Under $22 - The BEST Outdoor Pant you'll ever own!

[@adventuretimefishinghunting]

You know what's funny about this video. I literally just bought these this weekend. And was telling my wife about how they'll make great hiking pants.

[@LooknFishy]

That is pretty funny!

[@brianfreland9065]

I bought a pair a couple years ago and liked them so much I've now gotten 5 pair haha. Best pants ive found for under 80 bucks and they're only 20! In my opinion they're almost as nice as the prana pants but they're only a quarter of the price

[@adventuretimefishinghunting]

@@brianfreland9065 yeah man I love them for all my fishing/ hiking trips!

[@matthewmakarewicz7250]

My son told me to get these pants. He wore them when he worked 2 years for Conservation Corp on a river crew. Absolutely my favorite pants ever. I worn them to work teaching too before I retired.

[@LooknFishy]

I've been super impressed with them! Crazy how well them wear on trail or off trail!

[@CraigSheppard]

Picked these up at Walmart yesterday based on your review...I figured for $22 not much to risk trying them. They feel awesome! Haven't had a chance to test their durability yet, but if they last, this will be one of the best value for money clothing buys I've seen. Thanks! 👍

[@carywood3946]

Agreed! I have about 4 pairs of those. I wear them to work, fishing, in the garage, etc. Completely replaced denim for me.

[@LooknFishy]

Right on!

[@MrEdgy81]

The ATG line for $35-$40 is a nice upgrade from the outdoor line. Basically the same materials but higher quality and a better cut IMO. I would highly recommend the ATG pants.

[@LooknFishy]

Cool, I'll have to check those out!

[@terrydoublin1398]

I bought some today at Walmart and they are well worth $23! Thanks for the video.

[@cmcg1190]

I've had the same Wranglers for a few years and have beaten the crap out of them. The fit is perfect, they dry quick and with a pair of cheap compression pants I can hike comfortably in sub zero weather.

[@elliottdoris4793]

Best pants, hands down, for hiking and fishing. I’ve been wearing them for 2 years now and I love them. I’m a bigger guy so the stretch is fantastic.

[@LooknFishy]

Couldn't agree more!

[@mattstewart2750]

I've been wearing Wrangler pants for about 2 decades now. I agree with you on these pants, but they are my 2nd favorite from Wrangler. My favorite are the Rip-Stop version of their cargo pants. That probably has more to do with my size than anything because I'm a big dude. The cargo style gives me a little more room. We hunt and fish in these things with no issues. They use to be $17, but still well worth the money at the current price of $22-24. I wear these most of the summer wet wading as well and only use waders in bigger tail waters.

[@LooknFishy]

Agree 100%...wish I had known when they were $17 lol!

[@Texasflycaster]

Dang good pants! I reviewed them in '18 and still wear the same pants. Perfect weight until the summer kicks in. Wrangler also makes an awesome brush busting pant as well.

[@LooknFishy]

Cool I'll check those out too!

[@patrickgiroux7596]

I have a drawer full of those pants. I've been wearing them for a year and have no complaints.

[@LooknFishy]

Wish I had found them sooner. Funny thing is I thought I had found a hidden gem. Seems like I was the last to know lol!

[@matthewmakarewicz7250]

Just discovered they make our favorite pants fleece lined. Ordered a pair today. I think they will be perfect to wear under waders on cooler days.

[@LooknFishy]

Haha...I didn't know it until someone left a comment. Ordered them a few days ago !

[@daddymcsnacks_561]

So I'm a land surveyor and I will say these are great for the summer. The only draw back is the nylon is susceptible to rips from thorns walking through brush. They definitely do dry quick and are lightweight. They also make a winter version that's fleece lined and great for the winter months too.

[@LooknFishy]

Definitely will look into the winter version as these are fantastic!

[@daddymcsnacks_561]

@@LooknFishy I'll tell you what, I don't know if it's due to supply shortage or what but they went cheap on the fleece for the newer pair in 2020! The first winter pair I got were excellent. Now I gotta check to make sure they're the same style, rather disappointed with the newer one I recently got.

[@MarcP5267]

I was thinking about buying them for landscaping

[@brianfreland9065]

I bought a pair of these a couple years back cause I needed a quick clean pair between jobs...I loved them so much I went back 2 days later and bought 4 more pairs. Best pants I've found for under 80 bucks and they were 19.99 at walmart!!!

[@Wilderness_Recon]

I have to agree with your choice in pants. I was skeptical at first because they are sold at Walmart and the price. But like you I've been very satisfied with them. Surprised actually.

[@LooknFishy]

I was the same way. Grabbed them last minute when a high-end brand came in that I ordered in my size but was like 4 sizes too big. Literally, just walking thru the store and saw them and though might as well give them a look since I was gone 7 weeks lol!

