[@Rayman2185]

Jeans are cotton, and that is a real risk in situations that are wet and cold. Cotton denim will drain the warmth of you when wet, and will be all but impossible to dry in winter conditions. I use a down sleeping bag in winter, and down has the same risk. However, normal use does not have a down sleeping bag likely to pick up moisture from sweat or snow/etc. Jeans are tough, but in winter if you are protecting the jeans from snow with a waterproof layer, then what is the point of that toughness if the shell layer is taking any abrasion. Jeans might be a best-for-all-occasions, but definitely not a best fit for winter.

[@damiion666]

@@Rayman2185 good thing most Americans live in regions where winters do t get anywhere near zero degrees. In most regions, jeans are the overall best do-all pants, from tactical to work. Not to mention thick enough to protect against most creepy crawly critter bites/stings

[@Rayman2185]

@@damiion666 I believe we are in general agreement; jeans are great under most circumstances, and even in winter when it is cold but dry. In winter when it is cold but dry I like that the thicker material of jeans provides better wind resistance than thinner cloth. Less for protection against creepy crawler critters, I reach for jeans when planning to go through heavy brush or thorns. Every material has its pros and cons, and the weakness for denim is difficulty to dry after getting wet, and in cold weather it provides no warmth if wet.

I’ll add two things to this conversation: 1. Get jeans with elastine; not spandex. It’s a higher grade and more durable. I worked for a denim company for a good while and I know factually you will split them a hell of a lot less than 100% cotton. 2: A lot of dark died denim shows up about just as little, or less than NIR compliant camouflage. Your cheaper pants with polyester and other synthetics will show up damn near fluorescent. Great stuff btw. Just came across your channel. You remind me of an old friend who used to be on here, MrLockandLoad

[@Fenster21]

I agree wholehearted, cotton with stretch is more durable than pants even thicker all cotton pants. I.e. mall skinny stretch Levi's will be more durable than made in the USA firm-duck Carhartt pants. However, Spandex is just a trade-name for elastene. Kinda like Nylon and polyamide, Kevlar and aramid, or Dyneema and UHMWPE. Same thing, different name.

[@Blackpilled_Fever_Dream]

That's why most people used to wear wool during the winter. It's naturally water repellant and even if it does get wet it can still provide some warmth and it will dry a lot faster than cotton. Cotton is fine as a base layer though.

For daily drivers and non hunting outdoor activities, I like Dickies Carpenter Pants in Olive or Duck. The latest versions from Walmart seem to have a bit of spandex which helps being over 50 and more colorfast. I’m also a fan of LAPG jeans. For antelope season I’m running ACU trousers from a coworker who got out. It helps that Pronghorn live in Sagebrush which is the one place the most hated pattern ever works. One pair are later issue, so buttons. My mom and wife modified the worn out Velcro pockets, so buttons. They’ve also had a stitch line run vertically through the leg pockets to better organize gear/phone. Deer season gets a pair of olive Carhartt bib overalls which they sadly don’t make anymore. Elk season gets insulated hunting bibs.

[@James225]

I bought some Wrangler ATG work pants or whatever they're called from Menards once that have a thigh zip pocket that fits an AR mag in perfectly so that the top of the mag sticks out to grab it and that doesn't infringe on you squatting. And they have a percentage of spandex in them so they stretch too when you squat making them way more comfortable. I know normal Wrangler jeans don't fit me quite right, but these fit awesome. I also like their lighter synthetic ATG hiking type pants for hikes and they're relatively cheap too.

They’re similar to 5.11 pants but much less expensive. A lot of private military contractors wear them.

[@aaronfilipowich3877]

As a Canadian where Saskatchewan winters regularly hit -50 C with the wind chill jeans are fine. I still have regular camo hunting pants (Canadian Tire Realtree cargos lol) for hunting. See the "wool kills" folks need to remember there's a big difference between getting wet from trudging through snow banks and from falling in a frozen lake/river. First off...don't be stupid enough to end up in the postion of falling in freezing water and you'll be fine with jeans and a base layer/long johns underneath. Its more of a matter of being prepared then what material your wearing. Your going snow camping and plan on sitting in a snowbank, bring winter clothes/snow pants. Going out in the rain bring rain gear. Shit you can wear ranger panties under a good pair of snow pants and you sit in a snowbank without issue.

I use the tactical blue jeans and hybrid khaki cargo pants where the pockets are not bulky. The biggest issue for blue jeans is not the cold but around water. From the water survival training I taken, blue jeans are the worst to wear. For they stick to you and weigh you down, making it difficult to get off in hurry. For cold weather, yeah merino wool long John’s solve the cold problem. Besides that, a nice pair of dark blue jeans that a straight fit can be worn with blazers and sports coats, not just in the woods.

I'm a lifelong backpacker. And my favorite way to travel in the backwoods is with a comfortable pair of jeans, and I can modify it in two ways as necessary: If it's cold, I can wear a thin Merino wool long johns underneath. And if I need wind or water protection, I put a cheap Frogg pant shell over them. If the jeans get wet, I always have the long johns and rain pants as a backup until they dry. If the long john's also get wet, then I can fart around in the rain pants until the other two are dry. One final of modification, even though it makes me look a little hippie, is to wear running shorts over the long johns. That looks like a perfectly acceptable pair of trail pants, frankly, that are super comfortable if you don't want to wear the jeans or shell for any reason. Stupid proof system. Nice video.

They even have a nice discreet zippered cargo pocket on the right side. They are the only pants I buy and I literally wear them every day, regardless of what I'm doing. I work in facilities maintenance in the Southeast (hot as fuck) and do a lot of backpacking and camping, and these are the best pants I can find for the money.

I agree with the message: use what you've got, and spending money isn't a solution to most problems.
