Kutana pant material

[Bazookas]

I recently ordered a second pair of Kuiu Kutana pants. I already had one pair in an ash solid color. I ordered the new pair in the Valo pattern. The solid material seems much more durable and the camo material seems almost too soft. I sent pictures to their customers support and they say it’s the same pant but the material is undoubtedly different. Anybody else run across this before?

No. Own 3 pairs, Verde 2.0, ash, gunmetal. I will say all are a few years old though, maybe between 2-4yrs. I thought I remember reading they moved where they were manufactured and people had issue with sizing. Never heard of a material issue though.

Mine have been the same. It could be the amount of washes on your old pair. They will soften a tad over time with wash cycles.

In my experience, some materials have a different feel due to different color dyes. For example, I have multiple packs from the same manufacturer all made of 500D cordura, but the greys always feel thicker/stiffer than ranger green, coyote, etc…

I’d guess it’s got something to do with their camo printing process.
