I choose my wading pants at Costco - I paid $9 for Union Bay tech pants and $14 for Weatherproof Vintage tech pant. I fish in the Sierras in California. They work great
This guy knows. Even up here in the PNW thorns end up damaging any gear and no need to spend $50 on the same crap.
looks like they still sell these at my Costco, and was thinking about picking up the weatherproof vintage tech pant and doing the same
Nice! I’ve been really liking the 686 Everywhere pants. They’re not fishing -specific but they work really well and are super comfy.
Great video. First time anyone has talked about wet wading pants in greater detail. Thanks! I need to try the Orvis Jackson Hole. Currently using Columbia Silver Ridge convertible pants. They are lightweight, dry very quick and at the end of the day i can unzip the lower pant leg and have shorts on the way back home or campground. The lower leg portion can be rinsed off separately since they tend to get muddy and dirty walking back to the truck. They dry quickly and can zip them back on.
Came here to say the same. Silver ridges are my goto right now, for the same reasons. For all the pants, make sure you’re using synthetic material underwear.. otherwise you’ll stay wet
Any pant can be sprayed with Permethrin to repel bugs. Sawyer makes a good one and can be purchased at Walmart. I spray all pants, shorts, shirts, and jackets.
I like the Skwala pol wading pants. They work great for me. Thanks!!
Speaking of jeans….I do a lot of survival stuff on my channel, one of the most important thing I’ve learned is the phrase “cotton kills” when it comes to outdoor clothing. Love my orvis pants! I’ve got both a pair of wet waders, and insulated ones that I wear early in the morning under my waders to stay warmer.
Great video! Hardest thing for me finding pants for wet wading has been sizing. I can admit I am overweight but the sizing some of these companies use is crazy. Always a difficult thing for me when it comes to techy clothing.
Check out Walmart, wrangler outdoor cargo pants. They are 96% nylon and 4% spandex, different sizes and colors, might have your size. $23.
@@larryelkington4639I second this
I'm wearing the patagonia guide water and the swiftcurrent wet wade pants. Both are very comfortable and dry quickly...
patagonia swiftcurrent wet wade pants for me as well. i've noticed that the material can sort of "catch" water when it's wet, but just give the fabric a tug and it dumps out.
just yesterday when getting out of the river, the cargo pocket was full of water as i crawled up the bank. took awhile for it to all drain out.
i still love 'em though
I like my Patagonia sandy k dry pants super quick dry and comfortable to wear out side the water.
Wrangler ATG polyester with spandex under 25 dollars comfy and dry fast.
my standard is shorts and an old pair of Chuck Taylors. But for salt marsh flats I’m looking for some pants. Good info.
Wet wading is not that big here in the UK, but I do do it a couple times per year. I have a couple of pairs of Simms G4 Arapaima. Great trousers, shame Simms discontinued them. Using them not only for fish but walking/hiking/trekking as well.
Use the Orvis Jackson and Duluth Dry on the Fly. Wearing the Jackson pants now fishing in the Black Hills on the way to Montana and Idaho. Duluth has deeper pockets better for keeping wallets, car keys and floatant. Orvis Jackson pants has an elastic waist band. Like both pants.
Got called out for wearing waders in the video a few days ago. Now you’re all about wet wading.
If these videos weren’t recorded way in advance that might make sense. Just good for thought.
Rivers in my area are lined by heavy brush and thick nettles but I gave up wading with pants because of current drag on the baggy legs. I may wade a couple of miles one way and the drag takes it’s toll. My current system is a pair of nylon shorts over a pair of heavy spandex running pants. This gives me protection if I have to get out of the water and freedom of movement with much less drag on my legs in the water. I’ll stick with this until companies start making wading pants with tapered legs which may be never.
Could just go with the running pants. We won't judge.
Just get some backcountry skinz 😂
When are you guys going to do a vid on the mop sculpin? Here’s your friendly reminder! Lol
What pants do you recommend when it’s a bit cooler. In between lightweight and fleece pants. Thanks!
