Best Hunting Pants?

This gear review is all about hunting pants! Jeff has used several pants more than the 7 pictured here. From the Kuiu attack pant to the Sitka mountain pant and the Eddie Bauer guide and Prana stretch zion pant. several of these pants could make a great full-time hunting pant. The quest for the best hunting pant is a dark deep deep hole to climb into. I've yet to find the do it all hunting pant. But the search must go on! here are my thoughts on my current 7 pairs.

First lite corrugate pants, by far the most comfortable pants I’ve ever worn I could wear them every day!

[@PNWild]

Tried them for 2 years, too baggy and loose for me. Didn’t like them. Comfortable yes, but fit was a 5/10 for me

[@burkejones8277]

I agree about the corrugate guide pant. I love mine. But I ordered a pair of the Prana’s because I just don’t like paying $150 for a pair of hunting pants. But I will probably get another pair of guide pants when I wear out the ones I have.

You bet!

[@madman432000]

Kuiu attacks for me, close match is the SKRE pants. First lite Corrugate guide for a lighter weight pant. Kuiu chinook pant for colder weather. I'm in WW too hunt September through December.

[@roryreed6014]

Great review. I’ve been contemplating going to a top of the line camp company and for the price it’s hard to commit. Glad to see an honest review.

[@PNWild]

thanks rory, dont get me wrong the high end hunting pants are really nice and durable like i stated but my favorite are the eddies.

[@outdooroutfitters3658]

Your comment about sizes is exactly why I had to buy clothes on-line. That limits my options greatly.

Hey bro, I may be late to the conversation, but Eddie warranties their clothes for life. I have had stitching come undone, took them back, and walked out with a new pair.

[@PNWild]

No fricken way! Great to know haha

[@kylewright1413]

The Eddie Guide Pro Accent series are so underrated. From their shorts to the unlined pants and the lined pants I practically live in them! They are gaining popularity and Eddie has increased price. But they will run sales around holidays and for rewards members! Headed to CO in Oct. and I’ve been insisted on bringing a pair of SG Dehaviland’s. But I guarantee you the Eddie’s will make the trip as well! Great review!

[@PNWild]

The Eddie's are sure hard to beat for the price! Zack rocks the unlined pants and the fleece lined pants still!

[@mjpermin]

prana pants are absolutely awesome, the bronson is one of my favorite daily pants, cant speak highly enough of them.

[@kojack635]

Not anymore. They changed on version 2.0. Check their reviews on their website for men's pants

As I use Firstlite and am looking hard at Kuiu, what was the defining factor for you to make the move???

[@hamedizzy6441]

Nice review. I found kuiu fit well on more athletic built ppl and first lite more for round lol.

[@Bmoremik3]

I haven’t tried the KIUSs or some of these pants, but My favorite hunting/field pants are not “hunting” pants. UF Pro P-40 Urban Tactical Pants with zip out windstopper lining. Made in Europe, bomb proof pants that can handle anything with additional thermals underneath.

[@PNWild]

First season hunting! I bought some light outdoor pants from Walmart but they snagged on EVERYTHING walking through brush in oregon. Does the Eddie snag on thorns and brush? What pants don't snag?

[@MattChat56]

Damn I needed this review.

[@PNWild]

Glad to hear that!

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

I truly love my under armour windstopper pants

[@drested1793]

Great review! I’d like to add, if you’re looking for pants that meet all the criteria you were talking about above without a real steep price tag, look at the black ovis granite peak and cottonwood creek pants. Mid and light weight. Very comfortable, quiet, stretchy, great fit. Full price about 70-75, can find them on sale for 60 through the Camo fire daily sale deal. These things are the business. For the record I’ve got 3different types of Kuiu pants and 2 types of first lite’s.

[@PNWild]

You got me sold!! I’ll be trying them! Thanks for the insight!

[@drested1793]

I’m same 50-70* is sweet spot for temps. For that reason I subbed. 😁

[@PNWild]

Hahahah

[@blakemarshall7879]

Check out the Blackovis Cottonwood Creek about 75 on their website and about 60 off camofire when they come around, great stretch which they had more for the cargo pockets but very comfortable. They are very similar to the Prana but more stretch in my opinion. First lite corrugate guides are my other go to, perfect pocket configuration and stretch but maybe just a touch warm.

[@PNWild]

Second comment recommending these! I have to try them now!! Thanks so much!!

[@tonygillahan]

Salomon Wayfearer for me, I can't do pants without zip pockets and they're stupid comfortable.

[@PNWild]

Thanks for the hot tip!! I’ll look into them

[@donfrance3]

here in the Rocky Mountains, sitka is really good and kuiu is generally considered a step better.

[@StoneTrees]

My perfect hunting pant doesn't yet exist. I want the Kuhl Renegade cargo pocket layout with the Prana Zion stretch fabric, gusseted crotch, and stitching.

[@PNWild]

Amen dude!

