Kuiu Tiburon Alternative

[Benjblt]

Any one out there know of a good Tiburon pant alternative? Something that breathes really well in 70 degree plus weather? The Tiburon seems like the perfect hot weather pant with the air-dot fabric and hip vents but it, like all high end company's pants, is pretty expensive. Also, I question the durability. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks.

I run the Eddie bauer pro guide pants. Get them for 50.00 on sale.

Great pant for the money.

It doesn't seem like they would breathe as well as the Tiburon. I've looked at those before. They do look nice.

Costco UB pants work great

I can tell you the SKRE unita pants are the best warm weather pants I've worn. Hip vents and air flow fabric. I had great success wearing them over twenty plus day in the west desert mountains of Utah. Much cooler than my EB guides.

Sitka Ascent Pants are great for warm weather.

I like the Prana Zion, but these are even lighter.

I've never seen these before. Thanks for the tip.

Outdoor research Ferrosi pants are my go to in hot weather hiking. They do not have hip zips, but I run the convertibles. super stretchy. I consider them to be durable. They are ripstop and I poked a hole from a tool in my back pocket and have trouble finding the hole at times and it has not spread.

I wear guide pros almost daily and they are a good pant, but I think there are better breathable and durable options out there.

I also run the tiburon's in hot weather hunting. They have proven to be durable for me lasting several seasons. they are piling pretty good in the crotch and tend to pick up stickers in the bush. They are also only 2 way stretch but that's not much of an issue.

Interested in the BD's as they seem similar to the OR's but one uses spandex while the other use elastane. I'm not sure on the differences?

They dont. And for me they dont fit as well.

I wouldn't question the durability. I have found them to be super durable. Tiburon pants pants and a solid color of attack pants are the only kuiu items I have hung on to over the years.

OR ferosi are solid light weight warm weather pant. Speaking of need to order a few more pairs

I have the tiburon and every other pant mentioned so far in this thread except the Ferrosi pants. The SKRE unita and the Tiburon are pretty close in performance and the only thing I have that comes close to breathability of either is the Kryptec Valhalla but without the zippered hip vents I don't think anything else will be comparable.

A couple of you guys reference the SKRE pants. I've never looked at them before but I'm not sure if I like their camo. . It looks like they have a nice return policy where they will pay for shipping to insure correct sizing.

 

[JNDEER]

the SKRE is the same price as the Tiburon pants. There is no pant on the market that will keep you as cool as the Tiburon pants. I have ran the tibs since Kuiu came out with them and still have and use my original pairs. I finally got a 2" slice in one last year on a recovery mission for a lost hunter that got turned around in 8' tall buck brush.

They have two patterns now.

Do you guys feel like the Tiburon pants provide sun protection?

Yes. Definitely watch the video on the Unitas in the thread I posted. I commented about the difference and my preference between them and the tiburons.
