Kuiu Pro Bush Pants - First Impressions

[Ho5tile1]

At first glance they remind of the stone glacier pants.. looks nice steep price tag.

Mine just came in. They fit me better than all the othe kuiu pants that I own. .. not like skinny jeans. Not baggy though. Love the dual vents. The pockets are nice. Maybe a touch deep. The heavy duty fabric seems a bit noisy.

I order/received these and find the sizing a little different their norm. I typically wear a 34 in Kutana, attack and attack pro, and axis. I got these in a 34 and they feel BIG. I'm going to order a 32 to compare. I had the same issue with the guide pants. Other than that they are bomber. The inside hip vent, and these hidden zippers are really nice addition. The boot clip at the bottom seems convenient as well. I'm not really a suspenders guy but rather have the option of them at least.

Lots of folks say this fit like the kutana and I 100 disagree. The kutana are much more "fitted" and tapered than these brush pants. I'd say they fit more like the attack Pros, or the Talas pants.

I tried mine out yesterday. I agree, they fit a little big. But given the feel of the material, I don't mind. It almost feels like rain gear on the inside against your skin. If it weren't for the ample venting, these things would be intolerable.

As for function, I'm a little disappointed. To call these brush pants is a bit much. These were designed to save the material against brush, not the user. I had countless, and I mean countless, thorns penetrate and poke me. The good news is that the pants look brand new.

My $30 pair of Field & Stream pants are way more protective, but they don't breathe. Everything is a trade off I suppose, but these Kuiu pants left a lot to be desired for the price tag.

That's disappointing to hear thorns penetrated. I was hoping these would work for a warm weather upland hunting pant. I need them to stop sand plum thorns and not allow briars to grab.

I'll let you know when I find a solution. The kuius aren't what you're looking for

Wife bought these for my birthday. I’ll test thorns this weekend. For the price they better stop green briar. I’ll be disappointed if they don’t and would send back if it weren’t for KUIU’s ridiculous return policies.

As far as fit. I can tell you now they were NOT designed by someone with testosterone. There is no room in the crotch for anyone who graduated puberty. Thank goodness they stretch. I am not certain I can wear these in mixed company without undue attention. Seriously, who designs pants so tight that you have to determine which side you put your twigs and berries on. They are called swinging Richard’s for a reason KUIU.

If your cargo is that tight against the fabric id not test them in briar thickets. I feel like the brush pants fit just like attacks to me, which are kuius must generous fitting pants.
