I wear Wrangler Outdoor pants every day and in every hunting situation other than deer hunting in a tree. I have 3 pairs of Kuiu Attacks and never wear them. Elk, antelope, even my first sheep hunt, I wear the Wranglers exclusively. I don’t think I’ve put in a pair of jeans in over a year. Definitely the best value out there. They hold up just fine. I think I have 8-10 pairs and haven’t put a hole in any of them. If you really wear a pair hard they’ll get the usual pilling but that’s about it.
I wear them all the time too, all sort of colors. I don’t wear any other pant except dress/suit pants when necessary. Haven’t worn jeans since I got turned into them from Rokslide.
When the pairs I wear to the office and as casual pants show wear, they become work and outdoor pants. I write a bit “D” for “dirty”on the back by the belt loop. My wife was always aasking which were nice and which were dirty, lol.
They are so durable, that I end up with more dirty pairs and toss the worst even though I could get more use out of them. If I have an odd painting job or car repair, I just get the worst pair, wipe paint brushes on them and throw them away at the end of the job.
They are cool enough in the summer of AZ, and durable enough in the cat claw and brush not to tear. Given how much use they get before they end up in the desert, I don’t particularly try to guard them. They can get a little pilling, or a thorn rarely pulls up a thread. Only torn one pair ever from crossing a fence.
The only failures have been in a couple of pairs when stitching in a couple of pockets, one crotch came out, and a fly zipper. But at less than $30 bucks a pop, I get a whole bunch of use out of them before they get pitched.
They have changed styles a little bit over the years. But, they are pretty much the same. I have had dozens of pairs over the last few years.
