When temperatures climb, Sitka’s Mercury Pant are designed to keep hunters cool and comfortable. Expanding its lineup of purpose-built pants, Sitka has introduced this breathable, ultra-durable option designed for early-season, warm-weather hunts.

"Early-season hunting demands technical features optimized for success in every scenario of the stalk,” said John Barklow, director of product integration at Sitka. “With the Mercury Pant joining our lineup of proven gear, we’re giving hunters more tools to stay prepared when it matters most, helping them hunt more comfortably and effectively.”

With the goal of creating the lightest, most breathable pant possible without sacrificing the durability hunters trust, the Mercury Pant promises comfort for hard-charging, warm-weather hunts. Built with rugged Cordura fabric and reinforced knee pad pockets, it is built to stand up to tough terrain, even during prone stalks. Finally, lightweight construction and mesh-backed pockets enhance airflow, to keep things cool on the hottest days.
