I used First Lite base layers and their Kanab pants for some fall scouting hikes (very wet) and for a 8 night/9 day hunt in the back country. Yes, it seemed a little expensive while I was purchasing the gear. But, after the hunt, I was very happy with the results and don't regret spending the money.

My hunting partner used some Kuiu Attack pants, and was equally satisfied.

YMMV,
Steve