[@WqpW-WqpW]

Prana is a shitty brand for technical stuff dont trust it

[@steven_farmer89]

I’m in the same area as you, live 20 mins east of Seattle. I was looking at the Kuiu pants, I have heard their sizes run a bit small.

[@latorgator23]

I love my kuiu attacks and tiburons, but I lol’ed at your drunk comment!

[@PNWild]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@case8987]

What long Johns are you wearing?

[@montanatodd8676]

Kuiu attack have been my favorite for hunting, but now I think the Duluth trading Dry on the Fly pants are the ultimate early to mid season pant. Very breathable even with a merino base layer and hold up well. Great summer hiking and fishing as well. Great pocket structure and set up. Just bought 2 more pair on sale for $40

[@flipsyde8897]

Have you tried the Kuiu Kutana pant? I'm debating between those and the Attack for an all season, all types of hunting type pant. Layering under and over as needed.

[@GreenFields-7777]

I have the Kutana and Attack pants and they’re both phenomenal. But the attack pants would be way too warm for early season and if you run hot. The Kutanas are amazing but certainly geared towards warm weather. But you could layer under them based on your preference. As far as one pant, you might want to consider the first light Corrugate Guide pants. I love those pants and have used them duckhunting in the winter with thermals underneath and elk hunting in early September. They are also a great pant. Very comfortable and great pockets. It would be the perfect pant if they put side zips or hip vents on the pants.

[@flipsyde8897]

@@GreenFields-7777 That is great to know. Thank you very much for your response! I'll look into those

[@acsidaho]

For me: 1) Sitka Ascent (great stretch/movement) .... super light but durable. 2) Prana Zion (mostly for everyday use ) .... 3) Kuiu Attack/Sitka Mtn. I prefer Sitka Mtn, but like the solid colors of the Attack. Wear in weather below 40 degrees. Kuiu sizes are ridiculous, I agree. I"m 34 in everything. 38 in Kuiu. I have their tiburan and Kutana ... their stretch/movement in those is horrible. Feels like they're always binding in knees and pulling down.

[@PNWild]

love the feedback man! appreciate it a ton!

[@goinglight5169]

What color did you go with for your Kuiu Attack pants?

[@PNWild]

Jeff went with the major brown. But we are also currently testing the khaki as well.

[@joewiltjer5201]

I second the Eddie Bauer Guide pant, I've also never seen them reviewed along with high priced hunting gear. Those Eddie Bauer's are comfortable, and very under rated- they have a fleece lined set that's nice with layering too.

[@PNWild]

100% man

[@johnlee8123]

Would the Eddie bower be good for spring bear in 30-60 temp range?

[@PNWild]

Maybe in the morning they would need a little base layer! But other than that they would be amazing

[@tysoncurtis1455]

How is the durability on the kuiu axis hybrid pants?

[@PNWild]

Very durable wore them for 10 days In Colorado. Great pants man, I’ll be doing a follow up video on my gear soon

[@brandonrogers4415]

How hot would you still use the attack up to?

[@PNWild]

Really depends on the person but I’d say 60 degrees and I ( Jeff ) start getting to hot and need to go with a lighter pair of pants.

[@joshuawarren6792]

A pair Stone Glacier pants would save you a ton of time and money trying all these options.

[@PNWild]

Hahaha marysville but yeah!

[@scottleggejr]

I'm a minimalist. I mostly hunt upland birds in Levi's denim until last year when the dew was off the charts. By lunch my bottom half was soaked pant > sock > boot. I was pissed. Great for dogs on birds, not for cotton pants. Wrangler and Carhartt both make a great budget sand/tan cargo water resistant pant under $40 and they're super tough and strong. The other thing is I think a lot of these hunting companies are "figuring it out" because like you say, the sizes/shapes are weird. The knee pads (?) and other gimmicks seem really, truly odd to me. Can't think of one time hunting where I've desired knee pads. Maybe they're for a younger demographic coming in to the scene? I've never had any under armor products I thought were quality or value.

[@moorehuntin8732]

Helpful for saddle hunting.

[@scottleggejr]

@@moorehuntin8732 like horseback? You wear knee pads on a horse?

[@moorehuntin8732]

Google it. It’s a mobile way to hunt deer (amongst other things) from trees without a lot of gear. Knee pads help with the lean against the tree. I’m not sure that was their original intention though, but it works.

[@nickhryb7064]

I've ran Attacks and every piece of First Lite. The First lite Corrugates are comfy but they do fit baggy even in smaller sizes and I have found the fabric started to pill after one season and that really bothered me. I HIGHLY RCCOMEND the Eddie Bauer first accent WORK PANTS. They have a little more fabric on the fronts and I wore them almost exclusively on aw 100 km horse back hunt in Northern BC without any issue at all. The EB's are generally half the price and I have found will do everything you ask them to. The only negative I have found is the work pants stitching around the front pockets will go but that is easily fixed by a seamstress for dollars. The roll up to nothing in your back if you're bringing a spare. I have 6 pairs.

Disregard his thoughts on the Kuiu Attack Pant being too hot. They keep you cooler than a pair of shorts would.
