Detailed Overview
Detailed Overview
The Vesper is the quietest, most comfortable and durable early season pair of pants you will ever own. Built for multi-day backcountry hunts, the feature set is designed to be simple and functional with off-set thigh cargo pockets, one-handed zipper operation and full length hip vents.
Made with a durable 2-way stretch nylon fabric with a PFAs free DWR coating, full length hip vents, bonded seams in high wear areas and a lightweight, breathable brushed pocket mesh, the Vesper will keep you cool and comfortable on early season hunts, but we put enough room in the legs so you can layer underneath to use them through the season. With a mid-length rise and a generous gussetted crotch, the Vesper allows maximum un-restriced range of movement for hiking in the mountains.
The Vesper is designed with a tapered leg fit to minimize fabric rubbing and catching on brush. We also included a fly zipper that goes to the top of the waist band to minimze waist stretch over the course of multi-day hunts.
The technical features, fit and construction of the Vesper Pant make it the ideal early season pant for mountain hunting.

Quiet and dries quickly are my primary concerns when it comes to a mountain pant. These pants do all that very well. Next is the fit I'm 6'2" 200lbs. athletic build legs fit and crotch fit great and this is my primary problem with other mountain pants. There's no bunching or tight spots when needing to crouch for a stalk or stay low and move to get closer. I find this to be a problem in other pants where I'll get pinching behind my knees or crotch area making the stalk uncomfortable when its the moment of truth.
My only criticism is the pocket configuration is a little basic. I would prefer more pockets so I can organize essentials in various pockets vs. stuffing things all together and having to sift through my pockets to get what I need. However the stretch is so good you still dont get the pinching even with loaded pockets.
Great pants. I’m a guide, I really enjoyed these during archery season. Great fit and function. My go-to pant
I just put the Argali Vesper Pants through about as good of a real-world test as I could ask for, 12 days elk hunting in the Colorado backcountry.
Over those 12 days, I dealt with everything from warm afternoons and long climbs to cold mornings, wind, rain, wet vegetation, and constantly changing mountain weather. I put a lot of miles on these pants, climbed through steep and nasty terrain, busted brush, and spent long days living out of a pack.
The Vesper Pants performed incredibly well.
They’re lightweight and breathable when you’re moving, but still provided enough protection when the weather turned. The stretch and freedom of movement were excellent on steep climbs and sidehilling, and they never felt restrictive. Just as importantly, after nearly two weeks of hard backcountry use, they held up extremely well.
What impressed me most was their versatility. Instead of constantly changing layers as conditions changed, the Vespers handled a huge range of temperatures and weather. For a backcountry hunt where every ounce matters and I want gear that can serve multiple purposes, that’s exactly what I’m looking for.
After 12 straight days chasing elk through the Colorado mountains, I can confidently say the Argali Vesper has earned a permanent spot in my hunting system.
Comfortable, lightweight, durable, breathable, and built for the mountains. I’ll absolutely be wearing them on my next elk hunt.
I’ve had the Vespers and wanted to hold off on review until mid season. Thank you Brad for developing these. Best bowhunting pant on the market, hands down! After 10 days on the mountain and a brutal pack out, they’ve held up amazingly well.
Great pants but a few tweaks would improve. Burrs stick to the fabric pretty badly in sw Montana. I hunted Idaho and it wasn’t an issue so depends on local ground cover. A cell phone inner drop pocket would be nice. I hold my bow in my right hand and phone goes in right cargo pocket but it bangs my bow from being loose in the pocket. Actually like the undersized waist so no belt is needed, which is nice when running a multi day pack or meat packing.
Perfect! Exactly what I expect when buying Argali gear! I wore these for a couple days scouting in the high country. Lightweight, durable and the side vents dumped heat when I needed it.
The build quality and technical thought that went into these pant is superb! I wore them throughout turkey season here in Arkansas and they were extremely comfortable and durable. There are a lot of blackberry briars where I hunt and they are a nightmare on pants. While the Vesper pant had a few thread pulls it held up far better than other brands of equal or higher price point. Can’t wait for a camo version!!
The Argali Vesper Pant have been getting a serious workout lately, and they’ve held up across the board. Archery shoots, building courses, hikes, rucks—they’ve seen a bit of everything already.
First thing you notice is comfort. These are easy to live in all day. They’ve also proven plenty durable so far, which matters when you’re not exactly taking it easy on your gear.
