leather brush chaps ?

[overhere]

Does anyone here where leather brush chaps for upland ? I have up land pants but the thorns still get me . And if you know a good stire to purchase them

[elkhunter11]

I use cordura chaps, and the thorns do not get through them. Leather will absorb water . which will soak through your pants, which will result in you being cold and wet. Wet leather is also heavy.

Where do you get those

I have a pair of Filson single Tin Chaps and although not leather have stood up to everything I've walked through. I found mine on Amazon years ago, but it looks like they are no longer available. You can order direct from Filson at http://www.filson.com/single-tin-chaps-1.html not sure where you could find them in store, but more retailers in Calgary (Campers Village, Hanson's Outfitters and even Canadian Tire on McLeod) carry Filson products.

I have a few pairs of chaps, the ones that I use most are sold by Browning. Any Browning dealer can bring them in.

My chaps are the Browning/ Phrasants forever chaps and are over 15 years old
They have been repaired many times and are now trimmed in leather because of the fraying on the cuffs .
They do very well on everything from Russion Olive to wild Roses
I never go anywhere without them!
I have used leather chaps in the past but find them too heavy for lots of walking

I have three pairs and wear them almost daily for work. I order directly from Filson without issue. Haven't seen them in any stores for years...

That is the same make and model of chaps that I usually wear, only mine are only a few years old.

Make sure you don"t buy the assless version or it'll be hard to get permission from landowners. Especially if you're humming YMCA during the walkup.

Only if your not wearing anything under them.

What is a good place to purchase the Pheasants Forever chaps? I am going to use some for the following season.

I order my Browning gear from Bashaw Sports.

Pretty sure all chaps are assless or they would just be pants.
