Was anyone able to get their hands on the new Trace quarter-zip or pants, yet ?

 

[ChrisAU]

I ordered some. Lightweight with inner and outer thigh venting...gonna have to give em a shot.

Im thinking about off loading some of my Wick pieces, but want to know the durability of these first. Maybe ill just pony up and try em, too.

 

[Brontosaurus]

interested as well

They look really interesting but given some recent first lite issues I’ll want to see someone else’s not disintegrate before I splurge on them.

Maybe I'm missing something but why is it DWR treated to resist moisture? Wouldn't you want it to wick the moisture from your skin and spread it out over the fabric to evaporate quicker? It's supposed to be a hot (90°) shirt.

that is the problem that i had with the kuiu tiburon top. it wouldnt soak up moisture so it got really clammy. I think it was the same material as the paints like these are. I will stick with the wick, kuiu gila and sitka lw for tops but these pants look epic i'm going to get a pair. just wish they were made by sitka but I'll be ordering a pair

I’m very curious how they compare to the SG 206 pants.

I wore them last year. Used them early archery season mostly as those were the warmest temps. I thought they did well for the conditions, hip vents were nice, the fit is slim and comfortable. They are a lightweight pant, so keep in mind they probably aren’t going to be bomb proof busting brush. But for typical mountain hunting I didn’t have issues.

What's your opinion on the crotch vents? I've never had a pair of pants that had them but I'm a firm believer in hip vents.

They look like the same material as the tiburon from kuiu. Maybe these fit a little less baggy. I probably gonna get a pair to try out, archery in north west Florida can be hot…

They are more of an entrance into the thigh pockets over vents in my opinion. They do function as venting, but if you have a bunch of stuff in those pockets it’ll fall out with those vents open.

Are they nylon or polyester?

Were able to test the QZ ?

I've watched the videos a few times and read the product descriptions and can't find the answer. Do you know?

They are poly. Comfortable and quiet so far, but haven't used them in the field yet.

I assumed they were thinking that HeiQ was a poly fleece, but then read it was something with scent absorption.

Thanks!

If those inner thigh zippers just go into the pockets that seems kind of pointless. Id be curious to see these compared to the SG 206 pant. I really like the stone glacier pants and feel like these are just kind of a rush to copy and compete with them.
