Gear Dakota Pant

This is my 10th piece of sitka gear. The stuff is top of the line and the price demands it. I prefer suspenders (yes sitka also) to wearing a belt so I ordered a 34, I'm a 32/33. The suspenders worked flawlessly with the belt loops.These are roomy in the seat and thigh not what I'd consider an athletic fit and slimmer below the knee but not form fitting like the gradient pants which are designed to go under waders. I bought these to wear after setting up and things cool down. They are thick but not puffy and the exterior (I haven't tested this) seems like it would handle briars/thorns well, certainly any vegetation you might encounter in the goose field or duck blind. The thigh pockets do ventilate well just in case you do wear these during setup and need to dump heat. I have worn them under a pair of simms waders, and again, not as form fitting as the gradients, but bearable. When the temps really drop and it's rainy I wear my boreal bibs. These fill that niche between the times you need to wear waders and needing something underneath, to those dry colder days in the field or muddy days when muck boots can be worn. Since I sized up I can put a pair of thin patagonia pants on underneath (what I wear to setup in early season) or wear warmer pants like a pair of patagonia nano puff pants. Very versatile. Quickly becoming the most worn piece in the marsh lineup for me.

Worth the money!!! They look great and feel great!!! Time will tell how they do in cooler weather!

This is one of my first Sitka purchases. I have plenty of Drake, Browning Hell's Canyon, UA, etc., but wanted to see if this gear is really worth it. These arrived very quickly - a day or two after ordering. These pants fit great, are really warm, comfortable - everything you'd expect in a very expensive piece. I wore them in 20's and 30's, as well as 50's in complete comfort. Now, I still think the Sitka gear is overpriced unless you are using the gear 30-40 days a year.

Excellent quality. The material is substantial and feels very durable. The fleece lining is very warm. I ordered the 36T and it fits great. I’m normally a 35 waist and 34 inseam in most jeans/pants and these were prefect with sufficient room for a base layer. Well worth the money. I’ve paid $100 more for ski pants that don’t feel as high quality as these. You won’t be disappointed.

Awesome pants, super durable material and warm. The 32R size - the waist is true and length is perfect at 31".

These are great pants. The material is fantastic. Its got stretch in it. The fit is pretty good. I'm 5'9" and the regular is just a bit long on me, but I'm short waisted, meaning my torso is long and my legs are not quite as long. I'd like the side of them that touch your skin, the inside, to be a bit thicker, which would make them a bit warmer. But 229.00? come on man. $159 would be a good price. Somebody needs to come in the market and make these pants and undercut these guys. I'd buy another pair because I love clothes that are good.

I picked these up for wearing while snow blowing, walking the dog in the winter, and doing a little hunting. They are comfortable, warm, windproof, and thoughtfully designed. Yes, like all Sitka gear, they're spendy. But worth it in my opinion.

Perfect for all kinds of hunting, comfortable for every day wear! Highly recommend
