Sitka Gear Ascent Pant Features

• 4-Way stretch CORDURA® nylon woven blend provides maximum durability against scrub and scree while remaining incredibly lightweight
• Polygiene® Odour Control Technology naturally neutralises bacteria caused by sweat, keeping you undetectable to game during multi-day trips
• Articulated fit ensures a total range of motion with minimal bulk, preventing fabric from bunching behind the knees or at the waist
• Mesh-backed pockets double as integrated vents, allowing you to increase airflow manually when the activity level spikes
• Internal mesh knee pad pockets provide the option for added protection during field dressing or low-profile crawls
• Quick-drying fabric technology ensures that morning dew or light rain evaporates rapidly, keeping you dry and light on your feet

Performance in the Heat

The Ascent Pant is the premier choice for “charging” through difficult terrain. Because the fabric is a 4-way stretch brushed nylon, it doesn’t just move with you, it actively manages the micro-climate against your skin. This is the lightest trouser in the Sitka range, specifically built to handle high-output aerobic activity in warmer temperatures. Whether you are glassing from a sun-exposed ridge or navigating dense woodland, the breathability of the Ascent ensures that perspiration is moved away from the body before it can cause discomfort.

Frequent Questions About the Ascent Pant

Is the Ascent Pant durable enough for thick brush?

Despite its lightweight feel, the inclusion of CORDURA® fibres makes these trousers remarkably abrasion-resistant. They are built to withstand contact with rock and thorns that would tear standard hiking trousers, making them a reliable choice for rugged hunting environments.

Can I wear these in cold weather?

The Ascent is primarily a warm-weather pant. However, because of its technical fit, it can be used in cooler transitions if paired with a high-performance base layer. For dedicated late-season cold, you may find the windproofing of the Jetstream Jacket is a necessary upper-body pairing to maintain your core temp.

How does the sizing work?

The Ascent Pant features a technical fit, meaning it is designed to be streamlined to prevent snagging on vegetation. If you prefer a looser “lifestyle” fit or plan to wear heavy layers underneath, some users choose to size up, though the 4-way stretch typically accommodates your standard size comfortably.
