So, I recently bought some khakis from Target....Wrangler ATG pants (I think they're intended to be like lightweight hiking/leisure pants.) They're 5-pocket, like a jean, but they're really lightweight, breathable and stretchy. They're also not real baggy...not "skinny" by any means, but not baggy at all, which is a problem with a lot of hunting pants. They are, far and away, the most comfortable pants I've ever worn.
Anyway, it got me to thinking, does anyone make any camo hunting pants like this? If Wrangler would offer these in camo, they'd be the ultimate mid/late-season turkey hunting pants.

Walmart had some stretchy mossy Oak camo cargo pants in their camo clearance at my local store. Got a pair to try this year. They look like they'll eitherbs the most comfortable pants ever or possibly the worst idea ever if they don't breathe as intended.

I also discovered the miracle of "flex fit" wrangler jeans & khakis (my wife says women have known about this for 10 yrs...lol). 2% spandex is awesome.
Flex fit camo would be great. I've worn a Cabela's pant with a flex waist that are very comfortable.

Wrangler does make a woodland camo pants that are 88/12 nylon or close to that. I killed two turkeys wearing them last year. I'm so frustrated with the pants options I've looked at. My favorite pants are a Kuhl Renegades and Prana Zions. I would pay serious money for some bottomland renegades! I haven't tried the ol Tom pants yet but they might be good.

When its hot and i am not brush busting I wear Prana stretch Zion pant. I just bought them in olive drab and the turkeys don't seem to mind!
Most comfortable pants I own, I have 4 pairs that I wear casually. As I said they are not for brush busting!

Not cheap but First Lite Corrugate guide pants are awesome pants for turkey hunting. Light, durable, breatheable and 4 way stretch and the best camo pattern on the market. Ive had green briars poke through them on occasion but they didnt leave any tears or thread pulls.

I ordered some bottomland pants from academy this year and they have a decent amount of stretch to them. They're the most stretchy pants I've ever owned but I usually try to avoid stretchy. I really like these though. They're called Magellan Hill country twill pants. If you have an academy close by check them out.

I got some under armor pants last year. They are Forest camo, uninsulated. They are the Storm Model. Stretch material, smooth and water resistant. Best pants I found yet. If you do get wet, they dry quickly. Fit comfortably. Good luck....

I usually try to avoid pants with cotton. Once you get wet it's like walking around in a wet towel. The nomad blood trail look interesting but they're in the 50ish% cotton range.

I haven't tried those, but I tried some of their Tibbee pants and those were the most ill-fitting pants I ever tried on in my life. They weren't even remotely accurately sized, based on their sizing chart, their inseams are intended for someone who is 6'17", and if you pull them up high enough where the crotch isn't sagging, the waistband would be well above your belly button.
That really soured me on their stuff

Carhartt makes some. The double front non-camo version are my favorite pants. They're regular fit and keep the briars off my legs, but are more comfortable than the old cotton duck.

Best I have found are Sitka Mountain pants. They are expensive but I believe they are the best hunting investment I've made in years. Many zippered or snapped pockets (no velcro) with removable knee pads and as comfortable as your favorite pair of sweat pants. I'm on my knees alot getting in and out of my turkey lounger so these come in very handy. Take the knee pads out for early season deer hunting. I decided to buy a few less turkey calls and upgrade my hunting clothes.

I have an older pair of redhead pants that are super light and thin that are perfect. I cant find them anymore.
I think walls made a pair that was polyester that were very light and thin.
The OL Tom tech stretch pants are fairly light... and pricey.
I am always trying to find a light breathable pair of pants for hunting in Florida.

Blake is spot on. Last February Massey posted Academy had a 50% off sale on their camo and I bought a pair of the Magellan Hill Country pants. Blown away.
Quality and fit is way better than MO which I have been wearing for years, better fit, stretches in the waistband, quality all around. I found the MO faded pretty quick, haven't washed these enough yet to see if this Magellan brand holds the dye better or not. Even if they fade quick, they're still better constructed and more comfy.
Thanks to Greg's post last winter, I'll be wearing these Magellan Hill Country pants here out.

The wrangler ATG come in 3 different weights (light, mid, & heavy) with the mid & heavy having a fleece lining. Absolutely the most comfortable pants I own. More comfy than my sitka pants. For $25 to $45 they are a bargain. I too have always camo'd out from head to toe but notice that the solid pants don't seem to bother the turkeys. Being still is the best camo!

I second this, although both the firstlite fusion and kuiu verde patterns work great for turkey hunting. But solids will too.

First Lite Guide Pants are really good. You can buy them in camo but I got them in green and hunt with them. I find camo on the upper body is more important than on my legs. I also like the Prana Zions. Both pants are really comfortable.
