For just hiking and scouting i LOVE my Prana Zion Stretch pants. I have two pair, one in Mud and one in the Dark Khaki and they have been awesome. If im going to be hunting like small game or pheasant in briars or something and dont need my camo Kryptek stuff I use my First Lite Corrugate Guide pants in Dry Earth, also great pants and have been extremely durable. In that light though STAY AWAY from FL Obsidians, not nearly as durable as their Corrugates. But for just scouting/hiking my Pranas definitely are what Im wearing for breathability, durability, and they even shed the morning dew and light rain.
