Sitka Intercept Pants were designed for big game archery hunting - a pursuit that requires maximum stealth in order to get into archery range. The Intercept Pants are made from a combination of a bonded merino wool-blend and a durable nylon face. This construction promotes optimal sound, scent, and sight suppression to avoid spooking any potential game. The interior lining manages moisture and resists odor to keep smell to a minimum, and it regulates temperature for comfort through stop-and-go activity levels. The exterior is durable enough to handle long crawls over rocky, brush-covered ground, and removable D3O pads protect your knees while you wait for your shot. In addition, zippered hips vents allows you to dump heat quickly and on the move.
