I understand you like knee pads but you cant go thru life always on your knees, no matter how comfortable your pants are while doing it...lol

I spend most of deer season in a pair of old-school wool pants. They're warm, tough, pretty comfy and there's nothing quieter.I know you will swat me for this but---- I have worn woolrich malone pants for 45 years just like my father before me. They are good in snow and rain. Quiet in the brush and I only wear them out every 20 years or so.
It's hard for me to get new and fancy when things work this well for so long. Now feel free to tell me why I am so stupid.
I wore a pair of Malone wool pants for decades before most of the new stuff came along. The weight and the fact the insides of the legs and crotch would wear out from rubbing against each other every few years lead me to the change. Sitka Timberline minus the kneepads work for most rifle and coyote season. The extra layer of waterproof stuff on the knees and butt are a real plus. Warm and light. Other then MAYBE an antelope hunt I can't see a need for knee pads and they are too warm for that time of year. Watch CamoFire after season.I know you will swat me for this but---- I have worn woolrich malone pants for 45 years just like my father before me. They are good in snow and rain.

For what you mentioned the Kuiu attack pants will work. They are comfortable, very tough, and have hip vents when hiking you can regulate your temps. Black Friday is coming up they might run a sale on them in Nov. Another pant would be the Kryptek Bora pants they have schoeller fabric are very abrasion resistant, more for mid to late season and fabric breathes like there is no tomorrow and closes when temps drop. I got mine on Amazon for $110 and it’s a $300 dollar pant, I recommend checking Krypteks website or Amazon sometimes the prices do drop that’s when you have to take advantage.I really need a decent pair of pants for mid to late season hunting. I have carhartt bibs for the ultra cold sitting, so I really need a good walking around pant. I do a fair amount of spot and stalk on the prairie, and also bow from a tree stand.
Here is what I'm thinking for needs:
Very windproof
Doesn't have to be ultra warm, but a little insulation would be ideal for SD.
Really really really want outer material that is burr resistant, so fleece is out...
Water proof would be nice, but not a requirement
Need to be able to move well, but no mountains around here...
Camo would be nice, but not required
Any one got a recommendation? I know everyone speaks highly of sitka, but I really struggle to justify the price for the amount of hunting I do and the fact it's SD so not the toughest to hunt in.
Thanks in advance group
People would do well to read this 20 or 30 times. I'm only 64, but figured this out years ago also.I am sure some of these modern hunting pants are fine. I am 83 and have hunted seriously all over the world for more than seventy years. For medium to bad weather in Alaska, Canada, all the Rockies, The Pamirs in Tajikistan, Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Mongolia Johnson Woolen Mills wool whipcord pants have worked fine. Their whipcord is quiet, and does not gather burrs or thorns. I use different colors depending on the environment I hunt, including mottled grey, medium brown, and various green shades. They are not uncomfortable while riding a horse on an all day pack train trip. I have slowed down a bit since turning 80. So have not experimented with these new products. Just an old dog too old for new tricks.. kindest Regards
