Im going to slowly be changing my gear over from ua to first lite after some studying and was wondering what the big difference is between the two pants and which one would be better? also if you use first lite please help me with a early system as well as a cold weather setup as I got no clue with the many options they provide
 
I don't own the Corrugate yet as they are new this year and won't be available until July. The Kanabs are great, but will not hold up to heavy brush or rose thickets. If I am dragging a deer out of a thick area I will change out my Kanabs for my old cotton Mossy Oak pants. Kanabs are by far the most comfortable pants I own.

Warm weather:
Red Desert Boxer
Kanab
Llano

Cold Weather
Allegheny
North Branch or Sanctuary Bibs - Sanctuary for really cold tree stand sits. New this year so won't be many reviews yet but if anything like the jacket it they will be great.
Chama Hoody
Chama EXP or Labrador
Sanctuary Jacket - Awesome!
Neck Gaiter
Brimmed Beanie

The Sanctuary Jacket and Bib are way warm and you probably won't wear for any active movement. These are items to carry in and then put on once you get to your area/treestand.

Hope this helps.
 
Pretty much what Trent said..

Kanabs are lighter and less durable and breathe better.. If you don't think you'll be any nasty stuff they are a better option.. If you are hard on pants or think there maybe some spiney stuff, go with the Corrugate.. I often hunt in the desert so I've already preordered some Corrugates to replace my Attack pants.. Corrugates are probably better in the rain too but I haven't had a chance to try them out yet..

For cold weather I wear Allegheny EXPs underneath my pants and put some puffy pants on when sitting still..
 
How is sizing I wear a 32/32 and don't like real baggy early season pants was wondering how size was on kanabs
 
Have both, would go with the corrugated hands down. I will wear these pants from April to November. Had them for about two months and 20+ days of hunting. These pants are damn nice!
 
I just pre ordered the corrugated but kinda worried after reviews I got to baggy of a pant I wear 32-32 so ordered medium but I read there baggy if you go by size chart for what you wear
 
I would call FL. I have a pair of prototype pants and they are larger than the Kanabs I have in the same size. I don't know if they made any sizing changes on the production run. The pants are not baggy on me.
 
They have the same sound/feel as my Kuhl pants(nylon) which is a little different sounding than poly. I have shot two bull elk with my stickbow wearing Kuhl pants, so quiet enough for me.
 
I like the Attack pants, but they are just a little too warm for me personally from May-October. I was thinking about trying a pair of the new Alpine pants because they sounded like they would be a little cooler and had the built in knee pads.

But now I am sold on trying these Corrugates I think after listening to Ryan. I have some OR Ferosis which I love for hiking and mountain biking on trail, and the Corrugates sound very similar to those, but hopefully just a little more durable than the Ferosis for bushwacking. I figure I can add some really light external foam knee pads to the Corrugates then if I need to.
