two choices, filson if you want to spend some cash, I have a pair that I cant wear out but not cheap, same as the rest of their stuff, old time style. Great stuff, cant say enough about it. Not nearly as expensive is dans, great stuff made in ohio, very good quality and good construction, just a little noisy. And pretty cheap for what you get. Good Luck!

I would NOT recomend the Nite lite brand. I destroyed a pair after two years. At $89.00 a pair I think they should have lasted alot longer.

Rural King is having a sale at the moment. Wrangler brush pants are on sale for $12. I wear redhead and they are fine, the wife and brother have wrangler. they arnt going to make it more than a couple seasons but even if they tear up after only a year, oh well. they work pretty well in thick briars, no one had a scratch on them yesterday.
