I'm back to wool, myself. I haven't tried every synthetic product out there, but absolutely have not been impressed with the Kuiu or Sitka products, especially their pants. They are light, and keep you dry until you poke or wear a hole in them, and that ain't too difficult. I like plain jeans better when its not wet out.

I wear jeans warm weather, jeans with gators when I need them and wool when the snow is more than a foot or so deep, or the rain is coming down hard. I am all about Filson 100% virgin wool bibs and their tin products.
