Stone Glacier Praxis Pant

Our quietest pant is built for stealth and comfort on high-stakes stalks during the early and mid seasons. There are plenty of ways to blow a stalk; with the Praxis Pant, we took noisy fabric out of the equation. We combined our favorite features of the De Havilland Pant with the whisper-quiet performance of 100% polyester. The 12” thigh vents prevent overheating, while the low-volume Contour Waist™ System creates a customized fit. Zippered thigh pockets and two rear pockets provide easy-access storage for calls, a wind check, or snacks. Articulated knees with knee pad compatibility offer unrestricted movement when you’re crawling into range. With stealth and versatility for early and mid-season hunts, the Praxis Pant is the perfect choice to help you close the last crucial yards. Our innovative Contour Waist™ System is designed specifically for increased comfort and performance when backpacking. Our goal was to eliminate bulk and allow an exact fit around the waist to reduce hot-spots on the hips as a result from miles hiked wearing a tightly cinched waist belt. By minimizing the materials needed for belt loops, removing snaps and buttons, and incorporating our micro-adjust zipper fly, the Contour Waist System provides unparalleled comfort and a 100% custom fit, unlike any other pant system. The Stratum™ Layered Zipper System is an innovative feature found on all Stone Glacier pants and bottoms. This unique system allows the wearer to vent their layers all the way to the skin for unprecedented temperature regulation without requiring the repetitive addition and removal of layers throughout the day. Increase warmth by keeping all the zippers closed during extended glassing sessions and unzip to quickly ventilate and dump heat during periods of high exertion. No matter the situation, the Stratum™ Layered Zipper System makes temperature regulation easier than ever.

Because this product doesn't include nylon in its fabric construction, it is expected to prove less durable than the workhorse that is the De Havilland LITE Pant. As soon as we can authentically speak to its durability and degree of water-repellency, we'll provide those additional mentions here! Product Videos Size Chart Stone Glacier Sizing Chart Stone Glacier products are designed with an athletic fit to provide the highest level of performance in the field. Use the sizing chart below to help guide you to the appropriately sized garment. Note, the De Havilland Pants incorporate our patented Contour™ Waist System which provides approximately 3 inches of waist adjustment to create an exact fit. How to Find Your Measurements: Note: Calculate your body measurements, then select your product size. If your measurements are between sizes, select a larger size for a looser fit or a smaller size for a tighter fit. Measured Chest: With arms relaxed at your sides, measure under your arms, around the fullest part of your chest. Measured Sleeve: With arm relaxed at your side and slightly bent, measure from center back neck, across the shoulder to elbow and down to the wrist. Measured Belt Line: Measure around your waist at the point in which your pants typically ride. Measured Inseam: From a standing position, measure from your crotch down the inside leg to the floor. Nearly all Stone Glacier pants feature our patented Contour Waist™ system, which allows for three inches of waist adjustment. Additionally, SG pants are sized accordingly for layering. If you wear a large in our base layers, you will also wear a large in other SG layers. If you are still unsure of what size pants to buy, measure your waist and reference the "Measured Belt Line" chart above.  Proper Fit & Use: Our patented Contour Waist™ System is designed to provide an exact fit around your waist. No more buying pants that are slightly too large or don’t fit quite right. As well, this system allows you to adjust the waist size of your pants to allow for a proper fit when layering base layers or insulation bottoms underneath. To adjust the Contour Waist, follow the below steps: Note: Proper fit is best achieved by adjusting the Contour Waist while wearing the pants. Unfasten the top buckle attachment and unzip the zipper fly. While the zipper fly is unzipped, detach the left side (left as when the wearer is looking down on the zipper fly) of the zipper from the hook and loop pad by pulling it down and away, starting at the top. Reattach the zipper fly to the hook and loop pad by starting at the bottom and pressing it firmly and evenly up towards the top. Attaching the zipper at a steeper angle to the left, will adjust the pants smaller. Attaching the zipper further to the right will adjust the pants larger. Once the zipper is reattached, zip up the fly as normal and fasten the top buckle, adjusting tension as necessary. Repeat steps 3 & 4 until the proper fit is achieved. Once you find your proper fit the zipper fly will work as normal and adjustment does not need to be made again until required when layering or as desired.
