Best Use: Whitetail - Cold Conditions

Purpose built for stand hunting in cool to cold conditions, this un-insulated softshell pant is equipped with an ultra-quiet, low-sheen outer layer, with a bonded jacquard fleece interior for increased warmth while maintaining optimal breathability and temperature regulation. The jacquard fleece is not only lighter weight, but its negative space traps pockets of warm air for added comfort.

Whitetail hunting focused features include vertical entry pockets that are easily accessible while seated, fully adjustable and removable suspenders, and lower leg side zippers for easy on/off and fitting over boots. For added stealth and silence, all zippers feature quiet sliders.

The articulated design of this pant fits close around the hips and waist with a relaxed straight leg. Upsize if you measure between sizes or if you prefer a loose fit.

Layering Example – Cold to Frigid Conditions:
*For an individual measuring size: L / 36R

Brief: ULTRA Merino Boxer Brief – L
Base Layer: Encounter 200 Fleece Bottom – L
Hunting Pant: Encounter Pant – 36R
