Intercept Pant Reviews

Intercept pants

Fit is true to size. Very comfortable and appear to be durable in brush and rocks. I have worn these in 40-60 deg temps and never got to hot or to cold

So close.....

After 10 days of archery elk hunting this is my experience. Let me start with the material. I really like the upgrade. Slightly heavier than the ambient and definitely more durable and slightly warmer. Over all it is a great pant and the rest is me being picky but not sure if I'd buy another pair. The vents are good but could be great. If they put a little mesh to prevent debris from getting in. I had to keep stopping to empty the bottom of my pants in the timber when it was hot and I had them open. The other thing is I am not a fan of the new knee pads. They are more streamline than the old ambient pants. For me they didn't feel as thick and comfortable as the old pads and the taper didn't fit my knees I guess. A majority of the time when I knelt I didn't always catch a big enough part of the knee pad. One could say I had wrong length pant but wearing a tall the regular would have been worse. Don't get me wrong I did like the pant but for me I may go back to my ambient or something else.

Saddle Hunting

Have been using these strictly for saddle hunting. Temps anywhere from 75 to 95. Side vents a plus. Very quiet. I bought these hoping the internal knee pads would allow me to leave my over-the-pant knee pads behind. The internal pads work great. So far, 7 sits on both smooth barked and rough barked trees. Fabric around the knees show no wear. My large cell phone easily slides in the internal side pocket.

Best pants ever

I own almost every hunting pant Sitka makes and this by far the best yet!! Super quiet and really like the side vents. It gets hot here in Wyoming on September elk hunts and this really fit the bill! I really like the lichen green color and gonna buy the Subalpine also. Couldn’t be more satisfied!!!

Perfect!

Tank you for the vent system, I waited for it for ages... just finished a sheep hunt in the Yukon, the new pants are awesome. I hope you carry the vent system over to all future pants. Best Sitka pants every (so far)

Perfect archery pants

These pants are perfect for warmer season august and September archery. They are dead silent. They breathe. They can vent when you’re hot. They got knee pads for crawling. Super durable. By far my new favorite archery pants. They will be the only ones I wear. I think they fit slightly big. If I measure my waist with a tape measurer it’s just about 37.5 inches and the 36T are actually a little roomy. They do have some stretch to them.

Vents and new knee pads are clutch

Just got back from a fly-in hunt in the Richardson mountains and wore these chasing Dall’s sheep and mountain caribou for a week and a half. They held up super well. Plenty durable for even the most remote and rugged hunts. Fit is true. Vents and new knee pads are clutch, I do wish all Sitka pants had this side vent. Didn’t feel wind passing through them until it hit about 35-40 mph. Worked well on a spot and stalk in the alpine tundra. Loved the solid colour option.

Side zip is a game changer!

Used this on a recent Bear hunt. Tough pant that breathes well.
