Columbia Mens Ptarmigan Pant

These were very comfortable and fit great. They tough enough to go through the brush , cactus and briars of eastern Montana! Would definitely buy again

I have other upland pants that are tough and will resist burrs, thorns, and the like. The problem with those is that the non-reinforced material is rather thick, so the pants are really too hot to wear in 90º+ weather. These, however, manage to combine the sturdy reinforced brush panels with lightweight ripstop pants. I managed to purchase them when they were on sale, but if you're looking for lightweight upland pants for warm/hot weather, I think these are worth the full cost, which isn't even particularly high compared to alternatives. Solid buy.

I have had a few pieces of Columbia gear I have had over the years, and very much liked them. I picked these pants up for upland hunting, mostly in sage flats and pretty easy terrain. When I got them, I was not super impressed. First, they run small. I would recommend sizing up. They were light, but not very breathable. I am not sure what the material is, but I noticed that when I started to sweat on hot days, the pants would stick to my legs. I wore them for the fifth time this season last week. They lasted about a mile and half before splitting from the fly to almost halfway down my thigh. I was pretty dissapointed to pay $65 for an upland pant that lasted four hunts before splitting. I am reaching out to the company for a warranty and will update this review when I find how they respond.

I was a bit disappointed with these as they seem more like track pants than hunting pants. Least it's been warm out.

I was so pleasantly surprised! These pants are thin and light and I wasn't expecting them to work well but they arrived right before my hunting trip and were what I had.. Let me tell you, they are woven super tight and the thorns and nastys of the West Texas desert did NOT puncture them. They would be especially good in the HOT summer desert as they were super light.I will purchase again.Well worth it!

The quality and durability is definitely there on these pants. Took them out to the desert and its not going to save you from everything, but almost everything. For the most part nothing pricked me and I want wading through some thick brush and these pants held their own and especially at a VERY reasonable price in my opinion.

These pants are in line with Columbia's reputation for quality. They are very light, breathable and durable. After a season of use there is no noticeable signs of wear after 20+ days in the field.My only complaint is that the fabric holds on to dirt really bad. A couple walks in muddy areas and the dirt would not completely come out after multiple washes. Not a big deal because I'm not going hunting to be fashionable, just something I noticed that was different than my cotton-based upland pants.

The pants worked well but don’t know how they would do in heavy brush and briars due to the fact they are so light.

They are thin and light which it's great for early season, material feels cooling.Very rugged you can tell the second you get them, had them out several trips.I wore the them in sub zero (ten below) conditions with rubbers and long Johns (merino) and was warm well below zero. I was moving though, very active with dog (6 hours 19km).Only downside is they are made of rugged non stretchable material (also why you need them) so they are hard to get over boots; and personally are somewhat restrictive for me (minimally). I have very big legs/butt and a small waist comparatively 27 inch legs, 34 waist (36 x32 ordered) to compensate.

Great hunting pants. I can go hunt small games and come back without bleeding from all the thorns and briars encountered in the ‘dirty’ part of the woods.

Great fitting pants, with a good quality water resistant material.They are a bit thin/light for cold weather or late season hunting - but perfect for early fall and warmer climates.

Light weight pant works well for upland hunting. Needs to have the brush barrier extend higher on the back of the pant for the times when you have to back up.

nice pants just a little long ill have to hem them
