I think it’s just to complicated everyone wants something different even doing the same thing or same type of hunting there is no one size fits all or most. One guy likes it this way another likes it this way doing the exact same thing. Sure buttons and zippers won’t last forever but they should last a few years at 150-350 for a pair of pants. A lot of these hunting brands say lifetime warranty until you try and use it then it’s oh that’s normal or you have to read the fine print it’s lifetime if they deem it so. Take badlands there warranty says no matter what throw it down the mountain burn it in the fire etc we will fix or replace it well I had some boxers and had 7 pairs of them and everyone of them the waistband came apart after a very short time well I called them up and was told oh we can’t fix those cause the material is thin and we can’t sew it WTH.. how did you sew it to start with and then maybe you should say the warranty does not apply to thin material. Well my aunt fixed every pair with her singer sewing machine.
I don’t mind having a different set for different temps as I want comfort I own some of every company’s out there with over 50 pairs of pants and have yet to find a pair of hot weather pants that actually breath without falling apart in thick stuff. Now I buy solid colors only and look for stuff that can pull double duty if I’m spending 170 plus for a pair of pants I wanna use em for hunting and to run around town or even church and kuiu has been good for that pnuma has a nice pair as well for that not the pathfinder pants but the prevail pants love those pants but they only make one color clay. The other thing is fit so many of these places can’t keep sizing the same across the board even in the same pants every color or pattern will fit differently which is nuts and I’m not talking about if it’s an athletic fit or expedition fit just there waist size or inseam. First lite I use a 36 in most pants but if I get a 36 in there 308 they swallow me up so have to get the 34 in those. Sitka is the same way. I understand one pair of this or that can’t do everything but it dame sure needs to do what is advertised for these outrageous prices seems we get China made quality at American made prices..
