Hey Roksliders!
The new First Lite Cipher pattern will be ready to order very shortly! I was lucky enough to get my hands on a pair of Alturas Women's Guide pants in the new Cipher pattern a few weeks ago, just in time for our Mexico trip. Cipher is a bit more "open" pattern than the Fusion and also doesn't incorporate the greens. The browns are also a bit toned down from the Fusion pattern, and almost has a grey look to it, which I really like.
When I first saw this pattern I couldn't help but think of how well it was going to blend into open, rocky and dull colored country that I typically hunt. Once in Mexico my thoughts became reality as I witnessed how well it actually blended in. Baja Mexico is very open, rocky and sparse when it comes to plant life.. other than everything that wants to stick you... it's very desolate country as one would expect. When I see a great fit for this pattern it's in the south west.. Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada are all places I think of where this pattern would dominate. I also think of the high country hunter above treeline stalking in on deer, sheep and goats among the rocks. A whitetail hunter in their tree stand once the leaves have fallen is another place I see this pattern.
Along with the Cipher pattern, the pants themselves performed awesome in that country. With all of the sharp plant life I was a little worried about putting a big rip in my pants, but I didn't give them much special care, I just walked through bushes and brushed by cactus and never put a hole in them. These Altura's pants are the exact same material as the men's Corrugate guide pants. It was hot during the day right around 80 and I thought the pants breathed very well and transferred moisture from my skin very well.
