Upland Hunting Pants - Lightweight & Quiet | XPR

Upland Hunting Pants That Actually Solve Your Problems

When you're pushing through thick cover, and every step matters, upland hunting pants become more than just something you wear. The XPR-S represents a complete rethink of what brush pants should be. These upland pants are for hunters who won't compromise. You get comfort and performance together, real protection that doesn't weigh you down, plus the durability to stay quiet when it counts.

The Breakthrough Nobody Saw Coming

Brush pants usually make you pick. Heavy ones have you sweating by the first mile. Lightweight ones tear up before the season's over. Cheap pants don't stand up to briars and thorns. Even some of the better options out there handle the abuse but feel uncomfortable after long days in the mountains or varied terrains.

We threw out that whole approach. The Cotton Suede® fabric uses bi-component construction that layers 100% cotton against your skin with a heavy-brushed polyester shell outside. When you're working hard through thick stuff, these pants breathe. They're quiet when closing distance on birds matters most. Get caught in wet conditions? They shrug it off. The durable materials provide real protection from thorns, briars, and heavy brush, but you'd never guess it from the weight.

The dual DWR water-repellent coating means these brush pants shed water. The Silvergear® anti-odor treatment keeps them fresh through multiple days of hard hunting. Most importantly, the brushed fabric stays silent during movement through the cover. Just quiet motion through whatever terrain your upland hunting demands. Testing shows the breathability handles warm temps while the weight stays manageable.

Design Choices That Actually Help You Hunt

Good upland pants need to work across different conditions. These pants deliver versatility through smart design features. The ergonomic construction follows your natural movement, so the fit works right from the first wear. The built-in belt keeps everything in place. The Beltlock® closure system locks down tight.

Two main front pockets handle essentials. Two cargo pockets with magnetic closures open fast when you need them. Each has knife and flashlight pockets inside. The cargo pockets also hold cartridge holders that fit both rifle and shotgun shells. A back pocket adds storage. Mobile phone pockets on each side keep your device secure. The two-tone styling looks stylish.

Ventilation comes through two side openings that allow airflow when you're working hard, but close when you need wind protection. Ankle regulators let you adjust the fit over different boot heights and won't catch on brush. The fit runs comfortably without being baggy. A great fit means you can move naturally, whether you're climbing steep terrain or working through thick briars. Add these to your car, and you'll understand why they're a necessity for serious upland hunting.

The pants excel in early-season conditions when temps vary, and you're covering serious ground. They're breathable enough for warm days but handle thick briars and thorns that shred lighter options. Whether you're working upland birds over dogs or stalking bigger game through the field, these brush pants hold up. You get solid protection without chaps weighing you down. They keep thorns and briars off your legs while letting you move freely. When you can push through heavy cover faster, you're going to put more birds in the bag.

Many hunters throw on regular pants for everything, but upland hunting requires a different approach. The XPR-S offers a variety of features you won't find in standard hunting gear on the market today. They're designed to close the gap between lightweight mobility and serious brush protection. Some hunters are such fans of the Cotton Suede® fabric that they order multiple pairs at the sale price.

Camo Pants and Color Options for Every Hunt

Looking for camo pants instead? The XPR series also comes in camouflage patterns designed for hunters who need concealment, along with all the same performance features. The camo pants use the same Cotton Suede® fabric construction, DWR coating, and brush protection as the solid color options. You can get these in solid colors or camo, depending on what you hunt. The solid earth tones are versatile for different terrains. If you're getting close to birds and need concealment, the camo does that. Same fit and protection either way.

Good Fit Means Better Performance

The size range runs from small through 4XL. Fit matters more than you'd think. Too tight and you can't move right. Too loose and they snag on brush and mess with your balance. The size chart shows exact measurements to help you find the right size. When you order the correct size, these pants feel tailored for you. Many hunters find these pants work perfectly over a mid-layer in cool conditions or alone when it's hot outside.

FAQs: Lightweight Hunting Pants

You're probably asking yourself the same questions every hunter does:

What's the difference between upland pants and regular hunting pants?

Upland hunting pants prioritize mobility, light weight, and protection from briars over insulation. Regular hunting pants focus on warmth for stand hunting. The XPR-S stays quiet and breathable for active hunts where you're covering ground. Competitors like Pyke make similar options, but most sacrifice comfort or durability. These give you both.

Do I really need specialized brush pants for upland hunting?

If you hunt in areas with thorns, briars, or heavy brush, absolutely. Standard pants tear through quickly. Quality upland pants protect your legs, stay comfortable during long days, and last multiple seasons. One good pair beats replacing cheap pants every season.

What size should I order for layering underneath?

Order your normal size. The fit accommodates a mid-layer in early season without feeling baggy when worn alone. Sizing up creates excess fabric that catches on the brush. The cut works with or without layers for different weather conditions.

What's the best material for different weather conditions?

Early season and warm weather demand breathable fabric that wicks moisture fast. The Cotton Suede® construction handles those conditions perfectly. The dual DWR coating provides good water resistance. These pants work best when the temps range from cool to warm.

Are expensive brush pants worth the investment?

Quality pants pay for themselves. Cheap options wear out fast, fit poorly, and lack features for long days. A good pair like these lasts years and costs less over time than replacing cheap ones. Great gear provides value every time you wear it.
