Kuiu alpine pant

[sr80]

anyone using the alpine pant from kuiu? How are these?

 

[justin davis]

They are legit. I like the pocket configuration and knee pads. Material is tough too

 

[warrior80]

They are the best IMO. Pocket configuration with zippers, built in knee pads, 4 way stretch, and slim fit are the features that set them apart. They are very comfortable. I've also ran mine through some pretty rough stuff that I thought for sure would tear them up, but not a single tear/hole.

I love mine, but find the sizing runs a little large. I had to go down a size compared to my attack pants.

 

[warrior80]

That is true on the sizing. They're more true to jeans sizing. I wear size 33 or 34 in most jeans/pants and the 34 Alpines fit perfect.

Love my Alpine pants. They're cooler than the Attack's and worked great for early season sheep. They held up well to me doing some nasty climbing in shale and sliding around at times. They seem to run a little bit larger than other pants. The newer Vias camo pattern is much darker in these than my older Attack pants. I like the look of the older, more muted color more than the newer/darker Vias.

I wear a 32 in pants. And the alpine 32 fit me good

I have a 34 inch waist (jean sizing) and the 34's fit good. I have a 30 inch inseam and the knee pads fit me more like shin guards, so I returned them, other wise I would have kept them.

The knee pads are a tricky one for a lot of guys and don't fit or line up very well for many. Mine ride typically low when hiking, but when I kneel down, they pop right into place where they need to be. My hunt partner had some, but the pads were way too low on him.

I like mine better than the attacks! Solid pant! I wear 32 jeans and the 32 fits me as well.

 

[sr80]

Good to hear. I never liked the attack pant fit or pocket configuration. May have to give em a try. Inam a 32-33 waist. Should I go 32?

 

[Ramcam]

I have 32 attacks and they are slightly tight in the waist .I'm more a 32x33 waist . And i agree i do not like the pockets on the attacks all that much. More so the rear pockets.The Alpines in 32 are perfect.I think the waist is a bit stretchier i find them much more comfortable.

My 32's measured closer to 34....I wear a 31 and really had to have them taken in a lot. kuiu told me they designed them looser so layering would be easier.

I love the pocket layout on these and the knee pads rock. The new lighter material was much more resistant to pulls on deadfall, etc for me.

 

[MuleyFever]

Like mine. If anyone has a 32 and wants to trade for a 34 let me know.

 

[Dos Perros]

I like mine. I think it would be tough to find a better early season product with a good knee pad configuration. I hate knee pads but these are okay. I did tear mine on a barbed wire fence, a L shaped tear about 3/4" in both directions. I called Kuiu to ask about repair and they recommended some shop in CA, I haven't sent them in yet. I'll probably just darn them myself. I am getting a pair of Attack's this summer, and will have both with me at the trailhead, and depending on weather report wear one or the other.

I'm a big fan of the Sitka Timberline, but I have a pair of the Alpine pants coming to try. I hope I like them.

 

[Fireguy]

So I wear a 38 in attacks, should I go with a 36 in Alpines?

 

[Jared Lampton]

I Wear 32 inch waist on everything but my 32 inch alpines were more like 34's. The material and knee pads are great though.

 

[FURMAN]

I love mine but the size is a little big. Probably not a whole size but it is not the same fit as the attack.

I'm a big fan of the Sitka Timberline, but I have a pair of the Alpine pants coming to try. I hope I like them.

I am too, and the timberlines are too big for me now..so I was looking into the alpines. Looking forward to your feedback on them.
