Field Cuff KHP Marsh Pants
To describe the genius of these pants, you have to start at the cuff, an area overlooked in the design of most upland and duck-hunting pants. The rack-on-rib knit wool cuff snugs to your hunting boot top—keeping out the cold—or to your ankle, which makes sliding into high rubber boots or waders easier. KHP canvas is field-tested briar pants material. We sourced this 11.5-oz. cotton fabric from the original manufacturer of a pair of briar pants worn by three generations of our chairman's family. The fabric is heavily washed to tighten the grid-like weave and to soften the pants. Lined at the seat and thigh with a moisture-repellent cotton poplin. Internal suspender buttons. Cotton web with leather tab suspenders sold separately. Pants feature deep, 11" front pockets and rear button-close flap pocket. In field khaki. Washable. Imported.Even waist sizes: 32-46.

Great pants for hip boots.,
February 2, 2013
By: BackBayWaterfowler
from Back Bay, VA
"I liked these so much that I bought a second pair. Perfect for inside waders or hip boots. Would recommend waxing or using gore-tex on the seat bottom to make it water-resistant when sitting in boat or duck blind before shooting time."

disappointed,
January 14, 2013
By: CSMret
from Florida
"This is my second pair with the same problem, the buttons are poorly sewn on. I just goose hunted in Texas for 3 days and 4 buttons came off a brand new pair never been worn before. I had to wear a belt aafter the first day. Same problem I had with first pair. Everything else is great about them - they fit well, true to size, elastic cuffs are great with waders and the material wears well. For the money these cost the sewing should be bettter."

Great Anti-brush Pants,
January 9, 2013
By: Autoslim62
from Southfield, MI
"I had purchased a pair of these with the suspenders to wear for Duck and Pheasant hunting. I finally wore them for a recent early January Pheasant hunt. I am 6'-3" and 230 lbs and they fit a little snug, but that might ease up when they get broken in. Kept me warm for a half day european hunt with afternoon walk up with just a pair of midweight thermal underware underneath. I think a heavy pair of longjohns would be too tight. We pushed thru some very heavy brush on the walk up and they did not snag, and a few times I had to kneel down in the snow to to pick up a bird or dropped shell and the snow just brushed off with out making the fabric wet."

Good but need tall size,
December 16, 2012
By: TallHunter56
"Bought these with some reservation cause I normally need a 34 inch inseam and these are about 3-4 inches too short and ride up to about 6-7 inches from floor when wearing/ sitting. Too short if not wearing tall boots/waders. Hunted in my Muck boots today and nice to slip pants in without bunching. Orvis should add gusset crotch for improved movement. Knitting on cuff could be tighter to help keep in place better. Overall OK given the limited choice in hunting pants like these from any other suppliers. Would prefer a darker color as mine got pretty stained up going through the wet cover/brush chasing pheasants in the melting snow."

"I've been looking for a pair of wader pants and these fit the bill. The cotton is tough enough for briars but does not restrict movement inside waders. I plan to wear them for upland game as well as waterfowling."

Tough,
October 5, 2012
By: MoorlandWanderer
from Durham, UK
"These are amazingly tough trousers. I can wade through the harshest tangles of bramble without a thought, although gorse prickles can penetrate. They partner brilliantly with the Gokey Wetlander boots.
Because the fabric is thick, it takes a lot of water before they get wet to the skin, so wet undergrowth and some rain is no problem, although they do become stiffer when wet. I've never got them soaked through, but I think they would be pretty uncomfortable if I did.
I've used Nikwax Cottonproof on them to reduce their absorbancy with some success.
I have two problems with these trousers:
The braces buttons take a lot of force due to the weight of the trouser and I found the stitching quickly came undone. Stitching them back on through this tough, dense, thick material is not easy!
Secondly, I wish Orvis made them in a smaller size. My waist measures 33" but the 32" minimum size is too big and baggy and looks rather silly on me unless I have a very baggy top on to match and cover the trouser top. The excess fabric also reduces my freedom of movement."

"Just returned from a moose hunt in northern BC where the aptly named marsh pants were indispensable. Every claim made in the product description was true... and then some. Excellent material and craftmanship. Perfect sizing. The best."

Fabulous!,
March 12, 2012
By: HappyDuckDog
from Derwood, Maryland
"These babies will take a direct hit! The craftsmanship in these pants is superb and the quality of materials will exceed anyone's expectations.
These pants laugh at raspberry thorns! Have worn afield and laundered once. Did not shrink but got noticeably softer. Rather high waisted and full cut in the thighs and seat but comfortable. They will be my go to field pants. I expect them to last forever based upon the durable fabric and zipper. I would expect the knit cuff to eventually need replacing based upon what I will put them through. Is that something that Orvis can do?
Lighter than the jeans and waxed canvas chaps that I normally wear and thus more comfortable and less tiring. Knit cuffs slip into waders and rubber boots without ankle gaiters, so no uncomfortable bunching as with jeans.
The fabric is heavy duty but has a nice feel. Should Orvis make an upland shirt of the same fabric I would have to buy one. (forest green so it does not look like a uniform, please)."

Good...but noet perfect,
February 5, 2012
By: MIpheasanthunter
from Southeast lower Michigan
"Let me begin by saying that I congradulate Orvis for offering this style of hunting pants. I favor the traditional brown cotton duck version with ribbed cuffs. (The first pair was bought for me by my late father at Sears in 1967.) I have purchased three pairs of these pants over the years as my waist size changed <sigh> and I can detect some subtle changes. For example, the color seems to be getting lighter in shade which I view as a mild negative. I would like to see these same pants offered in an additional color of hunter green. One thing that has been a consistent short coming has been the less than deep rear pockets -- they are too shallow for my tastes. On the other hand, the ribbed cuffs seem to have been well made and hold their shape. I would like to see these pants offered in a heavier weight than the current 11.5 oz to accomodate upland hunters in colder climates. Still, the fabric has received a well deserved retutation of holding up well and I would agree with this. I continue to favor these pants and would encourage others to seriously consider purchasing them. If Orvis could make a few changes like I have mentioned, these pants would be ideal in my eyes."

great design,
January 18, 2012
By: homecookin
from Norfolk/eastern shore, Virginia
"I bought these first because I wanted the traditional brown canvas duck hunting pants, and also liked the idea of the ribbed cuffs, as I am in and out of hip boots all day, and the bottoms always bunch up. These slip on with no problem; a great feature.
The canvas has good water repellant, and I broke them in by getting stuck up to my thighs in "Chincoteague glue" and they stayed dry, and brushed off once the mud dried.
The calves are a little tight if you have big calves. Otherwise a comfortable cut. Deep pockets, but I'd like to see a flap on both rear pockets.
Very comfortable for walking, and not hot like oil cloth."

"I've been debating purchasing these Marsh Pants for a couple of years and pulled the trigger this winter. I'm glad I did: the fit, quality, and good looks frankly exceeded my high expectations. I wear Muck Boots on most of my hunts in New England where the woodcock and partridge seem most prolific where the terrain is worst and wettest. The Marsh Pants slide right into place inside my boots and don't ride up or balloon at the knee, and the extra canvas layers on the thighs & seat will give me some welcome extra wear while crashing through those thorny coverts. Very good product."

"I am very pleased with my purchase of the Marsh Pants. I have very large calves and I wear 13" Lace Up boots. I no longer have to fold and duct tape my pants! Even when wearing my high rubber Lacrosse boots they are very comfortable. They have somewhat of a slim fit from the knee down, but plenty of room above."
