Great review. Thank you so much!!

[@StonnieDennis]

Nice review. Thanks!

[@phillhansen7238]

Well, I'm sold. Good review, thanks.

[@es2056]

I have three pairs of KUIU Kutana Stretch Woven Pants and they don't come true to size in my opinion. I use a 38" pant size and I have to order KUIU pants in size 40", 38's being too small. Otherwise they are great, I just came back from a two week trip to South Dakota where it was still quite cold and the Kutanas were outstanding.

[@Tay3257]

Negatives I found is that the side pockets opening are on the narrow side, and the pant picks up burrs. Besides that, I would recommend it.

Great pant. Have them in Valo! Thx

Saludos de elgin il.

great review! if i wear a base layer pant under and these like you do will i be ok in 5*-20* cold windy weather?

[@MountainVenture]

In my experience, the pant with a base layer was adequate while hiking in single digits with light wind. I have not tested them at that temperature while glassing or in a tree stand. If you are stationary in 5-20* windy conditions you will likely need to experiment with varying weights of base layers. Good luck and enjoy the adventure!

How are they through thorns

[@steelandsanderoutdoors2617]

Thanks, I got one this yr. So far great. On a side note does your KUIU pack squeak and creek while hiking?

[@MountainVenture]

ryan at steelandsander no squeaking on my KUIU 5200 or 3200. I’ve heard this has been an issue though and I’ve seen some fixes on KZbin.

[@saounyang]

Comfortable but picks up tons of thorns

[@pwprochazka]

i like the quality but they are far too baggy and the size of the pants legs at the shins/ankles are too large. they may fit a 32 inch waist fine. at a 36 inch waist, they are far too baggy.

[@jessen_0124]

Do you happen to remember what the name of the color of those pants are?

[@MountainVenture]

Major Brown

[@jessen_0124]

[@user-su4qm5rl2b]

Major Brown

[@konnorwerth582]

How are they holding up?

[@MountainVenture]

I just wore them last weekend on a snowshoe overnighter. I love these pants in cold weather. In the summer I wear the Tiburon pant.

[@andrewheichel7708]

Are these guys pretty stretchy?

[@MountainVenture]

Andrew Heichel they have a 4 way stretch material that is very comfortable for hiking.

[@LeeBro999]

He talked about this multiple times...you must have the attention span of a squirrel

[@MrCabimero]

What color are your pants?

[@MountainVenture]

Major brown

[@b.b.5048]

Is it quiet? For hunting. Thanks.

[@MountainVenture]

Yes, these pants are very quiet. Perfect for stalking.

[@alexmcconnell111]

How do these pants do in the rain?

[@MountainVenture]

Alex McConnell they come with a DWR type treatment so they are water resistant in light rain. However, like any DWR treatment it wears off after a few washings and will need to be retreated.

[@alexmcconnell111]

Mountain Venture awesome.. thanks for the response.

[@9770G]

@@MountainVenturewhat if u never wash them tho? Also what pants to u recommend wearing in a SHTF situation? Thanks.

[@MountainVenture]

@@9770G if you don’t wash the pant, the DWR will definitely last longer. I often wear the pants for multiple days - as long as two weeks on a long hunt or backpacking trip - without washing. They hold up great and don’t stink.

[@9770G]

@@MountainVenture what do u recommend for SHTF pants?

[@Meditech509]

So there is one thing left out of this review. As an outdoor pant they should not be made of a polyester that is in no way resistant to fire. I absolutely loved mine right up til a small ember snapped out of the fire and landed on my left side crotch area. Burned a hole straight through before I could even swipe it away. I will never purchase another set of these again. What a waste.
