Sitka Gear question
Are the mountain pants and Timberline pants windproof?

I know the seat and knees are waterproof - just want to verify windproof.. I hate the wind cutting through me...

On the pants.........as far as i know, they are not. I believe the only ones that are windproof (Windstopper) would be the Stratus pants and the Fanatic bibs.

I have a pair of the Timberline pants that I wore this last Sept. up in the Yukon on a Dall sheep hunt and they were great. We had it all.....sun, rain, sleet, snow, etc. Loved em'.

Waterproof? Depends on the conditions and what you consider waterproof. For rain, I would say yes. Sitting on ice/frost for long periods....no. The seat may get a little damp, but nothing to worry about in my opinion.

If you have not done this already, compare what you are looking at in Sitka with Kuiu.
