Pants Recommendation -- Similar to FL Corrugate Foundry

[aaron14]

I love the features of the Corrugate Foundry but found myself wanting something lighter during a recent turkey hunt, so I'm looking for suggestions.

Needs hip vents and ability to add knee pads, waterproof seat and knees are nice but not required. Also needs to be available in 32/medium waist and 34+ inseam.

Thank you for all suggestions!

Born Primitive Frontier Lite 2.0 might fit the bill. No waterproof seat - might be tough to find that in an early season pant.

SG Dehavilland lite is what you want. Fjallraven kebs might be too heavy for your use and the agiles dont have kneepad capability.

Do you have these pants?
What is this along the waist, a Velcro waist adjustment?

I don’t see anything about it in the description.

I don't but I've been eyeing them. I think it's on each side to custom the fit.

I'd let someone chime in with personal experience

Yes, they are adjustment tabs. I can wear them without a belt. But I find I continually tighten them through out the day.

I’ve got the frontier light 2.0s. Had corrugates last year. They’re similar weight wise. I miss the suspenders.

Any issues with your pack an rubbing?

I get hot spot rite there. Idk if that would help or make it worse.

I have noticed hot spots. For a heavy pack out I had to crank them tighter because I think that material does stretch a little.