Fit-wise, they’re solid with one note—the waist runs a little tighter than expected, especially compared to the Torrex pant. But the cut through the thighs is spot on, and for me at 5'3", 155, the length is a huge win. No excess fabric bunching up like I usually deal with.
The vents are great, but the zippers are next-level. Smooth, easy to grab, and you can open them mid-stride without any hiccups. Seems like a small thing, but it’s not common.
Big fan of the pocket layout too. Knife and flashlight ride further out on the hip, staying out of the way but still easy to access.
These feel like a well-thought-out piece of gear that just works.
Because I basically neglected all others I own once I got my hands on these. Rainy Alaska in August, Wyoming Bowhunting in September, even Rifle Hunting in a mild October and November, these were my go to. Love the fit and pockets, while still being a quiet pant that dries well and vents great.
capable and durable pair of pants. Was pleasantly surprised by how warm they were. Only critique is the waist sizing was smaller than what I usually get from a 34 but still fit.
I wore this pant on two elk hunts this season; one bow hunt and a rifle hunt. The area I was in had a ton of dead fall. There were places where you could not even take 4 steps without trying to figure out how you were going to get over the next downed tree that, of course, still had a ton of branches. The pants were constantly getting snagged on those branches but held up like a champ; no rips or tears despite it all. My legs were never overly sweaty or uncomfortable thanks to the vents, despite of highs being the 70s and tons of sun. I'm very happy and impressed with the pant and highly recommend them.
The vest for pants fit well and I’m looking forward to using them this deer season.
These pants are comfortable and look good. The quality is there all through the fabric, zippers, seams. At 6’2 and 165lbs the size 32 fit well. I like finding 31x34 so I would say they are a little snug for a true 32 waist. The side hip vents are nice and long, they actually dump heat, but are not uncomfortable or bunched funny when zipped up. Nice slim cargo pockets with a surprising amount of room in them, even tho they don’t look big or baggy. So far they seem to be holding up without piling, comfortable fabric and great attention to details. Will buy more argali gear if this is there standard!
Worn on a 10 day backcountry elk hunt in Colorado, all 10 days. Preformed amazing, very comfortable. Tried these out this year to see if I wanted to make the switch, planning to order 2-3 more, love them. Fit was spot on with regular jeans.
I just returned form my 2 week back country elk hunt and wore the Vesper pant. A few amazing features blew away competition (Kuiu and Stone Glacier). The fabric is so quiet and stretches perfectly. The best feature is the zippers, they are so smooth and the only pant I’ve found with one hand operation!!! Love these pants, outstanding job nailing the design.
I've hunted in these pants for the 2026 archery season and have been very pleased. They fit well and move well while hiking and sitting. These are lighter than other hunting pants I've used before and the vent seem to work better to keep my cool.
I wish I could order in selected lengths, because mine are a touch too long, but it was never a problem while hiking. It also takes a bit to get used to the zipper/button.
Overall, these were and excellent purchase and I would recommend them over other pants on the market.
Good pants. My personal preference is hip vents without mesh like SG pants. The little bit of debris that might come in through open vents is a small price to pay for the huge improvement in venting heat because even mesh vents hold too much heat for me. I'd also prefer flaps over my thigh pockets rather than zippers because I've never lost anything from a thigh pocket that just had flaps and there is less noise and quicker access. With all that being said, these are still great pants. I'd put these right up there with the De Havilland Lite from SG with mesh vs no mesh being the deciding factor for me. The Vesper is quieter and the fabric lighter. It has a great fit and I didn't feel like it stretched in anyway after multiple days afield. I like the fit at the boots as well as there isn't excess fabric to rub when you're walking. These pants look just as good on the street as they do out in the mountains. Money well spent; you can't go wrong with purchasing a pair of these pants.
Phenomenal pants. Fit in all the right ways.
As an early season pant, that will no doubt get very sweaty, how does the waist do after multiple days? Most pants I’ve worn for early season after 5 or 6 days stretch out and grow an inch or two. How do these ones do?
Hi Jay,
We've done some pretty extensive testing on multi-day backpack hunts from July-September across the west so we have a lot of data on the performance. We have a special fabric inside of the waist band that prevents the fabric from stretching over time. You will see some very, very minor stretching over the course of a trip, but we put a lot of effort in to make sure the waist maintained its' structure over the course of a longer backpack hunt and can confidently say it is minimal if it stretches at all.
