Muddy DV8 Clutch Pants Mossy Oak Bottomland 44R
$119.99
The Muddy DV8 Clutch Pants in Mossy Oak Bottomland are purpose-built hunting pants for active bowhunters and rifle hunters who need gear that moves with them, not against them. Built from a 96% polyester/4% spandex ripstop blend, these pants offer genuine 4-way stretch across the seat, thighs, and knees—the articulation points where you need it most when stalking through timber, climbing to a stand, or glassing from a ridge. The tapered leg profile keeps fabric off your boots and out of brush, eliminating snags and the excess material that catches on branches.
Silence matters in the field, and the Muddy DV8 delivers: a smooth brushed backing replaces the noisy synthetic rustle common in cheaper hunting pants, letting you move through your hunting area without alerting game. The fabric is rated UPF 50 for UV protection during extended days afield, and a scent-eliminating anti-microbial treatment helps keep human odor at bay over repeated wears and between washes. You'll find oversized zippered cargo pockets on both legs—room for your phone, rangefinder, or hunting knife without reshaping the fit—plus a dedicated knife reinforcement pocket that both protects the fabric from blade wear and gives you a quick-access spot for your primary cutting tool.
These are serious working pants for serious hunting. The 44R sizing fits hunters who need a waist around 44 inches and a standard inseam. The temperature range of 50°F to 85°F (layered as needed) covers early fall and spring seasons; pair them with base layers for late-season sits or wear them solo on mild days.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the 44R sizing—what does that mean?
The 44R indicates a 44-inch waist with a regular-length inseam. These are fitted to that measurement; if you're unsure whether this size is right for you, measure your natural waist and inseam before ordering.
Will these pants keep me quiet in thick brush?
Yes. The smooth brushed backing is engineered to eliminate the synthetic noise common in hunting apparel, so you can move through cover without alerting game to your presence. The tapered leg also reduces brush contact and snagging, which helps minimize incidental noise.
Can I wear these pants year-round?
The designed temperature range is 50°F to 85°F with layering as needed. For colder weather, layer thermal or fleece base layers underneath. For hotter conditions, the breathable ripstop and UPF 50 rating make them suitable for early-season hunting, but they're not lightweight shorts—expect them to be warmest in moderate temperatures.
What's in those cargo pockets, and is there really a knife pocket?
Both legs have oversized zippered cargo pockets sized for phones, knives, rangefinders, and other field gear. There's also a dedicated knife reinforcement pocket with reinforced fabric to protect the pants from blade wear and give you a convenient spot to carry your primary cutting tool.
