"These pants held up all week during many miles and inclement weather. The only down fall was that I am 5’9-5’10”,205 lbs and had to get them tailored because they were too long. I have a 30 in inseam and I would say the standard length is 32in. No big deal, it was a small price to pay for quality gear."
"Amazing pants warm,tough,water resistant, comfortable, high quality zipper, wind blocking, ventilation control, perfect pockets, and really love the inside of the waist material it keeps the pants from moving around."
"I usually take a 33" waist in a pant. I ordered a 34" but they were way to big. Exchanged for a 32". They fit well for a pant but the waist wouldn't allow for a base layer and a shirt. Great looking pant though. The whole process from exchange to return was excellent. I have other Skre gear and love it. Just got caught up in middle sizing issue. All good"
"This is my 2nd pair of sawtooth pants and I love almost everything about them. They’re far more durable and burr resistant than any pants I have from the big dollar hunting clothes brands. For being so tough they’re surprisingly quiet too. The only minor issue I have with both pairs of trousers I own is with the side vent zips. I’ve learned that they open way too easy on their own. I’ll be climbing a hill and when I stop halfway up to rest, I notice one or both side zips have slid down just from the motion of walking. Other than this the pants are really great and I’ll be buying more for sure."
"Just completed the first part of my archery deer hunt in CO. The pants were tough, water resistant, and relatively quiet. My only complaint is that I am not nearly tall enough for the 34 inseam that came with the 40” waste so my wife had to hem them. No other complaints and will likely be replacing my old camo from another company with Skre in the future"
"I highly recommend the hardscrabble set! Its all true to size for me! Pants feel extremely comfortable and light. I do like the idea of the side zipper for breathability. Will defiantly be ordering more SKRE gear."
"Little smaller than true to fit but managed. Force me too loose that last 5 lbs before Elk rifle season. Stitches are good quality, material is soft and after a few days wearing them they are comfortable. If you were going to wear a base underneath I would up size."
"I got the 36s in Summit. Waist is a good fit, but they are on the long side. I may have to get mine hemmed by about 1. 5 inch (I'm 5'10"). I've worn them for a number of days birding and bird banding off trail and they're absolutely great. Light enough, good wind-breaking, nice warmth on cool mornings, and surprisingly comfortable on warm/hot afternoons. I haven't worn them enough yet to properly assess erosion resistance, but the waterproofing works very well so far. I'll be getting more from SKRE!"
"Bought hardscramble kit few years ago and lost a bunch of weight so I had to buy a smaller pair of these pants. Absolute amazing pants. Tough warm and very water resistant but not water proof."
"Bought these for my guiding season in New Mexico. 2 weeks in and they’ve been through hard deadfall trees, sliding down slick mountains, heavy rains. One wash later they look brand new again."
