Honestly best bang for your buck. Ive got 7-8 pairs all in different colors. Wear them all summer in Islamorada and keep me warm in the "winter". Get blood or faded throw them out and buy a new pair.


Second recommendation. Ive got about 5 pairs of these that I bought 5 years ago. Blood and guts wash out easy of these. Haven't faded yet. More money spent better quality. Just be careful climbing poling platform.
 
Hi guys,
What's everyone wearing for warm weather fishing pants (brands & styles)?
I live in SWFL and I'm looking for light weight breathable fishing pants... I prefer something that isn't to baggy... They don't need to be tight fitting, just don't want a ton of extra material that could potentially get hung up on boat things.
I am a cheap bastard especially for clothes i am going to sweat thru, bleed on, covered with scales, get procure everywhere, etc.

These are AMAZING and worth every cent of $90.00. I have 2 pair, bothe over 10 years old and still in great shape and super comfy out on the skiff all day in the summer. mine are old so dont have the bug repellent so not sure what that is exactly.

If you have an Academy near you the Magellan Laguna Madre pants are great and pretty reasonable. They fit me well, not too baggy, look pretty decent and very comfortable.
 
I've been using Unifirst SofTwill work pants for years with great success. They dry quickly and hold up very well to abuse unlike many name brands. you can get lighter colors like Khaki, but if you wanted to be on a budget, you can get a bulk amount of these pants on e-bay. Granted they are used in that case, but cheap, durable, and surprisingly comfortable. They won't contour your buttocks being more of a work oriented pair of pants though, unfortunately.
 
I reference this post a lot when shopping, and I will say that at ICAST HUK had some fly fishing pants in the new product show called Creekbed or maybe Creekbend that look amazing - like the free fly, just ultra light and soft long pants.

Not sure when they will be available but I'm waiting for those as I love everything HUK makes a lot.
 
I just got two pair of skinny water culture pants drifter and they’re super light and not baggy. Also have a couple pair of the Free Fly pants and really like them as well. I’m with you, I don’t like the wide leg baggy style.
 
Watch those free fly pants getting out of the water around loose women.
