Kuiu Kutana stretch woven ??s

[fbhandler]

I’m looking for some feedback on Kuiu’s kutana stretch woven pants, specifically how well they resist pilling and fuzzing up. I’ve been wearing the Wrangler active outdoors pants for the last 5-6 years and for the price they’ve been great, except that after about six months they’re extremely fuzzy and pilled due to wading through sage brush and the like, which only attracts even more burrs and pickers etc. My main reason to go over to the Kutana’s would be to try and fix this but at $125 vs $25 I’d need at least 3 years out of a pair to make it worth it (I’m out most every weekend). Anyone have some experience with these and how they do ?

Very well, they're my favorite South/West Texas scrub brush pants. My Attack pants get shredded in stuff the Kutana push through without issue.

I've put in probably close to 1000 days in the field now on my 5 pair and they all look brand new, zero piling. Well some have burns in them and some blood stains, but the fabric is perfect lol.

I second all of the above. These are my favorite pant, great in warm weather and can be worn pretty low with a base layer underneath. I am three years in on one pair and they have no signs of wear.

Currently my favorite pant. Worn them out west, down south, to Africa, etc. Very durable and no pilling. The attack pants will get pilling, but I have not experienced it with kutanas.

My only complaints about these pants was the (for me) skinny legs- the material itself was bullet proof though

Very good, tough and light pants if you have the body shape for them.

Edit...they dry quickly as well

Appreciate all the feedback guys… looks like I may very well give them a try !! I was a bit skeptical as the wranglers are 96% nylon and only 4% elastic, while the kuiu’s are 100% nylon, it just seemed like such a small difference it was hard to image 6 months being stretched out to 3 years ! I guess like everything it probably comes down to the quality rather then quantity of material being used

Thanks again !!
