Some cheap pants that stretch and are tough as nail, also made in china like kuiu.
$41 @ Amazon
Little Donkey Andy Men's Quick Dry UPF 50+ Cargo Pants, Stretch Lightweight Outdoor Hiking Pants Cool. What hunts have you successfully used them on? Many Florida hog hunts deep into the swamps lots of 'devils walking cane' thorn bushes. They get some picks in them but are hard to tear. They dry very fast also. Mostly open hard woods here in arkansas, easy terrain. They do seem to soak up water and dry slower when they've been worn a lot. I think the threads/material ? fluff out a bit and cause that. Bought 3 more pairs, 2 in green, 1 in light cream beige one size up from my size, I'll use them in the winter for snow camo.

I read made in China on this site, and researched it online. ? . It's posted on the internet it's got to be true.

KUIU hunting gear has been tested around the world in all types of terrain and weather conditions. As a fit, comfortable, and sustained hunting gear, you may wish to know, “Where is KUIU made?”
where is KUIU made Contents Where is KUIU manufactured in 2023: Where is KUIU clothing made? Where is KUIU hunting gear made?

After a recent acquisition and use last weekend I'm a fan of their Attack pants. Almost everywhere I hunt is a mountainside. I'm in decent shape, but I'm a world class sweater..seems like the better my conditioning, the quicker I start and the more I sweat. The hip vents really helped. Have you ever tried Prana Zion pants? Wondering if you have how they compare IMHO Prana Zion = business casual. See lots of guys on Rokslide making reccomendations or asking about them.

The Kuiu stuff I have bought is not made in China. Where is it made? A variety of countries, including Vietnam, but none so far has said China on the tag. Well, I was mistaken. I just went and started looking through my stuff, some bought as recently as a few weeks ago and some several years old, and 3 out of the 17 Kuiu articles I checked said China on the tag. My apologies. The vast majority was made in Vietnam, with the odd Cambodia, Columbia, Sri Lanka, and even USA thrown in there. The most recent stuff was all made in Vietnam.

Guess I will grab a spare set of the Kutana Storm shell. Thanks. What's your thoughts on the Kutana? Holds up better than the Chugach set in the alders/brush. On my third year on my set without issue. The Chugach was lighter and didn’t hold up near as well….I have 4-5 holes in my set from basic rut hikes.

I have one of their Guide jackets. The only thing I don't like is the arms are tight. I don't consider myself to have "pythons" for arms, but the jacket is a little tight from the bicep through the forearms. Anyone else experience this with their jackets?

They definitely have an "Athletic" fit. For jackets it is wise to up size.
Good Shooting!

I have three pieces of KUIU I really like and never go on a hunt without they are:
Kenai hooded jacket
Peloton 240 hooded jacket
Kenai Beanie
Other than that I haven’t been impressed

I see a lot of people recommending attack pants but have not pulled the trigger on a pair yet. Just curious to hear peoples opinions who have tried both

I usually am right between L and XL, mainly because I have broad shoulders.

I have a couple pair of the Zions and recently adopted some Kuiu attack pants. I’d say comfort is about a wash. The attack pants are a lot warmer than the Pranas IMO. I kinda prefer the Pranas with the built in “belt” over having to wear a belt with the Kuiu. I have noticed the Pranas pick up a bunch more cockaburs, etc than the Kuiu. I have 4 or 5 pair of zions, I really like them for hunts that require a lot of hiking or my pack hunts .
