Tell me about them? how do u like them? etc.

Yes I used the search function but i cycled through like 3 pages of "for sale" items and gave up, I am sure there are older threads, but would would like to know how u guys like them
 
If you wear suspenders and a pack they will rub. I don't like belts and the waistband is elastic so they will fall down without suspenders or belt. I didnt even know they made the corrugate guides anymore after they came out with the foundary line. Foundries have more well thought out suspender attachments and that issue is gone.

Very durable, can be used most seasons with base layers when it gets colder. DWR is a gimmick.

Overall, I wouldn't buy another pair.

they are on clearance at sheels, so they made be not made anymore, could be why the price is so low which made me interested etc.

that and the hole in my krptek pants i usually wear keeps getting bigger each year, pretty soon at least one of my buttcheeks will be in full view

I've ran them and more recently the foundry for 10 years. My original pair of Corrugate Guide Pants were Max-1 camo and beat the hell out of them. I sold them recently to a guy looking for Max 1 and honestly I didn't want to sell them.. I couldn't destroy those pants. I bet he'll get another 5 years out of them.

They start out a little loud but break in. DWR needs reapplied regularly or they take in a fair bit of water. So you'll want gaiters if it's wet or dewy. Overall stretch and comfort are top notch. I love the pocket layout as they are simple and just what you need.

The Scheels price makes me want to get another pair - that's the best pant you'll ever get for that price.

 
I'm very happy with my Corrugates.
They fit well, I have used them in multiple seasons.
The pockets and belt loops are very well-placed.
I've beat them up in lots of abrasive cover and they still work great.

Skip guides and go directly to the foundry.

Best pants I’ve ever bought, never wear my corrugate guides anymore.
 
By far my favorite pants .

I do not like the corrugate foundary !
how ever the the waterproof panel in the but did nothing for me , but made extra sweet. I couldn’t stand them on warm days . I would take the original corrugate without the zippers over the guides with the size zips on a hot day.

I have 3 pairs of other kuiu and first light eddies Bauer pro guides , and 3 different pairs of costco pant

The corrugate guides are my favorite by a good margin

I second this as well. The waterproof panels are kind of weird as they are doubled up. The vents are nice for venting but the plastic zipper has large teeth and you can really feel it against your skin. I feel like they are good but not great.
