Your FE Wish List

[John Hudgens]

Zip-off pants. Hear me out… Usually it’s cool when I set off on a hunt, but warms up quickly through the day and based on how far I have to track a not-not-alive-yet animal (let’s be honest here). I want a trouser that I can put on in the morning, zip off into shorts in the field, then zip back on for post-hunt libations in the lodge.

Priorities:

1. Very discreet zipper / seam. After all, no one wants to be seen in zip-offs.
2. Max 5.5” inseam at the zip off point. Should be at an appropriate length for African safari’s.
3. Packable, wrinkle proof leg sleeves that are easily stuffed into your pack.
4. No baggy cargo pockets or other indicators that these are in fact zip-offs
5. A zipper system that is quiet, reliable, durable, and easy to use when I’m trying to transition without anyone seeing me
6. Discreet zipper running the length of the leg so that you can keep your boots on while converting. Tripping and falling over myself while trying to get my pants on/off is nightmare fuel

They actually did the BRCC Collab, it was called Dangerous game and pretty good
