My advice is to wear them unless it's very warm, then go Tarzan.

I wish they still made those.

You and me, both. Luckily I squirreled away a couple of extra pair.

I hiked a lot this past weekend i. SW Va. Morning was in the early 30s, midday hit 65 then cold again at night. Climbed some steep hills and covered a lot of ground.

I've done similar hikes in jeans and in coveralls with long johns underneath. Sweating and ultimately chafing became an issue.

Kuiu Attack pants are great! Just got a pair and tried them out this weekend. The vents allowed for noticeable airflow, no chafing and a much more comfortable walk. Waist is very comfortable, good pockets and water resistant.

Looking forward to seeing how they do during cold late muzzleloader.


The woods and the water recharge my batteries.

If going when its a bit colder, add a lightweight layer underneath. My kids wore it in 70 degree days with no layer underneath to snow on the ground with a layer.


Yeppers! I hope they are still available. I should check and buy more.

I’ve been wearing microtex pants for 15 years. Cant see the need to buy anything else they are really tough and long lasting. I do wear the “light” version for early archery elk. November I just wear regular microtex with long underwear below. They dry pretty quick, cut wind good and breathe. gave up on my goretex pants even in the cold and rain. Hard shell rain gear pants if it gets real bad but I almost never wear them even in heavy rain. Cant seem to want to pony up for the $300 first light unpronounceables. My buddy’s are full of holes and stitching after just a couple seasons.
