doors...wish i got a jacket to go with it...

probably a good 4-5yrs on them and you can hardly tell i wear them...and i wear the snot out of them...small game and deer drives all fall/winter...and coon hunting in some of the nastiest stuff you'll get into year round...

usually just wear the chaps over my regular blue jeans...if its cold or i know things might be nasty i'll wear carhart pants with the double fronts for a little added protection or warmth if its cold...

thanx for the info on the other company midvalley...i might need another set of chaps in 20 years or so! would really like a good jacket though...

I like the Lion Country waterproof chaps, they keep me dry and hold up well to the briars. I also bought 2 pair of Wick's chaps when I heard they were going out of buisness, those wick's are probably one of the best.

Sailor. Didn't get your PM. I just looked in my hunting clothes closet to check on what size mine where, and couldn't find them. I'm sorry, I must have already given them away and forgot.

I am a big ( Heavy ) guy 255 lbs & 5 ft11' tall what size should I order in chaps for me.? As I never ordered any chaps before.? Lose Weight./ I KNOW I KNOW.

are the Carhart bibs Brier proof.?

You want to order chaps 2" shorter than your inseam. The other measurement will be your thigh size.

Filson makes brush pants as well. There are also nearly indestructible. I know, I used to hunt rabbits without a dog and did all of my own brush busting. You'd replace cheap stuff 10 times over before you wear out the Filson Double Tins. They are expensive, but spend the money and don't look back.

LL Bean has the brush pants on sale for $49 but it's hard to beat the double tin Filsons

I have a pair of Cabelas stone wall brush pants and they hold up well.The best brush past have a double layer of canvas.The cheap nylon facing doesn't cut the mustard.

i would like to know if there are any companies that make brush pants for big men. im a big man that likes to hunt small game but cant find brush pants to fit me. i need size 60. any info would be appreciated.

Filson does custom orders FYI and you could inquire at Mule as well...I know they never offered a waterproof bib till I asked for it they did it custom and now offer the waterproof version in bibs.

Good luck!

Mule does make big sizes. I know a guy last year won a pair at a trial that were size 52, and he only weighed about 150 pounds, we all got a kick out of that.

octagon, thanks for posting that website. i checked it out and was surprised to find that company carried large mens hunting clothes. again thanks.

You are very welcome Sir. I have to buy "fat" guy clothes as well It gets very expensive to say the least
