OR Ferrosi or Wrangler Outdoor Pant. The OR Ferrosi are very quiet, light and breathable. The Wranglers are a little heavier and less breathable but not a mid season pant by any means.
Prana Zions all the way. I have some KUIU tiburons and attacks, but they stay in the clothing bin at camp if the Pranas get too dirty...lol. Suprisingly durable, and I can wear them to work. I am wearing a pair right now as a matter of fact.
I’ll be wearing Kuiu attacks this September. To me they are more comfortable and durable than the wrangler outdoor pants, so I’ll keep the wranglers for scouting and everyday wear.
I’ve had goodluck finding the wranglers in stock at Target, even in recent times.
I have sitka traverse and fl corrugate guide. The sitka will work but id rather have something lighter. The fl will not work for me. Way to loud. Ive been looking at the kuiu tiburon just a little worried about tearing them up in brush and deadfall
I'm in the same boat as the OP, but most of these pants don't seem to come in a camo pattern? Is that not important on an archery elk hunt? Is it more just being quiet?
I personally dont think camo matters, although my pants are camo. I think just earthy tones and holding still while they are looking is the most important thing.
Kuiu Tiburon pants are awesome for warm weather. They are the lightest weight, coolest and most comfortable pants for hunting in warm weather that I have ever worn. Air goes through the pants and it almost feels like wearing shorts. When hiking in to an area, unzip the vents and more air comes in which really helps keep you cool. I wear them for spring turkey hunting at home too.
