I got one of these from Costco and it does work great! All of the 32 degree stuff is incredible value for the price.Not sure how well it works, but its cheap!

I can't speak to the Guide Pro pants specifically, but I'll make a comparison to another brand. I've owned a couple pairs of the cheaper Wranglers as well as a few pairs of Prana Stretch Zion pants. Similar fabric, stretch etc. I'll stick with buying the Prana pants going forward as I personally prefer the fit better. There are also little details like the built in belt, triple stitching in key areas etc. that add up to a better product IMO. Get them on sale for around $50 and I feel like I'm better off. Not everyone will agree with me on the fit as it's a personal preference, but that's my take on it. I'm not sure it carries through with the Guide Pros, but it's a comparison I could make to the much cheaper Wranglers on why you might pay more for a similar pant.
I also have one of these from Costco. I did worry about possibly ripping or snagging the puffy material on something but its held up great. I also have their long underwear and this breathable shirt. Solid thing for the price.
Also, you can get flagging tape for $2. I love using flagging tape for when I'm following a spotty blood trail. Stuff is cheap and useful!

In my opinion the EB Guide Pros have more room in the seat and legs. The Wranglers are a trimmer fit and are a little tight in the legs when I wear them over a base layer. The Wranglers do seem to be a little tougher fabric. A couple pair of my Wranglers have a metal stud type button instead of a traditional sewn on button and I find that metal stud uncomfortable. I've torn a hole in one pair of my EB Guide Pros and have had the stitching on lower leg pockets fail on 3 pair. EB did replace them for free. I'll also ad that I only buy the EB's when they are on sale for 50% off which seems to be twice a year.
Stream light micro light. Runs off 1 AAA battery, weighs a few ounces, clips on a hat or headband and is super bright. Goes with me everyday. I think they’re like $25-$30

These o-light flashlights are basically the exact same thing (1 AAA) and are 20 bucks retail. I've lost 5 of them over the last 10 years or so...they are excellent.
