I'm a big game hunter, moose hunting being the number one hunt I take part in every year, I have struggled to get the point across to clothing companies that they need some clothes that are truly quiet and durable. These pants have been the best I have used in 25 years of moose hunting. No, they are not waterproof, which is fine, that's what you have rain gear for. Waterproof and silent don't mix well, no matter how much some companies try to tell you.
I can promise you if you find a fault in these pants for moose hunting then you are not doing it right. Trust me, these pants are awesome.