[@williamparker6649]

Thanks Drew I was one of the people who asked about pants👍

[@LooknFishy]

Glad to share!

[@rubythroat2258]

Yes!!! I bought these months ago for work and they are great!! I like the cotton ones much better though... but the synthetic are good too (if you like that "Zip! Zip!" Sound when you walk).

[@AnthemBassMan]

I have four pairs of these that I use for work. I’m a bread delivery driver, and these are great for climbing into the back of the truck and jumping back out. They stretch and move with you, not bind up in any way. Unfortunately, I got the last four pairs at the three different Walmarts that I went to. Even on the Walmart website, it was a no go. Too bad, because they really are good.

[@veryvince]

Check target, I've seen them there lately

[@AnthemBassMan]

@@veryvince Thanks for the heads up. I’ll check it out.

[@patina_turner6791]

Agreed. I use mine wet wading quite a bit as well !! Great pants for the price, I hope they stick around a while in Wranglers line

[@DaveHyde]

Agreed, I love those pants

[@LooknFishy]

They are good stuff!

[@JSTJPN]

I have been wearing these pants for 5 years now. They are super comfortable, they stretch and dry very quickly. I actually like these better than my Columbia pants of the similar design.

[@RonKris]

I have three pairs of those Wranglers and they are my favorite pants even over jeans. I know a guy that Hiked the Appalachain trail in a pair.

[@LooknFishy]

Wow, that's super cool! You gotta have confidence in them to do that!

[@1Troutguy]

That is exactly the ones I use, love pockets on leg. Use them only for fishing.

[@LooknFishy]

Good call!

[@mikewilkins8019]

Have every color they make. Love them.

[@LooknFishy]

They are top shelf for sure!

[@ChrisSmith-jcs1111]

I have the same Wranglers from Walmart as well only without the zip off legs. They are very comfortable and are a great overall outdoor pant. I also found a similar Wrangler pant at Walmart that were polyester fleeced lined that make a great cool and cold weather pant. I those for early season kayak fishing or boating and I often wear them under my waders when wade fishing in the winter. If I remember correctly, they were about $25 a pair

[@mrblueskynm3968]

Thanks man! I need to get some new fishing pants, so I'll give em a try. Tight lines!

[@LooknFishy]

Worth a look for sure...tons of comments saying exactly what I said...good pants!

[@mrblueskynm3968]

@@LooknFishy I finally found some in my size and they're great! I bought 3 pairs to get me through a couple of wet wading seasons. I showed them to my fly fishing buddy and he bought a pair the next day. He agrees they are awesome! Thanks so much!

[@BoowanaNM]

The only reason I have not watched more of your videos is your rate of speech. THANK YOU for attempting to slow down! I'd like to hear what you have to say. Keep having fun and sharing with the world!

[@LooknFishy]

Haha, sadly I always remind myself but then I get going and you see the rest. The good news is most of my vids are 2 mins talking 15 mins fishing lol!

[@paulk6077]

I had some shorts like that. I had a shoe repair / Taylor add a snap on the pockets.

[@muddlerminnow]

By far the best river pants ever. I have several pairs myself.

[@daveouterspace]

I have a pair of those and I love them for hot weather outdoor activities

[@LooknFishy]

They are nice for warm weather activities!

[@davids11131113]

Yep I’ve had a pair of these for a while they’re great.

[@vineasel5360]

Totally agree! Those Wranglers are my go-to backpacking pants. Wicking, water resistant, quick drying , wind blocking, great deep pockets in the right places, roll up cuffs (with snaps!), flexible, comfortable…The best feature, though, is the waist band liner. It grips so well that even with a heavy pack load, the pants won’t slip. If you hike regularly, you know how much that matters. Best twenty bucks on clothing you’ll ever spend. Good job.

[@haroldcotten1840]

I'm a wrangler man, love there jeans, thanks

You and me both. My favorite shorts are wrangler also.

Weird...copied...www.walmart.com/ip/Wrangler-Men-s-Outdoor-Zip-Cargo-Pant/942998392

[@arktikgraywolf]

Been wearing them for a year now. They hold up pretty good in a machine shop environment. Lately quality had gone down and getting same kinda rip in the crotch area. Other than that they're light and stretchy.

[@danmassaviol8646]

Wrangler makes a decent product, have had these before, pretty good.

[@LooknFishy]

Been happy with mine for sure!

[@jameswright4540]

I love these pants for summer wading and hiking. They are light-weight and durable. Best part is they are only 20 dollars. I have 3 pairs in the various colors. I also have a pair for winter that are fleeced line and they are great. Good video. Thanks for sharing. Happy holidays!

