New developments coming this summer

But the fabric pulling like this so soon definitely doesn't instill confidence. I'm curious if any of the people who tested previously had this issue?
I didn't.

Here is my prototypes from last year that I wore on every hunt from August through November. I don't have any of the snags and pulls it looks like you guys are seeing.

The two images with holes are from climbing through deadfall. I'd expect the same result from any of the pants I've worn in both situations (EB Guide Pro and Zion's)- the type where you look down at your pants after the misstep and know you're going to need to pull out the needle and thread in the offseason.

Got my midlayer in the mail yesterday.

Overall impression is it seems like a really nice piece and I am looking forward to using it in October. I wear an XL in most tops and the XL fits me great.
 
Got mine last week.

First impressions are good. Looking forward to logging some time and miles in them.
 
Was traveling arrived home to find 2 pairs of the pants and the mid-layer. Very impressed with the product. One item of note, the sizing tool in the website suggested medium for the mid-layer (I am 6', 170ish), I order large. Very happy I went large as medium would definitely be too small.
 
Got mine, still wish they would offer a 30/34, but with the integrated belt, I can make the 32’s work. After an extended stay in the backcountry, they might bunch up too much in the waist on me, but starting out, they’ll be fine.

Material and finish all seem to be top notch. Headed to Wyoming on Tuesday for a 10 day elk hunt involving lots of horse riding and hiking, so the two pair I bought will get put through the wringer. Will report back after the hunt.
 
USPS finally figured it out and delivered my pants on Friday. 5'-7", 165 lbs, thick thigh guy. Happy with the fit of the 32/30's. Standing static there's a little room in the fabric around my thighs. Seated or stepping up just barely taught around the thighs, but the fabric stretch makes it comfortable. I'd say pretty dang perfect in between "baggy" and "tight".

Fabric almost feels too nice to go out and mess up. Super comfortable. I could sleep in them (and will in the backcountry).
 
Got out tonight on a spot and stalk white tail hunt on a new (to me) piece of public land. It was like wearing PJs. Ended up walking 4 miles up and down the creek bottoms and hills. Paired nicely with my lightweight OV merino hoody. Ended up bumping a few does and didn’t come away with anything, but I was extremely happy with the pants.
