I don't think you're going to find any that are quite due to the material. I've got a pair of JC Connors chaps that are great for coyote trapping. Especially with the built in knee pads and built in tool holsters.

Brain tan buckskin. Tough, warm, light weight, breathable, quiet.... and expensive.

Dans is ok but the claim that they are just like WICKS use to be is bull. In my opinion they are not even close to the quality that WICKS Products were. Sure wish they would go back into business!

I made my own out of a pair of double cloth Carhart pants and some wax and tung oil. Tin pants style. I wear them mostly while weed and brush whacking and never had a thorn come through them yet and I have plenty of those on my property. On a different note, Those wild roses have great scalding in the wood of the thicker stems ( arm thick and bigger ) once you cut a way to the center that I have cut out and am drying to make knife scales out of.

Filson tin cloth is pretty unbeatable but expensive. Cry once when you buy them and smile when you’re wearing them.

I like Filson's tin cloth chaps for rabbit hunting in the briars. They turn thorns like no tomorrow. Just remember they are only chap high, the boys can still get hooked. Don't ask. Filson tin cloth is pretty unbeatable but expensive. Cry once when you buy them and smile when you’re wearing them. I'm on my second pair of tin cloth pants (single tin) in twenty years. I might get a few more years out of them. Being 100% cotton they are pretty quiet but I don't worrty about that when small game hunting. I also have a tin cloth upland vest that ill probably outlast me. Filson makes double tin garments, can't imagine much getting through those. they're probably heavy and hot though. I also have an older pair of heavy cotton Gamehide brushbusters faced with heavy nylon that I like. They are loud in the brush.
Eh...wot?

Dan's. Filson is heavy when walking all day. I have owned Filson chaps and their Double Tin Pants. The chaps aren't heavy but the pants you can stand in a corner. They are heavy.
