First lite pants worth the price?

I second everything positive that has been mentioned about the kanabs, really like them. The one thing I miss is a zippered pocket. Granted I haven't lost anything and the pockets are deep but I've considered getting a zipper added to one of the cargo pockets.

I like the fact that they don't have zippers. Silent access.

Tore the crotch out of mine kneeling down to gut a deer last January. Sent them back and got a new pair. No complaints with the pant at all. I to usually will wear a light pant from GoLite underneath for cold mornings, but the pants are really versatile and comfy. Before ripping the crotch out, I spent the CO archery season and 3rd rifle season crawling over deadfall, lots of sage slopes and other crap you get into and only had only little tear on the knee.

I wore the new pants spring turkey this year. About 15 total days. No holes in butt or anywhere else.

I absolutely love my First Lite gear, it's the only stuff that will touch my skin actually (except for Darn Tough merino socks). However, I recently stopped by the Kuiu store in CA on my way up to the mountains and tried on some Attacks. I looked them over, tried them on, and there was no way I was leaving without them. They are, without a doubt, the nicest mountain pant I've ever tried on. Plus the Major Brown color is perfect (I'm an earth tones guy over camo). They performed well in the field, that's for sure. I doubt I'll ever wear another pant unless it's hot (>mid 70s). Wearing merino underwear avoids any clammyness if it's semi-warm (but if it's HOT hot i'd wear my Prana climbing pants...).

I own two pieces of Kuiu gear: the bino harness and the attack pant. They are both phenomenal. I am partial to First Lite for most things, but I can endorse the hell out of these two Kuiu items.
