Women’s hunting pants have to be comfortable while offering protection.<\/b> They need to move with us while we traverse rugged terrain, keep us warm when the conditions get frosty, and ward off water when the clouds open up. During early-season hunts, we require a pant that keeps us both cool and protected, a big ask from a piece of clothing.<\/p>\n
You do not need a dedicated pair of hunting pants in the latest pattern from the biggest name. A pair of work pants, hiking pants, or in some cases, yoga pants will get the job done. My mother hunted wearing Levi’s, and my father still wears the same style of Wranglers he hunted in when I was a kid.<\/p>\n
However, the right pair of hunting pants, designed for your particular hunting conditions, can increase your comfort and capability in the field. The right materials, patterns, and shapes can make your hunt more pleasant and, in some cases, more successful. The pants on this list have been carefully scrutinized while hunting for elk, deer, and mountain lion, and we’ve also included a pair of waders for duck season. Be sure to take a look at our frequently asked questions<\/strong><\/a>, price and value analysis<\/strong><\/a>, and comparison chart<\/strong><\/a> to help with your decision-making.<\/p>\n Editor’s note: This guide received a hefty update on September 13, 2024, to make sure our selection reflects the current best of the best. New to the guide are the First Lite Women\u2019s 308 Lined Pant<\/strong><\/a>, the Alpine Fit Bushwacking Leggings<\/strong><\/a>, the Sitka Women\u2019s Ascent Pants<\/strong><\/a>, the First Lite<\/strong> Core Bibs<\/strong><\/a>, the KUIU Women\u2019s PRO Brush Hunting Pant<\/strong><\/a>, and the Ditale Outdoors Sofia Adventure Pant 2.0<\/a>.<\/strong> Here’s to a great season!<\/em><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGood Fit<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStretchy<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDurable<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tShort length; some taller women have mentioned the leg length being an issue<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n No big surprises on this one. KUIU is going to win top honors for Best Women’s Hunting Pants… again! The brand just did it so well.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The KUIU Women’s Attack Pant<\/a><\/strong> ($149) is about as solid as a hunting pant for women gets. They have a heavy-duty construction without feeling claustrophobic. The Attack pant stretches and moves with you in a way few others can match. These are not shrunken-down versions of the men’s pants, either. They’ve been retailored with a distinctly women’s cut \u2014 and for me, they fit and get the job done.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Something we don’t often see in women’s pants is hip vents \u2014 and these have them. If you’ve never had the pleasure of opening up a vent and feeling a little air on your thigh when the temps get warm, you are missing out.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The first test in these pants was spent on horseback, and after a day of riding through mountains and streams, we didn’t think about them once. That’s the hallmark of a good piece of gear. It did its job to keep us comfortable and protected in such a way that meant no time was wasted on resituating.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Since then, these have been our go-to hunting pants for everything from early-season scouting all the way through late-season predator hunts (over wool baselayers<\/a>). These are the pants we grab on our personal hunts when we aren’t required to test anything. They just do everything and they do it well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLow Cost<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tComfortable<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNot Water Resistant<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Without breaking the bank, the Magellan Outdoors Stonewall Cargo Pant<\/a><\/strong> ($30) is a great all-around hunting pant for women in mild environments. For a casual hunter that might not be hunting often or in extreme weather, these will do job.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The Stonewall Cargo Pants are cotton with a bit of spandex, making them super comfortable. They have a more casual fit than most women’s hunting pants and definitely have a cut that is more fashion-forward. To be honest, these could absolutely just be a pair of casual pants you wear in your day-to-day life, if camo is your color of choice.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The camo pattern, ample pockets, and friendly price make these a pretty great choice for those looking to get into camo without taking out a loan.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Keep in mind that cotton loves water. If you’re headed into wet territory, you’re better off staying home or picking up a pair of water-resistant pants.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n If you’re headed to a dry tree stand, or into the field with no precipitation in the forecast, these will absolutely do the job. We’ve worn the Stonewalls bird hunting, early season scouting, and hanging tree stands with no notes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWarm<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tComfortable<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLarge Dump Pockets<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLong, Wide-Opening Thigh Vents<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNot Waterproof\/Resistant<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n There’s a new kid in town, and it’s the Lined 308<\/a> <\/strong>($180). First Lite seems to be putting some serious time and effort into the women’s offerings. There was some initial skepticism about these heavy-weight, lined pants. They almost feel too cozy to have the performance needed in the field. With a few tests, we quickly found out the Lined 308 can hold its own while providing serious comfort and warmth.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n These fall in the runner-up spot because of their shorter season use. This is not the pant you want to be wearing crawling through the sagebrush in August. You would die. That being said, they do offer an unlined version that might be a competitor for the top spot. Until we put them through some serious paces, though, the nod will go to the runner-up lined version.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n This is that cozy pant that still moves like a technical pant, but is fleece lined for those late-season, blustery days when you just can’t seem to stay warm. It’s what we all wish we were wearing when those lightweight pants just aren’t enough.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n It is important to note, these are not the pants you put on if you’re expecting rainy\/wet conditions. That softshell just isn’t going to cut it. If you live in a notoriously wet area, these might not be for you. For those dry cold environments, the lined 308 is top-notch.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Without putting them through the harshest conditions yet, we’re not sure about their longevity, but we have high hopes. So far, they’ve been a joy on those cold, early mountain mornings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nThe Best Women’s Hunting Pants of 2024<\/h2>\n
