Ultralight Ascent Pant with Knee Pad Pocket is Ideal for Archery HuntersThe Ascent Pant offers maximum breathability and mobility. This is the go-to pant for any warm weather western hunt. 4-way stretch fabric is durable and mesh-backed pockets add ventilation.

This pant is the mainstay of hunters across the west and inspired the saying, “Superman wears Sitka Pajamas.” In terms of weight and comfort, you could confuse it for a pajama pant. It’s ultra-breathable and fully gusseted for exceptional range of movement, never bunching in the crotch. But unlike sleepwear, it’s durable. Sitka designed the Ascent Pant for brush busting and built it from rugged, yet quiet, 4-way stretch woven polyester. With articulated knees, it’s shaped for the hunter on the move.

The Ascent Pant expels heat and perspiration to keep you comfortable as you chew through the early season miles. A roll-up snap system keeps your cuffs dry for creek crossings. And as the weather turns, you can layer underneath well into the mid season. A zippered rear pocket, two hip pockets, and easy access cargo pockets offer plenty of space to tuck in the essentials.


“I tend to run hot, but the Ascents are the one pair of pants I can’t overheat in. They get me clear through October in Colorado and are perfect for antelope and archery elk season. The four-way stretch gives me fantastic range of motion, and is a necessity for my style of hunting. Comfortable, versatile, and quiet, these pants are a key part of my arsenal.” —Sitka Athlete Wes Atkinson
