pants.to me they feel better.the blue jeans made cabelas you can not beat them.my son and i have a pairfor the last 3 years.still look brand new.and i think they are about 39 dollars.mabe less,i cant remember.chaps seem to always want to ride your pants down.just my opinion.

I bought bibs from briarbuster. They are still like new. Some of the stuff I walk through would tear me up if I didn't have the full coverage...

I have both but prefer lightweight chaps. Pants are comfortable, but not as briar proof....in my opinion.

the pants i got from cabelas are brair proof.where i hunt you are in brairs 75% of the time.had a few other brands,and they could not stand the pressure.destroyed them.cabelas brand is the bestin my opinon.to each there own.

FILSON CHAPS is what I bought for my dad for father's day. He loves them. They are brair water and wind proof.

I have brair pants my self. I still get poked by brairs once and awhile.
