Anyone out there wearing these pants and what do you think of em? Are they as good as they sound, the reviews on big box store pages don't tell me much! I feel the guys on this site are as eat up with turkey stuff as I am and will give me a "real" review on these. From knee pads to water proof and everything in between let me have it! Thanks

If they are the ones with the duralite material I have them. I don't use the knee pads at all so I can't comment on that. They are nice and light. Perfect if you cover a lot of ground. Durability seems fair since getting light weight breathability and durability in one package can be tough. Otherwise I have no complaints and would buy another pair if needed.

I like the idea of them but IMO they are very hot and you will find others that say the same thing

I have two pairs that I picked up this past fall. One pair is the Duralite which I hunted in some during the fall season, the other are also the technical pants but I got them off eBay and they are an older style. I've seen people complain about them being hot and complain about the waterproof forearms on the shirts, but I wonder if those complaints are mostly based on that older style? The set I got off eBay are at least twice as heavy as the Duralite set, and the shirt from that set has the waterproof lining in the forearm part of the sleeve (the Duralite ones don't). I haven't had a chance to wear mine in temperatures over about 70 degrees so far, but the Duralite ones are the lightest camo clothing I own. The real test will come this spring, but hunting this fall I was extremely happy with them. I personally like the knee pads, but they are easy to take out if you don't care for them.

I have a pair, really nothing special, but like them for warmer weather. The knee pads, aren't much to speak of, just an interior pocket at the knee with a thin dense foam insert. Best feature, is the vivid camo pattern, as I was looking for a good pattern with green, and these were good in the Mossy Oak Obssesion.
As for the shirt, didn't get it, just bought a matching U.A. Heat Gear shirt in Mossy Oak Obssesion, like the Heat Gear better.

The only problem I have with them is that the pockets are not deep enough. I have to make sure that my truck keys haven't fallen out after sitting.

i have these and used them this past season. I like them because they are feather weight and feel nice when it gets hot towards the end of the season. I also don't use the knee pads and wish they made the call holders on the legs actually big enough to fit a call. They have a place for a pot call and a box call but good luck fitting anything in them. ol Tom makes some nice gear but they dropped the ball here in my opinion. nice concept poor engineering.
