Firstlite pants

OLDHORNHUNTER · Aug 31, 2016

Well I bit the bullet & bought a pair of the Firstlite Kanab 2.0 pants does anyone have any pros or cons on how these pants are in the field !!! The main complaint I saw was the button on the knee getting in the way . I got tired of calling KUIU & being told " still on Back order " Love KUIU gear & their prices But DAMN get your gear in STOCK !!!

I have a pair of the 2.0 Kanab's as well. Really like them, except the fact that they're too short. Inseam on the larges is ~32". I want to try the new tall sizes.

I really hate the button on the knee, mostly dislike it while driving as it sits right where my knee rests against the door.
Also it seemed like all the little stickers stuck to the pants. Not sure if there is a pant made that those things won't stick too, but I'm searching.

thanks for the info I bought the medium tall pants I am 6'2" they fit good Don't like the thought of all the stickers .With the KUIU Guide pants I did not have any sticker issues . I hope they are good for early season when the temps are in the mid 70s & 80s ??

They were perfect for the archery opener a couple weeks ago with temps around 70 during the day. Took them shooting in the valley and felt they were a little on the warm size once temps hit 80+.

I have the kanabs and the stretchy guide pants. I like the guide pant a lot more.

As mentioned above I hate the button thing too. I'm 6'4" and they don't fit me. Not long enough.

The best pant I've ever worn is from Kings, it's a stretchy material, long enough that it doesn't pull over my boots, comfy, silent which is what I demand in my camo, and overall the best pant I have.

Never tried KUIU or Sitka, well a couple Sitka items, I personally think the price tag of these brands is ridiculous.

You want pants that don't get stickers? Carharts. Or Old Glory brand from walmart. Cheap, durable, quiet, shed stickers. Hard to beat em.

I bought the Kanab 2.0 I personally after wearing them twice don't care for them . My own fault I guess I should have looked & tried them on in one of the stores 1st . They are really tight around the legs, they do stretch a bit but not the pant feel I am used to . It was in the 80s both days I hunted & they were not hot , they breathe well, the button on the knee that everyone says is a bother didn't seem to get in the way while kneeling . It is as pain in the Azz rattling against the door while driving thou . Over all not a bad pant But NOT the comfort or Quality I found in the KUIU pants !!!

One of the many things I love about my Kuiu Attack Pant are the thigh vents, when it gets warmer or I am exerting I can open them and get airflow along the legs, almost as good as shorts with full length protection.
