    Random Unthreadworthy Questions

    I tend to have a lot of them. Here's one:

    Has Xtratuf gone to shit? I thought I read something about that. Saw a pair in the store today but then I started thinking I read that they suck now. Do they?

    My wife had a pair of American made Xtratufs last 2+ seasons of gillnetting but killed a set of Chinese made in less than 1 season. This was in 2015 so perhaps they suck less now?

      They suck now. Former great brand revived by chicoms and trading on old name. No different better or worse than lacrosse, muddy, boggs etc.

        What's the burliest wool pants?
        I've had the same pair of woolrich hunting pants since 1982.
        They pockets have worn out and my girth is stretching their capability.

        I'd buy another pair, but I can't find a contemporary retailer.

        What else?

                        You should get the suspender ones.

                            They have suspender buttons; the suspenders are an add on.

                            Were I living in a cold climate all the time, I'd get the bibs though.

                              I have some woolrich pants (I think?) if you want them. Probably a 34" waist. I'd have to pull them out but they are too warm for me.