Sure, I'll add it to the list of ideas I'm working on that answer's specific viewer questions. Thank you for suggesting it!

[@bryonshepherd]

Man ! I have been wearing those for several years. It's hard to find them in my size . The only thing I don't like is, the button . All outdoor stuff should be easy to repair in the field . Add a sew on button and you have the perfect outdoor pant that you can buy four of for the price of one of the others ....... Stop telling people while we can still get them . 😁

[@stanztman68]

Most comfortable pants I've ever owned.

[@rigginuts]

So, I might have ask this before but are you wearing sneakers or wading shoes for your hike in ?

[@LooknFishy]

Next video will go into this in detail. I wear boots, liners and hiking socks!

[@12inchpickle20]

I have had a pair for while not bad for price but I just got a pair of 511 pants and love those much better but the cost sucks on 511.

[@oldhardrock2542]

Good looking pant except they look pretty tight in seat and legs. Almost skinny jean tight. I'll check them out. I like Wrangler pants a lot.

[@LooknFishy]

They aren't skinny jean tight but definitely more of an active cut and not a baggy fit which I prefer. Kinda in between baggy and skinny fit. No chance I'd wear a skinny jean lol.

[@kyleorndoff4162]

Great video. What shoes do you wear? In the summer I was using Chacos, but I have terrible balance and constantly banged up my feet.

Not a fan of plastic pants (nylon) much prefer the canvas (98% cotton 2% spandex). Not quite as light but made from natural material.

[@LooknFishy]

Good to know lol!

[@DocB_83]

Great stuff! I just bought a pair of these wrangler randomly at Target for $20! I loved them so much I went back and got 4 more pairs! They are more comfortable and dry just as fast as any $100 top end brand pant. Wear them daily for everything!

[@exexangler]

I did the exact same thing. These are my favorite fishing/camping pants. I have 5 pairs.

[@LooknFishy]

That is awesome! I wasn't joking...these are some of the best I've worn and crazy they only cost $22. I have 4 now lol!

[@johnwright4960]

Great timing on this video Drew. I’ve been rewinding your videos back and forth trying to determine what type of waders you were wearing for those 3 mile hikes to out of the way streams and just could never tell. Do you wet wade most of the streams you hike to in the Colorado and Wyoming summers? Can I ask what wet wading shoes you’re using and what socks? Do you hike back to the truck in wet socks and boots? Sorry for all the questions. Maybe these will be answered in the sequel.

[@LooknFishy]

No worries...questions help me come up with videos people actually want to watch. The next vid will cover my boots. I do hike to and from the stream in the same boots and socks.

[@advancedbizsolutions]

YESS, These are my questions too!

[@ZillaFitness]

Wow! You are not kidding. I just got my pants today and they are way better than the ones I’ve paid four times as much for. Not only are the the most comfortable pants have worn but I was able to find 36 x 34 which I’ve been notoriously hard to find previously. Thank you!

[@miconn69]

I've been very disappointed with these pants. They fit well, lightweight, comfortable as can be. My problem is that the threads are coming apart in the pockets and waist. Walmart will not refund or exchange if they have been worn. I still have several pairs but will not ever buy another pair of these.

[@LooknFishy]

Weird...I'm still wearing the same 3 from 4 yrs ago. But I've noticed recently the quality of other pants has gone down. I bought online the same 2 cargos in Jan...same size and one was atleast a full size in waist and inseam too big!

[@miconn69]

Yeah, I'm wearing a pair of the shorts now. I have bought several pair but it has just started becoming an issue. It's annoying because these have been my favorites. I recently bought the Wrangler ATGs from Target and will see if they do any better, but I'm done buying these from Walmart. They won't stand behind them.

[@Bakamojo]

What do you suggest for lightweight waders in the late spring/summer/early fall months

[@LooknFishy]

I have an old pair of orvis convertibles that I use in my kayak when it's warm. Not sure they still make them but been solid for me.

[@williamsoni]

If you read all of these reviews, you probably realize these are really great pants. I spent 10 days in Colorado wet wading every day and I wore the same pair of pants. They hardly seemed to get dirty and dry really quickly. Thanks for the recommendation, Drew.

[@adamredden2007]

Man, my wife brought two pair home last year. $12 each. Easily my favorite pants.

[@LooknFishy]

Wow, that's a steal!

[@tonyconard116]

I absolutely love these pants! I have worn them for 8 months and have no issues with them, they beat the dog out of $80. 00 versions.

[@scottwhitten3787]

I'll try these, only $19.99

[@LooknFishy]

That's a deal!

