As others have noted, I like to wear long pants for protection while bushwhacking through nettles, raspberry vines and such. However, the usual light weight nylon fishing pants don't offer much protection, especially when they are wet. Anyone know of a good wading pant solution that is quick drying, but sturdy enough for bushwhacking?
How about some waist high breathable waders? That's what I use when I wear waders (hate chest waders). I got my waist high breathables from cabelas for about $89
