Designed to keep more cold air out and warm air in. The contoured shape better helps cover your ears and neck. Our neck gaiter is lined with warm black fleece, so it can be reversed for hunting in ground blinds.
Thought a medium would fit my husband's 34 inch waist but need to exchange for a large. Otherwise, they look like a lighter version of the brush field pants I bought and the material seems durable but lightweight.
It's a really nice vest. I look forward to using it for years to come
I've waited for these to be back in stock for most of the winter, 2022, and they finally arrived a few days ago, May, 2022. I am 6' 194 lbs. and usually a 32" x 32" in pants, but ordered a 34" waist after reading many reviews. They will shrink some after washing, and the 34"s will allow me to wear a thick shirt tucked in when Pheasant and Snowshoe Hare hunting from Nov - Feb. The waist fits fine with a bit of wiggle room which is good. Tight pants are not good for hunting. The inseam seems to be a bit long but I can hem them if need be. There's plenty of material to let them out also if you are taller than 6'. The material is tough, and thick which is good for Upland pants. Despite the description, there are 2 rear pockets. The right rear is covered with a button flap, the left rear is an open top. There are 2 slash pockets and a right side watch pocket in front. There are also suspender buttons inside the waist band which is nice and unexpected. Also, FYI, the size tag inside the waist band states " Gamehide, Made in China", which is a bit disappointing, however they appears to be well made.
All around a nice vest for the $.
Material perhaps a bit lighter than expected, based on other Gamehide products, thought it would be slightly heftier material.
Love these pants for working around my property during the summer months. I have used these ElimiTick pants extensively around my Vermont property where ticks are endemic, but haven't found any ticks on my legs yet. The material is light, comfortable and durable. My size was right between XL and 2X, so I tried the XL size first but they were a little snug, so I exchanged them for a 2X size which fit perfect. The exchange was prompt and seamless. I highly recommend these pants! I also have a full ElimiTick camo set for hunting - the ElimiTick treatment really works!
