Mine are still going strong. They don't breath like higher end brands, maybe they're not supposed to, so trekking around in the heat is a little warm.
Also, skeeters do not penetrate them.
 
For those in East Tennessee or coming here anytime. There is a chain of stores called Hammers store. They always have a huge supply of these kinds of Wranglers for under $20.00. Hammers deals in 2nds a lot but I think most of the wranglers were purchased as discontinued styles not 2nds.

I'm putting this here for a few reasons. 1.) This is my favorite sub forum 2.) This type of hunting is usually geared towards these types of pants 3.) Less traffic means this thread will not get lost as easily and I'll be able to revisit it.

So, I swung into my local Walmart and a pair of Wrangler pants caught my eye. I know a few people that highly recommend a certain type of wrangler pants for hiking/hunting. These may or may not be it.

For $26 I thought, "heck I'll try em on". Wow, a great fit right off the bat. Super stretchy all over. More of an athletic fit so someone like Luke Bryan who has a camel toe might not like them.

So far so good, so I purchased them.

This am I decided to put them to the test. Squat day in the gym. Once again, athletic fit but super stretchy. It doesn't bother me but if you prefer baggy these are not for you.
My workout was not impacted at all by the pants. The squatting motion is a pretty typical movement for me in the field so I feel like this was a good test of comfort, mobility and a quick test of durability (albeit I'm not overly concerned with that in a $26 pair of britches).

I'm excited to wear these some more. Hoping to do a short hike here soon. Possibly a quick rabbit hunt.

As for fit, I'm 5'10" and a fluffy/post holiday 180lbs. I picked up a size 32/32. The 33" we're a tad loose and knowing I'm not at my normal body condition I sized down anyways. I still have a little slack in the waist. I prefer a 32" leg because I can't stand my pants riding up and when I wear gaiters it just feels better. I did try on 33/30 but the waist was too big.

I found them on the internet for BOGO 1/2 off. A few dollars more than Wally World but if shipping is reasonable then this will be a good deal, imo. Plus they have many colors to choose from for hunting purposes.

I'll report back on durability. I suspect they will not handle brush very well but then again they might.
They are moisture wicking which is a huge bonus. The athletic fit might prevent wearing long underwear, I'll test that later.

Are they loose fitting and fit over boots? I bought a pair that the OP mentioned but they're a bit tighter than my liking and will not fit over my boots without looking like skinny jeans. They're ok with shoes or short hiking boots.

Depends on whether are are a 36" waist still trying to get into 34" pants or not :D . To me they aren't "tight" but they aren't "relaxed fit" either. But they will go over my boots.

Interesting. Mine don't fit that way, I'd describe more of athletic fit vs a boot cut, my wife and daughter both bought a pair too (men's style) and they fit over their boots well too.

Here I am wearing them over a pair of Lowa Tibets boots.
They even make great fly fishing pants😛

I stopped at a Tractor Supply yesterday and they had some so thought I'd try them on to see if they fit different from the pair I bought and they had a looser fit and went over my boots fine. Took a picture of the tag and then checked them against the pair I bought and yep they're different. 🤦‍♂️ The ones at TSC match the ones in your initial link showing All Terrain Gear. The pair I bought are not so now I know it was my dumbarse buying the wrong ones. Gonna have to go back and get a pair or two.
 
I like the tractor supply pants after wearing jeans for years. Rural king more narrow legged for you dancing types but basically the same. Both are great deals at ~_$20
 
@AT Hiker I picked up a pair of these this week and I'm glad for the recommendation - been on a no sugar diet for 2 months (no Calfkiller booo) and actually went down a size - thanks!
