Born Primitive Frontier Light Pants

[joel_sledz]

Anyone have any experience with these pants? I like a lighter, somewhat stretchy/fast drying pants for my elk hunts. These look decent but always a toss up trying to gear. Thanks in advance!

I’ve had a paid since March or so, the frontier light 2.0s, and they’re my favorite lightweight pant I’ve owned. Very comfortable, breathable, durable, and functional. I like the hip Velcro to adjust tightness of waist without the needs of a belt, I like the pockets and the hip zips as well. They’re always the first warm weather pant I reach for!

Do the hip zips have the net material?

Don't rule out the Terrain pants, IMO they have better pockets and are awesome & $40 cheaper. I work out in them multiple times a week and use them for training hikes and they have held up extremely well.
The hip vents on the Frontier does have mesh backer

Thanks for the recommendation! Are the terrain pants durable enough to handle minor brush/sage??

I would have no issue doing that in mine but everyone’s definition of brush busting is different. I have no idea if this is true but I believe the frontier and terrain are probably the same material, at least they seemed that way to me I don’t have the frontier light 2s anymore though.

I have a couple pairs and I like them enough.. not a huge fan of the velcro adjusts as sometimes it pinches under a belt.
I also hate a couple things about them.
the knee pad pockets but I deal with it because the pants are comfy.
And they come in 30 and 33 in inseam. 33 is long, 30 is a hair short. Not sure why they didn't do a 32 like every other pant on the planet. Not sure I'll buy them again but they are light weight and breathable

I have a pair of both the 1.0 and 2.0. I prefer the 2.0 version. I like the tabs, but if not wearing a belt, I find I can't get them tight enough over the course of the day and the pants still sag. I don't mind the kneepad pockets; I haven't put pads in there and the double material of the liner provides enough knee padding for short stints in some terrain.

Do the hip zips have the net material?

Yes.
