New First Lite Kanabs

[sts45]

I'm 6'-4" and 220 lbs. I went with the XL's just to get some length in the legs. They are borderline too baggy thought and I definitely have to wear a belt with mine. I don't get this trend of making clothes for guys who are built like teenagers while making it damn near impossible to get good fitting clothes for bigger guys who are in shape, and not just 300 pound fatties.

Good point, I'm 6'6" 205, 36 inseam, what pants do you tall guys go with, I'm struggling to ding good pants that fit without them being to baggy

I hope they made the Kanabs a more athletic fit. The fit of the old versions were way too baggy for me. They need to make pants that fit like Sitka and KUIU pants.

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.

Which brand are you talking about. I'm always looking to save money. Would appreciate your help in this. Thanks!

Eddie Bauer is probably the best bang for your $$$, Kuhl also makes a great pant, there are many other mountaineer type companies that make great pants as well. If you can get the Krypek stuff when on a big sale it is a great value, my current favorite pant is the Kryptek Vahallia, have 2 pair in Highlander and 2 pair in Olive I like them that well.

I'm not knocking the Kuiu Attack, it is a great pant just not the best bang for your $$. I will say though in the short time I've had my kanabs I'm really liking them and looking forward to Sep bear and deer to break them in.

Right on dot!! I'll check into em!! Thanks!! And of course I would love a pair of kanabs, one day for sure.

Just do a search on the forum on the Eddie Bauer, it is the guide pant and they have sales often.

I really like the kanabs but am I the only one that wish they had at least one zippered pocket? I think an "active" pant should have at least one pocket with a zipper. Granted, the pockets are extra deep but still doesn't give me peace of mind. I might have to add one myself..

Man, lots of tall guys on here. I currently use Cabela's regular Microtex and Lite pants, but they don't make them unhemmed anymore. Unhemmed they were a 37" inseam which works really well for me with hunting boots. I'm looking at trying Kings Camo's pants as they come in a listed 36" inseam. They sell their regular pants and then some technical pants.......haven't seen either in person yet. I might buy both and send back what I don't want.

I'm always looking for extra pants that will fit well. I'm pretty tough on my pants. I'm not much of trail hunter.

Hey dotman, was just at REI and tried on the Kuhl pants and actually rely like them. They have a great stretch and only $75. Thanks for the tip

These pants are great! I was so dang happy when I tried them on that I think my wife thought I won the lottery. Super comfortable and IMO much better than the 1.0 Kanabs. I don't think there will be many, if any, disappointed in these.

For the record, I have big thighs and finding pants that fit me comfortably is hard. Either the waist is much bigger than what I need so that my legs are comfy or everything is tight. No issues with these!

I bought a pair of last year's (updated 1st generation) Kanabs. When I wear them out, I may consider the newest generation which will probably be called Kanabs 3.0+. Love the pants and see no reason to update at this time.

I am 6'3 with a 36" inseam as well. The sitka talls are borderline for me. With gaitors it dont matter much.

I have 3 different pairs of kuhl pants. I like them the best of all the different pants I have worn. The length is good as well.

I love my Kanab 1.0s especially when crossing floods because the bottoms never get wet . Really wish these companies would make stuff for tall guys. Long sleeve jackets and shirts are just as bad if not worse for me.
