Quick questions for you guys...
I recently purchased a pair of Browning bottomland pants for spring time, I have purchased these pants several times and they have been my go to. This time I the sizing was WAYYY larger than usual.
It seems as most companies make pants for turkey hunters that are grouped into sizes like small (28-32) Medium (32-36) etc..
Would you guys be interested in a pant that sized more accurately like 30x32 38x34 etc? These would seem to have a more custom feel and would fit better. What is your thoughts on sizing for clothing?

Are they made in China .. LOL.. I like to eat, so i like lot's of adjustment .. LOL..
Yes! 100%! The correct size and 4 way stretch pants in bottomland . I would pay a premium for those.
Absolutely, my favorite pants to wear hunting now are Prana stretch zion, it is like they were tailored for me. I wear them daily as well. I wear olive drab for hunting.
I have wore them in January hunting mule deer, all turkey season and fishing, best pants I have ever owned!

My absolute favorite hunting pants. 38x34 for the win. Regular pants only come with a 32" inseam and I end up ripping the crotch out of them.

I just picked a pair of these up after being frustrated with the Browning pants I got. These are going to be some bad boys. The Kuiu Kutana pants are really like as well. They seem to be better constructed than the Pranas but I will be putting both of them to the test this spring!
Dark brown pants made by wrangler.
Personally a fan of the browning watsach pants or however they are spelled.I did buy a pair of the banded midweight technical turkey pants and I really like the layout and fit. I like the material used in the seat and bottom of the legs for repelling dampness. However I hate the material the rest of the pants are made with. Cotton or something quieter would be nice.

I dont know what the answer is. I would think manufactures find it difficult to make something that fits all sizes. The closest that I have found was military sizing. The best that I have found for myself is a pair of Mossy Oak Cotton pants with adjustable waistband. I have been wearing them everyday since last spring and they continue to hold up.

With the exception of a few higher end brands, I feel like most brands pattern clothing for heavier individuals.
The waists are too big. There's too much fabric in the quad area and they don't taper them down the leg.
I can easily cover 12-15 miles in a day chasing turkeys. I want technical pants that reflect an athletic build for an extremely active hunting style. The Banded Lightweight and Midweight Technical pants are the best I have found. Wish there were more options like them.
I'm going with first lite corrugate pants this spring. They fit, stretchy and dry fast. I'm sick and tired of the feel of wet cotton against my skin walking through dewy grass etc.
I have been shocked by the durability of the Prana pants, never though they would survive, but they have taken a beating! Not good in briars though, not that they get torn up but they are zero protection!

Too late! Definitely some areas where I will not wear the pants.
Wrangler ATG. They have 3 weights & I have all three. Love them! Stretchy with pockets. Anywhere from $25-$50. Most comfortable pant I've ever owned. They do not come in camo but olive or tan.
X2 used the Wrangler ATG pant last season and was pleased with their comfort and durability. I ripped the lighter weight version so went to the heavier set and had no problems with them. They are also priced right if you can find them. If this pant came in MOBL it would be my perfect pant.

I have good luck with Under Armour pants. I have a warm weather pair for winter hunting, and a lighter pair for Spring turkey. They size by waist and length, and fit real good. Not baggy at all. They fit exactly like jeans. You order 34-30, that's what you get....
Kuiu Attack and Kuiu Kutana. Pricey, but worth it. The Attacks are warmer, once it hits 70 degrees or so I'll switch to the Kutanas. I've went through a ton of pants over the years and these are by far my favorite. If you got beefy thighs, size up if you plan on wearing thermals underneath. I wear 32 or 33 in jeans but need a 34 in Kuiu pants.
As a bonus, if you live in the southeast, you constantly get people asking about that crazy camouflage you are wearing. :TooFunny:

I heard great things about Kuiu too....
Absolutely, I would love to see this happen! As someone who is less than average height at only 5'5", it's nearly impossible to find hunting pants to fit me, they are always way too long.
Dang Deerhunt i brought the Attack's so with our weather i can only wear them the first week? And i can imagine the comments if i walk in a store in Morton or Forest with that camo pattern on...

try the banded bottomland pants. they are sized the same way, but they also have a partial elastic band if you need to squeeze a little more room out of them. They are also doubled padded in the knees and but area so you don't get swamp but. These are the cotton blend version , cant remember the specific name of them because they make a few different sets of turkey hunting clothes but so far this set "shirt and pants" are probably the best set ive owned. This will be my third season in them with little to no fading, and they still have all the buttons etc. My only complaint is...the sleeves on the shirt are a little short even for me at a medium size. And I cannot button the top button on the neck because it is too tight. Most probably don't button it, but I usually tuck my mask into my shirt and button the top button when sitting and I cannot do this in this shirt. The reason ive always done this is because quite often the inside of a camo cotton shirt is white and when leaving the top button unbuttoned you have that little bit of white exposed. Also the shirt is vented like a fishing shirt and also has some stretch to it. its still relatively flat colored like cotton "no shine" but has the elastic advantages of a poly. I really like it. I got it on clearance, and will probably get it again. Its the only set of turkey hunting clothing ive owned that has been able to make it 3 seasons without fading completely out or having missing buttons.
I wear Pranas, Kuhls, and Wranglers a lot. I'd love to have those in bottomland. I did see some Nomad stretch lite pants in field and stream the other day and I'm thinking about ordering them. There's also the Ol' Tom pants which I haven't tried either. These two options are in the $80-$100 range.
