If you really want to wear fr pants in the woods I would suggest going to the surplus store and buying fr acu pants. I have a duffel bag full of them in my shed.

>>2869512
Really I just want something that wont melt instantly when an ember from a fire pops out at me. Also the only surplus store near me closed a while back which sucks.

Patagonia altiva (i think thats fheir name)
Or
Patagonia terrebone joggers in summer

If its too hot just some lululemon shorts

I've worn my altivas on -10f weather, with a smartwool thick base layer. also I hate those faggot tik tokers with those retarded af pants, i would legitimately leave them to die if i ever see one out in the wild asking for help

>slightly fire resistant
nigger, why?

For sitting around a campfire in case an ember pops out (this has happened to me before). But I might just go with my dad's advice and just get a cheap pair so if it gets holes I won't feel so bad about replacing it.

I've got some craghopper kiwis, the old style with the large pocket on the right leg and a generous cut so they don't look like leggings. You should learn to patch, OP. A small burn from an ember is easily fixable.

Yeah this
Especially if you regularly go off the path in thorns and bushes in the woods

>>2869511
I just wear 16oz denim jeans (gustin)
Not very good flexibility or for very high humidity but they are thick enough to resist thorns and they aren't going to melt through like plastic pants.

Milsurp.

For all my work pants I basically just hit Tractor Supply/Atwoods or whatever your equivalent store would be and buy whatever's on sale. The Ridgecut brand at Tractor Supply is my favorite and they've got a good variety of styles.
As for fr, aside from actual fr pants, a good rule of thumb is the more natural the fiber, the less likely it is to get holes from embers. Wool and cotton will smolder if a big enough ember lands on it but synthetics will just straight melt on contact.

I wear my fjallraven pants. Barents pro specifically, though i hear the keb throusers are great, and they are streatchy. Barents are not stretchy, but its very durable and doubles as regular pants. You can make it more water resistant by layering on wax. It wont ever become fully waterproof, but goretex is poisonous and the g-1000 fabric used by fjallraven is good enough imo.
Its pricy, but lasts a long time.

during winter i wear brand name mountaineering pants with zipper ventilation holes on them and i carry pretty hefty down gear for those -30c days and ice fishing
summer i wear cotton milsurp

>>2869511
When im working NOMEX Greens from either propper (meh but issued) or coaxer.

When im thinking on my own time, mountain hardware zip offs

>>2869511
>I'm looking for something not too expensive and preferably slightly fire resistant
ok so go to a thrift store and get a pair of literally whatever cotton that fits you and is mobile enough
>wahh that's not what i meant
your pants aren't what's stopping you from going out retard

Don't people say cotton kills though? I mean I have some stretchy jeans that I have worn on shorter hikes (Pictured Rocks) but I was thinking I might want something a bit more versatile if I go out for multiple days and camp and whatnot.

>>2869511
Figuring out what pants are sensible for hiking (which is pretty much just walking for a longer time than usual) shouldnt be hard. Please dont become a dumb gearfag

>>2869511
I like KUHL's pants. like the ryder or free ryder. They have a cotton twill blend with a little bit of stretch that is durable and quiet. They have some synthetic pants but I like cotton/canvass for durabilty in the woods. Might be a bit much for a day hike on a warm summer day but for fucking around the woods for days they are great.

>Don't people say cotton kills though?
only in cold, wet conditions and only then if for some reason you cant get warm or dry. You're not going to get hypothermia if you get caught in a summer t-storm in jeans. but if its raining you should wear rain pants.

wrangler atg trail joggers. comfy, breathable, and cheap. I wear them hiking and mountain biking

>>2869513
You can buy surplus online still. Also fire resistance is a legit design consideration for military uniforms, at least in the first world

This, surplus pants are cheap and usually a pretty durable poly/cotton blend. You can even get plain tan or olive ones if you're worried about looking too tacticool on the trail.

Pic related are my hiking pants, Swedish M90 field trousers.

Snow Peak has a lot of Fire resistant clothing but very expensive. Prana stretch zion are top tier comfy tho

>>2869685
I love the look of the Fjall's but gd their reviews on their new products are TERRIBLE. From the breathable fabric ripping out to the narrow legs to the weird inseam lengths. For $185 there's no way they're worth their asking price these days.

What you're referring to is a "welders problem". What typically is most versatile and works well against embers are a pair of thick jeans.

5.11 Stryke pants are GOATed. Tons of pockets, sturdy construction yet light, cool colors and versatility. Helikon-Tex pants are another solid option.

Only real con I can think about is that they do get hot when you're /out/ in warm weather which will make you want to roll them up to get some cool air circulating. But other than that, they are excellent in colder temperatures and for bushwhacking, even in rainy conditions.
But pricey (around $100/150) but not as much as some of the faggy brands mentioned ITT which are not as durable or versatile.

If you don't wanna spend that much, go milsurp for similar specs.

Was gifted a pair over a year ago, and they're pretty good. The vents actually make them comfortable in all seasons and the materials have held up to both daily use and several multi-night hikes.
Unfortunately they're overpriced, and the company Kuiu just got bought out, so it's only a matter of time until they turn to shit. No way I'd pay full price for new ones.

hiking has sure become popular since the corona thing happened
no idea how many years it has been already but i still see 3/10 people wearing fjallraven pants in my grocery store

>>2870667
They’ve got really nice, pretty inexpensive t-shirts. But yeah their pants are crazy expensive.

>>2869511
I have some thin breezy hiking pants that zip off into shorts.
