Who in your opinion puts out the best quality pants for turkey hunting? Preferably in Bottomland or Greenleaf.

I have worn out 2 sets of pants directly from Mossy oak in the past two seasons, they are just cheap material and cheaply put together. Buttons don't hold up etc. I just purchased a leafy jacket and head gear from North Mountain. Hopefully, it can last me some years, I am looking for pants that will hold up like a good pair of jeans would. Really don't care what they cost if they are going to get me 10 years of usage.

I was in this position several years ago and went with Sitka Mountain Pants. Priced like a high dollar box call but perfect for me. Stretchy material with lots of pockets with good zippers and snap closures, no velcro. After 5 or 6 years they show little sign of wear. Not gonna find them in your camo patterns.

Different camo patters that I have grown the like but I love the way Kuiu fit, great button, very durable, and a great fit. Going my fourth season with them and they are holding up great.

THANK YOU!!!! Great suggestion. They where discounted down on the website for the relaxed fit at $74 and there was a 20% off code online T22PC11 if anyone else wants to use it. Got the pants ordered for $63.88 shipped.

I got the full set of duluth bottom land camo during the holidays.   Incredibly well made like the rest of their stuff.  I have worn the more expensive brand (not naming names). It didn't hold up and the pattern is horrible for Eastern North Carolina.

Don't get the relaxed fit. Get the standard. Relax fit is super baggy. I love these pants.

For lightweight pants, I love Nomads Stretch Lite Pant. A pair will run you $100 but i find them on sale pretty regularly for $50 to $75.

Bass Pro Shop's Silent Hide pants are some of the best I've ever come across.  Very well made and with good pocket snaps.  They are in their propriety True Timber camo patterns, but they have one that is very Mossy Oak Obssession like.

Mossy Oak brand offered pants that I think were outstanding.  I don't see those exact pants on their site anymore.  I think they were unlined Cotton Mill 2.0.  They are outstanding as BPS Silent Hide, and had a little, grippy, soft rubber strip on the inside of the waist band that helped keep them from slipping down.

As far as durability the surplus bdu's with cross stitching have stood up and are pretty cheap. Bought a pair of carhart pants in advantage last fall and they held up great through deer season and fall turkey. I'll get several years out of them.

Not bottomland but I'm a fan of kuiu katana pants and pattern which are well suited for warm active hunts. also like first lite sawbuck pants if you're hunting in thicker areas

Ol' Tom Bottomland pants. They have a stretch material, padded knees  and real nice pocket setup. They wear like iron, have used them for few years now. Good thing is they do not fade when washed, and shed water somewhat....

I've been wearing a pair of Nomad Stretch Lite pants for a few seasons now and they have held up very well. I wear them deer hunting also so they've gotten a lot of use. For a lighter weight hiking style pant they are great.

I wore Sitka pants for the first time last year.  They are shredded from walking through greenbriar.  Normal turkey hunting here in the south and absolutely feel apart.  I called Sitka and they sent me some patches.  Terrible pants.
