"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!"
"Great pants that are light weight, keep you dry, and good ventilation. Hunting in rain and kneeling in wet grass, stayed dry entire time. Lots of pockets and leg ventilation is nice feature. Only down side I found is the front pockets are little bit tight to fit hands in and pull out an archery release."
"5'7" ish 180lbs Ordered the size I normally wear for jeans and it worked out perfect. Comfy and they do not slip down while walking. Used these during black bear hunting, broke the wind great and were quiet. Buying these and trying them out made me directly buy the matching jacket."
"These pants are true to size, not overly bulky, with enough stretch to be comfortable. Wore them upland hunting today and they kept me warm and dry while being quiet through the brush. Highly recommend."
"These pants seem to be well made. They are too noisy for my liking for walking in the woods but I will find some uses for them. If the fabric was quiet and they made sizes that were a shorter inseam I would be very happy with these pants. I want to give them a higher mark but they’re just not there yet in my opinion. Couple changes could go a long way."
"Love these pants, wore them on a 10 day hunt in Wyoming, was everything from rain to hot sun, the vents make it easy to shed some heat or pair them with some wool long johns if cold, they dry quickly if not saturated as well. Bout two pairs of solid and two pairs of summit camo. Great pants!"
"I have worn these pants probably 6 times now hunting in early archery season (end of August). They have held up great going through some of the nastiest thickest bush you can possibly think of where the elk love to live. I haven’t felt one thorn through the pants yet and I haven’t noticed any threads pulling out or rips at all. These are great pants, highly recommended."
