New First Lite Kanabs

[robby denning]

I'm excited about these. I've worn the 1.0 last two seasons and love their temperature and comfort functions, but hoping they've increased the durability. Anyone ordering these?

Introducing the Kanab 2.0

We took the Best Selling Kanab Pant and Improved the Durability

We took the best-selling Kanab Pant and made some subtle but important changes, including panels of flexible, breathable nylon in the crotch gusset and across the top of the seat. This Merino wool pant still features ripstop construction, unbeatable fit, nearly silent movement, a massive "0-100" temperature range and unparalleled odor control. It's no wonder the Kanab 2.0 is one of the most highly anticipated 2015 product introductions. You can learn more here, including informative product videos and ship dates!

Yup. I'll be ordering some soon.

Love my Kanab 1.0's. FL actually just replaced them for a hole in the leg got on the first day of bow season. Now with a brand new pair, I'll wear them down to the threads then pick up some 2.0's.

I would if they would add some length to the inseams. Bummed First Lite doesn't want to sell pants to tall skinny guys

I'll probably pick up a pair. I was leaning towards some kuiu guides for my next pair only because a lot of reviews on the 1.0's mentioned ripping problems in the crotch area. It looks like they solved that issue and I do love my merino wool...

I got to see these at the headquarters this past December--they seemed like a huge improvement on the originals and address every issue that I had with the pants. If I hadn't just replaced mine and didn't want to get the guide pants too, I'd be ordering a pair.

If they improved the durability then they have a winner, that's was my only knock on them...good early season pants but I ate through them really quick.

 

[Jarrod Renaud]

Yep. Ive got last years version in asat but I'll be picking a pair of these up in Dry Earth.

Or tall "any" guys. Ya, my first thought when I saw the email was "new huh, wonder if that means they'll be making them for grown men now".

Still same old same old material in legs and thighs. I had problems ripping holes in them. Reinforcement in crotch will help normal wear from walking.

Dang how tall are you guys? Im 6' 2" and sport the mediums. They're long enough for me. I've got a 33" inseam

Wearing the kuiu attacks now, but I keep thinking about the kanabs because (1) I like how wool manages moisture/breathability and (2) I think FL makes generally superior products. Hard to pull the trigger though with the attacks running strong.

Has anyone seen the new synthetic pants FL came out with ? Corrugate Guide pants? Wondering how they compare to KUIU and Sitka

We checked them out at the SHOT show. They were really interesting. The material was thin and light, but seemed tough enough. They were thinner and lighter than your typical softshell pants like the Kuiu Attack.

I am going to run a pair this season when they are available.

 

[robby denning]

Matt, somehow I missed those when we were there. I must've been distracted by the mountain bike in the booth that looked like an Abrams tank

I pre-ordered a pair of the 2.0 Kanab's These will be the first pair I own. Hope they work like everyone says!!

I'm 6'6" with a 37-38" inseam.

They look nice, but the best bang for your buck is Kuiu Attack pants. Cant really go wrong with those. Spending close to $200 dollars on a pair of pants aint gunna happen for me. If money is not an option, then of course I would try them out. Love the Fusion camo.

Actually the best bang for your $$$ are non-hunting brand pants, there are a few different brands well under the cost of the attacks. I've had the attacks since they first came on the market and don't use them for hunting anymore. Gonna try the kanabs that are last years model since they had such a good sale on them.
