These Sitka men's Traverse pants are great for hunting in various outdoor settings. To use them, simply put them on like regular pants. The two - way front zip makes it easy to get in and out. Use the zippered seat and leg pockets to store your small essentials like keys or a compass. When it comes to maintenance, you can machine - wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the water - repellent finish. Hang them to dry to keep their shape. Also, be careful with sharp objects around the reinforced knife overlay on the hand pocket to prevent any unnecessary wear. And remember, the water - repellent finish is durable but may lose its effectiveness over time, so you might need to re - treat the pants if you notice water starting to soak in.
