The Nitty Gritty | Choosing the Right Pant

[@mattmishler8129]

I hunt in Eastern Washington. I wear the Obsidian Merino pants when I turkey hunt and in the Oct Deer season. If I hunt the late deer season I wear the New catalyst soft shell pants. I wore the Catalyst soft shell for late deer season in Nov 2018 in 20 degree weather and was super comfortable. Didn't even need to wear a base layer.

Great video. I switched from cotton to merino last year and can't believe i waited so long. I have a pair of obsidion pants and I really love them. Now it looks like I will be picking up a pair of the corrugat guide pants too

[@GreenFields-7777]

Love my obsidians and corrugate guide pants for hunting, travel and dairy wear. Currogates were awesome for archery season in Colorado

[@ronaldcalvird8116]

Deciding between those two pants. Are the obsidians pretty tough or are the corrugates much tougher? Can’t make my mind up.

[@DirtyRedDog]

Obsidians get crotch blown out often. Awesome idea, horrible performance

[@kylevesely100]

what is the black shirt you are wearing?

[@mikesabo5151]

does the coregete guide pant come in 30 inch lenght and are those pant good for warm mild archrey season weather

[@jackswearhart6109]

i love my corrugate pants, always my goto for any time of year but kanab's will never get thrown away. Will the obsidian replace the kanab?

[@WhiteboyBeardman]

Are they noisy?

[@jessehollowell6995]

Are the obsidians water resistant? I'm sure they dry out quick being wool.

[@servantofyhvh8952]

Jesse hollowell they are not water resistant.

[@Longtail_editsWCUE]

Damn near every pant is made from the same, described the same, could be used in any weather, any time of year. Great distinction between pants.

[@triciad4100]

Any plans to make the Obsidians in women's sizes?

[@FluffyBuzzard2TheMax]

I think they have them now

[@triciad4100]

@@FluffyBuzzard2TheMax Just in time since we can't leave the house anymore! 😂 But thanks for letting me know.

[@JordanCouch1]

Great information!

[@WhiteboyBeardman]

So are the corrugates noisy?

[@FirstLiteHuntingApparel]

No so much as the Obsidians are incredibly silent.

[@Motomadman43]

Not at all. Super comfortable as well.

[@robertcerda92]

I bought a few different pairs of first lite pants and im very disappointed with them. They are very comfortable but not durable at all. I wore them scouting and I ripped a hole in the seat just sitting down on dirt and scooting around a little just to get comfortable. I walked through a field of foxtail weeds and they shredded my pants around the ankles.

[@albertledesma5173]

I would call them. That sounds like a problem they would gladly take care of for you.

[@FluffyBuzzard2TheMax]

I've heard of the obsidians ripping but not the nylon ones

[@shilohwallaby617]

Were you twerking your ass in the dirt? Sounds like a you problem

[@shilohwallaby617]

@@robertcerda92 still sounds like a you problem

Tank

[@hellsscoutact5379]

Just tell me where the belt rises and if the inseam is where it should be. What I mean the crouch should not have 3 to 5 extra inches of material so that ya got to yank on a pocket to step up high or take off running. The knees pads will then also be in the right place.

[@bgearing]

Don't buy the Obsidian Merino pants. They're awesome until you've hiked about 50 miles. By that time they'll be wearing out in the crotch. Check their website reviews, a lot of people have had the same experience.

[@Poepeestar]

With that price and they are made in china...I won't buy it again...I thought they are made in usa...I bought one I regretted it

[@jhamelin119]

I got a buck wearing red head gear....... under 200 bucks for bib and coat. Hunting at around 10-15C below zero. Will I be guaranteed to shoot a 185 plus buck every year if I own this gear??

[@jhamelin119]

You know what goes good with firstlite, 6.5 creedmore. You know what does good with sitka, 6.5PRC. gross

[@sauerkrautjr]

@@jhamelin119 you guys never spell Creedmoor correctly. More importantly, though, both Sitka and FirstLite heavily market to bowhunters. Good patterns and quiet fabric are kinda pointless for gun season.

[@jhamelin119]

@@sauerkrautjr ...........if your sitting in the bush, hiking in, spot and stalk, or still hunting. Good camo/quiet material is important i will agree. But....... if your sitting in a hut, shack, or luxury blind. You can hunt in your wives lingerie if youd like.

[@garytrigg-graynoth4034]

Shame the corrugate foundry pant is noisy as hell!

[@timothydean]

Great a $200 pant !!

[@codycreager4428]

Guide lite pants are not good at all they are not durable and not design for people that squat heavy. Everything pokes right through. Misleading. I love and rock everything first lite but not pants. Lol

[@jacobschweitzer2954]

first lite is a joke. Customer service is a joke. Product sizing is a joke. Product quality is a joke.
