[Bearhunter]

I have emailed Kryptek twice with some product questions and have yet to receive a response after a couple of weeks.

Shoot your email to me and I'll get it answered.

The show season can be a tough time to communicate with small companies. I can't speak for Krytek, but I know that some of the hunting companies whose products I use only have 4-5 employees, all of whom may be travelling this time of year. I used to imagine that these companies must have 10-20 employees and really question the slow response times, but the more I have learned the better I understand the challenges.

Well the pants are here, first impression is that the material is a little bit louder then the kuiu attack pants but not bad at all and not enough to scare me off. Since i picked them up over lunch I could only put them on really quick, after all the skinny guy jeans comments I was fully expecting to walk them right back in and return them.

Sad to say I must have girl legs or something. In most pants I buy a 36 because a 34 the thigh seems to get tight but my waist is usually a 34 or 35. With the Kuiu attack I have previously bought the 36 waist and found it to be just perfect but no way could I get in a 34 kuiu.

Well I was very surprised to find that these pants not only fit perfect as a size 36 but the waist was a little big which I prefer since I usually wear a belt anyway. Standing the thighs didn't feel tight and the pants are not snug on my legs like skinny jeans would be. When I bent my leg I did feel more of a resistence or tightening on the bottom of the thigh but it in no way was bad. Also a few has stated that their junk was tight, I found the crotch to fit exactly like my kuiu attacks in this quick inital fitting.

So in the end I wish I would have ordered a second pair. On a sad note I guess I found out I should be wearing skinny jeans and well I must not be packing the big guns. I'm 5'11 and 200lbs and had zero issues with the fit other then yes it isn't as loose as the kuiu fit but not tight at all.

As with the vest the quality looks to be there, i'm overall very happy and impressed, just need to get some time in this stuff now.

I just did the same, except I sold all my KUIU gear. So far I have picked up the valhalla pullover, sherpa shirt, and cadog jacket. Waiting for the 2013 line up so I can pick up the Boreialis, Alaios pants, Poseidon rain gear, and also the new Kratos Vest.

any word on the top that was insulated everywhere your pack doesnt cover and wool on the back?

I have the vidor vest, valhalla pants and the sherpa pullover is on the way. I also want to get the Alaois pants. Think I'll stick with my golite vest and softshell since I hardly use a softshell anyway plus I have a ton of First Lite in black and brown to mix and match with it all.

That is a '13 items so I bet Aron and Jared have it, lol. It does interest me though.

That would be the Borealis, I haven't seen anything yet. perhaps Aron can chime in!

Dotman,

Thanks for posting initial thoughts on the pants, and how they fit you. I will give some consideration into purchasing another pair. I will probably wait for the 2013 line to come out.
