I usually use cheap cargo woodland work pants. It's all right if it's not too cold and dry, kuiu guide pants when it's cold and/or wet and big bill merino when it's really cold. Kuiu is great and all but really expensive...
I know you did this review a while back, and just came across it, but great review and appreciate the details for setup/options/layering! Recently started to switch to KUIU and won't go back =)
Rabbit hole indeed lol…I stumbled into Prana stretch Zion pants for training in the off season here in TN (hot as hell and sticker bushes everywhere) and scouting for deer. I take them with me to CO for 1st or second season rifle every year. They will get eat up by stickers and thorns but you can roll them up and fasten them. I’m headed to AK September and was on the fence about the attacks. Thanks for the review!
@@jessemyers4157 Nice!! We have a lot of shootable Moose here in North Idaho. Cheap tag for residents but brutally expensive for Non residents. Best of luck Jesse!!
been loving the sitka apex for its versatility and durability..hunt in hawaii all the time busting thru lantenas in hot weather and the pants shine! the kuiu attack is torn to shreds busting thru those thorny plants
The trick is to open them prior to going out on your objective. That’s what keeps you cool as you climb and gain more temp you essentially cooked yourself leaving vents closed at the jump. Hope this helps pal
@@johnnymotoeveryday8206 i completely understand the body just heats up so fast i fell well mine does i start sweating just walking and I’m in good shape I’d like to think haha
@@WaterMaloneeeewhen you move sometimes less is more. I would probably wear guide pants and a base layer. I use a cheap sleeping bag and a swagman roll if I have to stop or if I go shooting 🤷

I agree with you and I even have a couple pair of Costco fleece lined canvas style jeans

Hey James I appreciate the kind words! Glad I could help you make your decisions!!
Are these the BOURBON color or Ash? I'd really like to know!
Bourbon! But I have the Kutana in Ash and they are my fave pant/color combo. Happy Hunting and ADV’n Brother 👍🏼!!

I like that! In the mountains I like to start on the cooler side 👍🏼

I wear them -15Celsius in northern Canada haha
Really? Planning to purchase this one too. But I'd plan to use base layer. Wonder how is it without. What you think?

Zippers separate from teeth after a year. Durable? Not a chance. Garbage Chinese manufacturing.
Haven’t experienced that yet but that’s a bummer if you have 👍🏼
I want to hunt with you!
