Looking for some feedback on these now that some folks should have a full season in them. Mainly curious about the durability/construction and fit.

Thanks

I'm curious as well,I tried a pair on...They sure was comfortable !!!

I have hunted with mine probably 10 times (they are bottom lands and we had an early spring).  They have to be the most comfortable hunting pants I have ever worn.  They seem pretty durable and hold up much better than I expected.  I typically get two seasons out of a pair of standard cotton pants due to fading...I don't wash them, but dew fads them just as fast IMO.  I am willing to bet I get way more than two seasons out of them.

My only complaint is that they are what they are, light weight.  I tend to plow through briars and multiflora like a dozer.  My legs were pretty bad looking after the first few days.  Now this could be a downside or upside depending on how you look at it.  I run through everything, a few scratches don't bother me.  These things have held up well considering my style of hunting.

Crawling, thorns, rain, dew, washing multiple times, and generally beating them up and they still look new in box.
This year is going to suck!!!

Too lightweight and thin. Durability is not there for my style of hunting

I loved them and will be buying more than the one pair I wore most of the season.  They are super comfortable.  Heavier to me than a standard lightweight cotton pant.  I was worried the soft material would tear or have issues from briars etc. but through one season they did very well.  They quickly became my favorite pants.

When I heard stretch fit I knew they weren't for me.

Stretch fit makes me think Spandex and I'd look like a hippo in pantyhose in Spandex!

That was my knee jerk reaction as well, but I can assure you that they are anything but that.  Hands down most comfortable pants I've ever worn. 

I will also add that they are super quite.

I just went to their site and about had a heart attack, $90 bucks for a pair of pants? I simply can't justify that on my budget, not insulting them or you in any way, but I just can't do that in good conscience.

I tried a pair on at bass pro and left with em. Only hunted 3 times this season but wore them all 3 days. Very comfortable and quiet. I'm gonna get another pair of them. I recommend them

Keep watching their site this summer. They'll drop the price on all the turkey gear.

Consider this though.  I bought a full set of the Tibbee MO pants a few years ago when they first brought back Green Leaf.  I loved it at first and it was super cheap...like $50 for the full set.  Used it the following season and it was nearly faded to white.  I bought another set the next year (last second deal) and had exactly the same thing happen again.

The year after that, I threw caution to the wind and bought the MO Obsession Under Armor Storm 1 pants and light weight button up shirt (discontinued now).  I think I spent $125 on the full set.  I am on my third or fourth season with that stuff and it looks like it just came out of the box.

I fully expect the same results with the Nomad set.  No fading, decent construction, and super comfy. 

My only "negative" is the briar issue, but you will never find something that is both breathable and tough.  There will always be sacrifices.

But I still have stuff I bought at Wal-Mart in the 90's before my car accident that I used to wear constantly and not just hunting. I am not sure price always means quality is all I am getting at.

Nomad is offering 20% off right now...I highly doubt you see them get cheaper then that.

I ordered me a pair!!!