Great information,I found a pair of Columbia Sportswear convertible,can if I desire to zip off the legs,most wet wading styles don't have the mesh briefs like a swim suit type,these do & great for staying cooler in hotter weather,great advice
My son is a big fan of those.
Sure wish these companies would come out with some tall sizes. Columbia is the only company that I can find that has quick-dry pants with a 36" inseam.
Eddie Bauer Guide Pant Pro come in long. I have some tall friends who really like them. I like them too, but in regular. They are not specifically "quick dry" but are reasonably water resistant and dry quite quickly in my opinion.
“Super heavy and soakey”. New technical terms for jeans.
Lance- what are the rusty brown cargo/bdu pants you’ve been wearing for years? I first noticed them in Modern Nymphing Elevated and I’ve seen them in a few videos since, but haven’t been able to figure out what they are.
Basket ball leggings with knee pads for kneeling or on knees ...with shorts...wading boots ...neoprene socks gravel guards pulled up ...
Eddie Bauer Guide Pro Pants
One of my favorites
Great video! This was very informative
Prices?
There is a link in the description.
Quick Dry Underwear is the real question.
I love my 4 stretch pants I wear them 365 days a year. I have 4 or 5 of them.
@flyfishfood do you have a solution for macerated feet? Some sort of waterproof sock? My feet get very pruney and skin is peeling off by the end of the day
Probably just best to use waders in that case.
Ditto on that, my feet won’t tolerate soaking for an extended period. Macerated skin can lead to some very nasty blisters. Zip front waders can be much cooler than regulars if worn open. Expensive but worth the cost in my case.
@@myrlstone8904 yea just too hot in most cases.. somebody needs to come out with a thigh-high waterproof sock
@@BigDoeJ424 I’ll relate a very ugly personal experience. Macerated skin on the bottom of my foot and big toe led to some very deep blisters. Just how deep, I didn’t realize until they failed to heal properly. This ultimately resulted in an antibiotic resistant bone infection in my foot. This led to amputations after antibiotics were exhausted, first the big toe, then another toe, then another, then a metatarsal bone. Doctors warned I was in deep trouble if it could not be stopped. Obviously I’m still here, but the ordeal robbed a year from my life. It was opined that the open wounds being submerged for an extended period may well have been the source of the infection. It seems there are some antibiotic resistant naturally occurring bacteria in soil etc.
I find that opening the front zipper on zip type waders gets rid of about half of the hot factor.
You’re right there needs to be a less costly solution.
@@myrlstone8904 holy smokes man, thats crazy. So that was from fly fishing wet wading??
good luck protecting yourself with wet wading pants lol
Easy to overthink this. Go into your closet. Find a pair of lightweight synthetic fabric hiking pants that fit you. Put on. Go fishing.
Tip: if you might go in crotch deep, no underwear. The personal parts you most want to dry will dry a lot quicker, vs even if you are wearing lightweight synthetic underwear. For sure no cotton underwear, you may never dry out!
That said, I do like the ankle drawstring, I have a pair of hiking pants with that feature.
holy crap. Yall are just pumping out the vids now what changed?
We finally started feeding Brigham high protein meals.
maybe just a pair of actual pant waders?
Wrangler Ripstop Cargo khakis - less than $25, and they actually fit. None of that $75 BS. Tight lines
As asked below, prices? A bunch of us can't afford the yuppie big name stuff.
Walmart or Target pants will work just fine. Any old pair of nylon hiking pants will work fine.
Columbia makes the best wading pants, the simms fall apart, don't support Patagonia and haven't tried skwala
Now let’s see you wet wade and leave the waders at home. Please no daisy dukes!!
Haha dude what
The amount of times you have commented about this is second to none. We appreciate you making sure we look cool fishing 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
@@FlyFishFood I’m waiting guys. Please leave the fly shop - at the shop, and wet wade for reeeeeels!!
@@ruebdogg1 you must not watch many of our videos pard. Also. Please send written instructions on what is acceptable to take on fishing trips. Apparently we’re doing it all wrong.
@@FlyFishFood bring the Cheech’s boat, Brig’s backpack, and your drink of choice. Kidding aside, Pretty please, a video wet wading this summer without waders 🙏 🥺
