No love for y’all skinny guys...from First Lite

[BrushyHillGuide]

I called FL yesterday hoping that they might be making some small/tall pants with the new offerings.......nope! I know there are some others wondering about this so I figured I’d post it. Guess we’ll have to keep cinching down belts and wearing suspenders unless we want high-water pants, lol. *sigh*

That’s a bummer - I’m kind of over their pants, I just run Prana Zions or Kuiu attacks for that reason, can’t get a decent fit with their bottoms.

I went with pants from Sitka for this reason. FL always seemed to sag or have a loose fit, I prefer an athletic fit. Also, durability was an issue, too.

I run mismatched camo, whatever fits best and is cost effective.

Prana Zions, Kuiu attacks and Kryptek work for me.

Man that's a bummer I really want to support them but just can't get pants to fit

I snatched a pair of the Kuiu guides last season and they are easily my favorite pants I've worn to date. Tried the corrugate guide 2.0's and promptly sold 'em. Didn't like the fact of no zippered vents and they didn't breath as well as the guides. Seemed super durable though and probably a great later season pant. They were a no-go on a Sept. archery hunt though.

KUIU guide. I have two different pair. I'm 5' 11" 185 and they fit my build the best.

I will say I like the first like gear but it never has fit my body correctly, my best friend and my wife love the fit, so I'm sure it's tuff to design for all are different body types.

I've been a FL customer since the beginning and have never enjoyed their pant fit. I've resorted to buying Sitka pants in solid colors because they fit me well. I'm 6'0" with a 32" waist and 33"+ inseam.

I’m one of the bigger First Lite fanboys, but I can’t get into their corrugate pants. The Kanabs fit me well, but the MT corrugates fit like parachute pants. HUGE! So I resorted to buying some prAna Zion’s instead. I think they are missing a huge piece of the market by not adjusting pant sizing.

Yeah, I’ve been wearing Kuiu Guide and Attacks since they came out and Sitka from pre-Kuiu days. Lol. Also wear the Prana Zion’s and Brions. I do like the Corrugates, though. They may not “look” good on me but the one pair I’ve got has really taken a beating without showing much worse for the wear. Ah well. I’ll still wear them but I won’t be buying a bunch of them like I’d hoped to.

Oh. That's not good news at all. I started buying first lite because of the fact that they offered tall sizes but I could not find tall sizes in the puffy pants. At 6'7" I don't have many options. Hope they aren't phasing tall pants out all together.

I haven't seen anything about getting rid of the tall sizes, they're just not going to introduce small tall into the lineup this year.

Prana Zion are quickly becoming my favorite along with my Sitka Ascent.

Yeah, they’re awesome! I love Prana’s Brion also. I never hear folks talking about them but they’re great. No thigh pocket and they’re a little more athletic fit in the legs - perfect for us chicken legged guys. Lol
