Missed it by a day or two. Wonder if they'll send a retro code.

Man idk, check your email often for codes, and updates on the outlet if they put something new in there

Used these pants on a moose hunt this this last week. I like them. Hunted a whole day in the rain and stayed dry without the need for throwing on actual rain pants. Did a little hiking in thigh-high vegetation, lots of grassy/brushy skid-road walking, and fairly long periods of just standing in the open during a constant drizzle of rain. I could imagine some serious wet brush-busting here in N. Idaho would end up with me getting wet in these however, at least through the thighs and back of legs. That's probably not the intended use-case though. They dried quickly, and knee pads fit great for me. I felt the cargo pockets were kinda hard to get in/out of with the stiffer flap material over the zipper. They are also kinda noisy compared to my attack pants. They are also a step back in overall comfort from the more traditional soft-shell pants as they don't stretch as well. That all said, to this point, I'd buy them again.

Love love love. Knee pads are a game changer. Only got wet in thighs on soaking wet waist high grass but they dried back super quick. Truly waterproof lower legs and seat. I would like to see a gaiter hook and grommet for a boot loop on bottom of leg for use as light gaiters. Kinda how the fjallravens are.

Just what I needed to hear the weather has turned to shit here in Wyoming so this mornings hunt was a combo of Rain and snow. The grass is knee high so right were my gaiters end on my FL kanabs were soaked soaked. Pants get here Tuesday can't wait to use em.

I agree with hunt idaho

His assessment is pretty much spot on

I did 7 days in them then a couple in the new pro’s

They are a bit louder of a pant. Like Idaho I found the cargo pocket sometimes difficult to access.

Overall though a great pant.

I beat lots of brush n Willows that I feel would of shown on the attacks. It was nice not needing gaiters

Lots of sitting in snow or wet ground and never got wet.

Im switching to peloton pant baselayers because when the marino gets wet your screwed even if the pants dry quick.

Just to add my .02 to the thread, have around 30ish miles on these pants over the past 2 weekends. Creek crossing, mud, Wet snow, fluffy snow, rain, wind + 20° temp, a mix of 20s-30s with little to no wind and 50° today walking back to truck. These things straight rock, they are my go to for sure when temps get chilly and ground is wet.

Only gripes

Size up, I didn't and now I know about Kuiu athletic fit in their pants. Little tight with some 190 black ovis leggings on but still had full range of motion climbing rocks, over dead fall and fence.

Think someone else said it pocket openings are a bit tight.

I wore the hybrid pants for 11 days straight on a remote Alaska moose hunt last month. The wx was rainy and wet most of the time. The waterproofing in the seat and matrix lined fleece backing was a really nice feature, and the pants wore well under my Yukon rain pants. The overall fit was pretty much the same as my Chinook's and Guide pants. I liked the open hand pockets without zippers. The knee pads were a useful feature when kneeling, which I was doing a lot because we got two moose. The down side is that when the knee pads get wet, they pretty much stay wet when the wx is overcast and not particularly warm. I also would have liked to see the matrix fleece extend down the front of the thighs for additional warmth up here in AK. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to take them to Kodiak next month, which is typically a trip for my Chinook's and Guide pants.

Sounds like an awesome pant. Now if only they came in solids. I don't know why they won't offer more products in solids. It's the main reason I'm starting to add other brands to my closet.