[@TheRoadLessPaved]

LOL, I just bought two pair for my husband a couple of days ago. He's getting ready to leave for a Florida trip. I own 4 pair of Eddie Bauer pants that retail around $90-100 per pair (bought on sale). Totally love them and was going to try and find a couple for him. These are almost duplicates of the Bauer pants! No way, but I checked everything. Except for the heavier waistband and OMG giant button closure - the material is exactly the same. They're also double stitched and overlapped so they won't unravel. They are a bargain. Got his at Wal-Mart. Even the colors matches mine.

[@LooknFishy]

That's pretty outstanding. I wasn't expecting much when I got mine at the beginning of 2021 but have been super impressed. Even Walmart delivery was on time and timely!

[@LooknFishy]

Sounds like a solid plan!

[@31446963048]

Drew, just started following you in the last week and really like your content. Was doing some internet shopping and found a pair of Weatherproof Vintage Men's Tech Pant for 16.99 at Costco I'm going to try. If they don't work out I'll try these wranglers. We do a lot of wet wading in the warm weather so it's shorts typically. Been wanting to grab a pair of slacks for those walks thru the woods. Do have a question for you though. Do you find a lot of creeks or streams that aren't known for having trout? Watching thru your Missouri videos, sometimes I recognize the water and other times I'm trying to figure if it is Missouri water. I'm just wondering what percentage of water you've found in your research (watched the video) that are those little secret gems of the fisherman who looked further. Think we're headed down to Norfolk Dam in February. And congrats on the Missouri Slam. One of those things we talk about doing and never quite get around to it.

[@LooknFishy]

Thank you. Can't beat that price! Ime, most of the streams out west seem to have fish. Not always great quality but I'm not sure I've ever found one completely void...unless it was dry which has happened. But most will at least have some brookies.

[@janh5199]

Based on your review, my husband and I both bought a pair this past week. They are very comfortable. Looking forward to trying them hiking. Price is going/ has gone up to $22.98. However, our Walmart had not removed the old price tag of $21.92 so we got them for the lower price. We also bought the same style shorts.

[@believeinjesus8300]

Are they stretchy ?

[@tonylewis1803]

Drew! I got my Wrangler’s! Much better made then any of the other high end pants I’ve bought. They work great for wet wading. Would not have known without you. Many Thanks!

[@TheSshadow7]

Yep. I have some of those (and a ton of other outdoors pants) and they're as good, if not better, than all of them. Super comfortable and perfect for being outdoors. Also, if you're driving a long distance, they're not as constricting while seated for long periods of time.

[@LooknFishy]

For sure, I drove back from Wyoming to Arkansas over 20 hrs wearing them.

[@carlhammill5774]

I like loose outdoor pants than allow me to put thin liner underneath for winter time. I found Wrangler cargo to be best for this.

[@crossroads2634]

I bought three pairs of these pants and the stitching came apart on all three pair. I cannot believe that it has a tag wrangler

[@lovingmylifeasIage6741]

I have several pair of these and wear them often. Just don't get them too close to the exhaust pipe of your Harley.

[@LooknFishy]

[@roughcountry5913]

Great pants. I have 8 pairs. Only drawback is thorns.

[@fabulousoffroaddesigns5080]

I have a set of these that look slightly different. They are like a fitted sport pant with the seemed in knee, sewn in belt plus belt loops, and Jean style pockets, but no cargo pocket. I thought I was nuts loving these cheap pants so much.

[@LooknFishy]

Well, it looks like there are a few of us nuts over these pants!

[@Squeaks557]

I bought a pair earlier this year for wet wading after a fellow fisherman told me about them. Not the best for skinny guys either as it took like 8 walmarts to find any in stock in smaller sizes. 🤣 They're good, but you still can't beat the prana zions IMO.

[@LooknFishy]

I wonder if that's more a supply chain issue but for sure any unique (big/tall or skinny) might be hard to find in stock. The good thing is I ordered 3 of the 4 I have online (2 before I posted the vid to be sure the links were reliable), and they shipped free to my house. No chance I could visit 8 stores. We only have 1 Walmart in my county...the next closest is over 40 miles away...so I consider ship to store or home a huge bonus.

[@faceinthecrowd5810]

Denali performance pants at Sam”s Club, same nylon/spandex blend, fit great. I bought them for riding MTB, very happy with them….$13.

[@LooknFishy]

The best part is the price...hard to find any pants for that price these days.

Right, such good pants!

[@TheBeatenPaths]

I've gone from Wrangler, to Carhartt to Fjallraven. Wrangler and Carhartt wore out too quick. The fjallraven are the most comfortable too.

[@LooknFishy]

Man, I have not had that experience. I wore these almost daily for 7 straight weeks camping, hiking, sleeping etc and not so much as a torn thread or worn cuff, knee or pocket. Been super impressed with the durability. Haven't tried the Fjallraven...need to look at those!
