Jeans or Sweatpants?

[mrklean]

Dont know if this has been talked about before but on a cold day what would give you a little more warmth jeans or sweatpants?

[fishwater]

Everyone know that Zubas are the warmest. Actually, it depends on the wind.

[Ebiz]

If you're talking as an underlayer then anything fleece/wool or at least not cotton. For an outer layer I would think jeans if there is any kind of a breeze at all

[TRZ II]

Every washed up,fat, old ex athlete is forced by law to wear sweat pants at all times away from work. So I have no choice! They also keep me nice and toasty.

Even on a calm day, jeans are going to hold your body heat in better than sweats.

[96trigger]

I try and stay away from as much cotton as I can, but if I had to, jeans would be my preferred choice.

[tsande00]

A wise man once said, "Cotton Kills".

[Musky Buck]

Depends on the sweat pants some, cotton ones or if you have like windbreaker types lined with cotton, I wear 2 pairs of those under my regular outer bottom layer. Cuts the wind and seems to keep the heat locked inside, in a few weeks the heavy winter gear will be on for muzzy.

rockie long skins and dickies canvas style pants.Up until last weekend I havent even put on the bibs yet. love my rockie long skins

[surewood]

fleece.

[mrklean]

i have my under armour on but wasnt sure which one would keep me warmer between my camo bids and my layers, i have done both in the past but dont remember which is warmer

[JBar]

I'm a jean's guy hot or cold sweat pants just don't cut it. Ha a different thread at that but as long as your asking.

[Archerysniper]

I wear my under armor over them I wear sweats gives you more room to move then jeans over the sweats I wear my scent blocker pants nice and toasty. When it gets really cold I throw my browning exchange bibs over them.

Get a pair of lined jeans. The ones with the red lining iside, like wearing a sleepin bag on your legs, and after a wash or two, very comfortable. I wear them at work and ice fishing, also don't like bibs.

Found some BF ads, Bass Pro has fleece lined for 40% off.

My son wore them all the time while working outside plowing snow.

[jwmiller33]

fleece lined jeans with thinsulate are the bee's knees

[hockeybc69]

Under Armour, pair of jeans and some bibs.

Why did I wait so long to buy QUALITY long undies!!!!!!!?????

If you're wearing bibs over them that blocks the wind, I dont think it really matters. I would think sweats would be more comfy. Not so tight on the waist with the UA under them. But jeans give you a little more versatility once your done hunting. (ie. go out to eat in sweatpants? yuck)

Personally I wear Cabela's Briarguard pants under my bibs.

[TRZ II]

I eat in sweatpants on daily basis!

[paceman]

This year it was so warm that I wore lite sweatpants under lite bibs. Really quiet and really comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

Out to eat? Are you at OCB? Do the sweats have elastic on the bottom?

[HookEmHard84]

Sweats are the way to go! I used to wear jeans underneath my bibs and it was just way too uncomfortable, so I switched and I actually think the sweats keep me warmer than jeans. Does suck if you get sweaty though, once they are wet at all theyre not so warm...

Those fleece lined jeans are nice too

[Big Tom]

Neither. There are much better cold weather options.

[TRZ II]

Yes and Yes. I have worn sweats to OCB and they do have elastic on the bottom. Where are you eating anywhere near north deer country that requires fine attire? I'll save my womanizing for another weekend and focus on deer in november!

[SledNeck]

Neither. There are much better cold weather options.

BINGO

jeans and sweats are ghetto!

I wear cabelas revolution fleece pants (uninsulated) with an underarmor base and depending how cold it is I wear more layers of polypro military long underwear on top of the underarmor

[Steve Foss]

Cotton no longer touches my skin when I'm active in cool or cold weather. It's all wool, silk or polypro or a blend of them. Even if it's in the 50s, wearing cotton against my skin when I'm actively hunting will make me cold when the sweat is held by the cotton against my skin.

Even if I'm in a stand or just sitting all day on a log, the walk in usually gets me sweating a little. Wicking undies all the way, folks!

[Nate McVey]

+1 for neither.....

On cold days I double up on my baselayers, then add a layer of fleece and top it off with thinsulate lined wool pants. Have sat all day in subzero weather with this combo.

[TRZ II]

Maybe they are! But that is the way some of us roll, not everyone can afford 100$ gortex pants and such. I can still sit all day, no problem. You just need to be tough. I'll be hunting all day tomorrow, in my sweat pants.

[LightningBG]

Oldendays. I'm just givin ya a hard time. I really could care less what anyone wears.
