Sitka this, Kuiu that, FirstLite they/them.
Yes, all of those brands make absolutely great gear. No complaints with any of their function or looks. For some, its a no brainer to use these systems for their hunt, but for many the price tag associated with these brands is very preventative, so i think its good to share when i have found a well-priced, great product.
Enter: Drake Waterfowl "Pursuit Tech Stretch Pant with Agion Active XL"
I used these pants on a 5 day back country Muley hunt in November, just outside Rifle, Colorado and they exceeded my expectations. Warm when i needed, but moisture wicking for those grueling afternoon hikes when the sun is high and temps are rising. Temps fluxed from 10 in the am to 35 in the afternoons, Colorado right. For ~$50 on sale, they over performed. They were extremely quiet, fleece lining was thin and comfortable, provided protection from sharp rocks and thick brush, all while regulating temperature well. Truly didn't know what to expect from a waterfowl focused brand but i couldn't keep their greatness to myself.
