    Default Briar Pants/Cruising Pants

    Those of you that are in the woods all day cruising, surveying, and what not. What are y’all wearing pant wise? Just starting a new job and will be cruising timber at least 4 out of 5 days for the first 3 months or so. I’ve got plenty of lightweight carhartt stuff but the tract I’ll be working is thick! So looking for something lightweight but tough.

    I always carried a pair of chaps in the truck for cruising. That being said, I'd rather take 6 to 8 swift kicks in the nuts than have to put one more plot in on a cruise line.

    The carhartt thicker pair work very well in my opinion. The thinner carhartts won't stop briars and don't last very long. The chaps and briar pants and similar stuff get to be leg ovens in the summer. Light and tall boots help as well.

    The Lite carhartt pants are about all I can stand when it gets hot. Carhartt use to make the lite weight pants with a double front. They were awesome but I think they quit making them.

    All you need is a compass like Santee11 has. It navigates you around all the briar patches between plots. The filson tin chaps are about the lightest thing I’ve found, but still hot as the devil in the summer. Best advice is light pants with a snake boot or gators and just muscle through it.

    I found some lightweight double fronts I believe I’m gonna order and try. That with snake boots and I should be good to go.

    I have never seen a briar patch I could not bypass.

    Briar pants and chaps make for a miserable day when it's above 80. I just wear regular carharts and beat my way through or try and 90 around in the summer.

    I have been wearing diluth trading armachillo pants during the hot months to survey, the last three years. If you are looking for something a little thicker the firehouse work pants are a little thicker and they are what I wear from October to thru April. There is not a more comfortable pair of pants on the market than theirs. I gave my carharts away when my wife got me diluth.

    I'll second this. Once they get broken in, their pretty damn comfortable and not as hot as you'd expect.
