So I have the opportunity right now to buy either a pair of Attack pants or a pair of Corrugate guide pants for about the same price. I can only buy one pair right now and I've heard great things about both. I primarily bow hunt early season in oregon, so temps can be high and I'm definetly wanting to go lightweight and cool. If anyone has had experience with both I would love to hear about it. Thanks! Oh and the attacks are in vias and the corrugates are in realtree ap (which kinda makes me lean toward the kuiu)
 
what he said^^^^^^. But strictly going by the 2 you asked about I would go with the FL pants. Having seen them and from what others said they will be a bit cooler. My friends with the attacks say 60 degrees and active is when they become two much. I don't think you can go wrong with the prana zion's, they get a lot love on here. I like the pockets and hip vents on kuiu pants but damn almost three pairs of prana zions for the same price....

I went with the Corrugates as I liked the nylon over the poly. I can't say I have experience with the attacks but I've been very happy with the corrugates. I took them through some nasty stuff last year and they still look new. They breath well and I really like the pocket layout. Honestly you will probably be happy with either pant but my personal preference would be First Lite.
 
Can't speak for the First Lites but I do have the Attack Pants and while I do love them they are definitely a warmer pant when hiking around. Been using them a bit this spring to hike the local trails and any time I'm on the move I have the hip vents open.
 
Attacks were too hot for me. Corrugates seem like they would be great after seeing them in person. I've been using the pranas for 5+ years now during the summer and at this point I wear em through October as well weather depending.
 
I have been trying to decide between the attack, fl guide and prana for a while now so I'm also looking forward to everyone's opinion. I have all first lite now with the exception of the churag rain jacket and was leaning towards the attacks because of the hip vents and I'm not a fan of the built in belt on the prana's.
 
I actually like the built in belt on the Zions. Just give 'em a tug and they are comfy, no need to remember your belt. Plus there's no buckle to get in the way of your backpack hip belt
 
Prana Zions or Kuhl Renegades. I just picked up 3 pairs of Zions online for just under 50 a pair!

I love both of those pants but I'll also suggest the OR Ferrosi pants and the Eddie Bauer Rainier pants. I like the EB Rainier pants more than the EB Guide Pro's.

If you want a KUIU pant, I suggest the Tiburon over the Attack. The First Lite Corrugates are nice if they fit you.
 
Attack all the way. I really wanted to like the FL but I just can't do the skinny jean thing. I bought two different sizes and their were just too tight through the legs. That and they really taper down at the boot. I like my pants to hang down over my boots, the FL were really skinny at the bottom.
 
Thanks for all the input! I honestly have never heard of the Zions so I'll definetly be checkin those out. And I'm glad to hear the FL are lighter because they really don't give specific info on their website like kuiu does but that's great to know. Thanks again!
 
Both great pants. The attacks are a little warmer. The FL are noisier. If your a Bowhunter that might make a difference. I like the Kuiu alpine pant over the attacks honestly

If going kuiu I was thinking alpine but they don't list them having a dwr. What's your experience with them getting wet? Have you added a dwr to them?

If not needing camo and staying away from cotton the zions are hard to beat. Look at their site you'll see all the good details, definitely more worth the money than something similar off amazon. The only cavet for me is only one cargo pocket but the convertible version has two. They even have a fleece lined version.

If you search older posts on here FL chimed in on all the details of their guide pants.

You being a bow hunter, I would go with the attacks. The FL are just too noisy for me unless you are still hunting. Like others have said, the attacks are warm but a great pant. I'm going to try hunting in my Prana Zion's this year for my early season archery hunts because they are VERY comfortable and quiet, plus they repel water good. I figure that I only need a camo top anyway
 
Yea I'm hearing nothing but good on those zions so I'm gonna go with those. Plus you really cant beat that price! May end up going with attacks for later in the year. I hate noisy anything so I think I'll pass on the FL.
