Yeah, quite similar in function and design, and individual preference in features, fit, and camo are really the only things that set them apart, IMO.

Appreciate the assist J, thought I may need a Guide CDS Jacket. I love mine. Easily one of my most used pieces of backpacking clothing.

I hope you bought one size too large....they tend to fit a bit small.

Another vote for Prana Zion pants. Very versatile pants. I could hunt, hike, lounge around the house, wear them out to dinner, travel, whatever. Probably some better purpose built hunting pants out there, but I am not sure I will ever find out.

MARMOT Scree.
Mountain Hardwear Returnia for wetter, rougher conditions.
MH bibs are another option.
Thank me later.
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

Kuiu alpine pants are really nice, roomier and lighter than attacks with vents for hotter climbing or hiking good with a base layer down to the teens pretty easily. I like them better than the Kanabs which are also quite comfortable.

I've been wearing the Sitka Timberline pants for the past three seasons on mid-late season elk and deer hunts in central/ south central and south-western MT. I tend to put on a lot of miles so comfort is a must. The kneepads have been a godsend in the rugged area I hunt. The waterproof/ reinforced knee and seat areas have been great when kneeling or sitting in the snow or damp, wet dirt, grass etc; no leaks. I was a little skeptical about the durability when I bought them but after three full seasons and a lot of miles with the occasional scrambling up/ down and over rocky terrain and deadfall, in good and bad weather, they have held up great and would not wear anything else. ^^^^ These Pants for the mountains. Maybe on the spendy side in the category - but IMO can't beat 'em.... 3 or 4 years of use now and still in good shape. We do 1.5 week trips in Idaho and Wyoming Rockies, Sept - Oct (mostly mid Oct) ... a lot of backpacking for Mulies, good variety of weather. Wear them all week+ -- kinda stinky at the end as would be with any pants.

Attack pants if cool, guide pants if cold. Layer as needed. Prions are good but cut for the youthful. You might want to check out Duluth Trading dry on the fly and etc. Wear these everyday in spring - early fall and have pairs that are least 3 years old and in good shape.
