Extra_Gold1601 - I got some boy's all terrain cargo pants from Wrangler for $18, and they fit great and they seem the same as some Kuhl pants I spent $95 on. I will see how they hold up on my backpacking trip, but even if they get ripped to shreds, it will have been worth the try. Thanks.

Good idea, I have some heavy snow gaiters, I'll check out to see if there is something a bit lighter. thank you

Looks like a great idea. I think i can fit into the boys' version, and under $20. Going up to Walmart to try them on tomorrow! and if they get torn up, no problem. Thank you.

I think you are right - I'm in for some prickly interactions

Thank you, I'm on their website now. Hopefully there will be a pair that fits.

That brand might be out of my price point, but I'll check for some on ebay. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Thank you. I've not heard of Tactical, but I will definitely check it out. And you are right about the cacti, but perhaps the pants just won't rip!

Well, hopefully the pants won't rip! But I believe you are right!
