>>2722440Hiking to a deer stand early in the morning through the forest, or through tall grass, soaks your pants below the knee because of the dew/condensation.
Then you sit all day in your stand or blind as the water slowly soaks up your pants to your crotch and also through to your socks.
Options:
>wear waterproof pants that don't breathe, causing all sorts of other problems>wear waterproof gaiters that you can pop off once you're stationary.Other nice uses of these:
>put animal urine/scent on them instead of your poor boots and pants>pants last longer if you live in densely wooded areas due to less wear and tear on them>less shit gets in your boots, from briars to bark to snowGood talk, son.
