I have the mountain pants and they are very comfortable, but if I had it to do over I would buy the Timberline pants (same thing but with gore-tex over the knees and in the seat). This is needed because these soak up water like a sponge. The good news is that they dry out fast. The knee pads are great and really a plus (especially for bow hunting).
I spent a day last week in a constant wet snow and my Kuiu guide jacket shed the moisture as if it were waterproof(it is not), and these pants were soaked. I wish I had bought the Kuiu guide pants cause everyone seems to like them, but at this point I would greatly miss the knee pads. I also like all the pockets in these. I end up carrying stuff everywhere and the important stuff is zipped in place.
I was cold while glassing for hours with long underwear on under these at 30 degrees though (maybe I'm just a pansie), and they were definately too warm for my september elk hunt. Dang...I must be difficult to please!
I just looked up the Kryptek Cadogs and they should be significantly warmer with the fleese backing. Not sure if that is good or bad, but expect to need a layer under the sitka's to bring them to the same level of insulation. Of course the other side of this is that the kryptek's could be hot to walk in if the temp gets above 30. Just depends on what you are after.
After looking at Krypteks website, I would guess that the Dalibor pant is more comparable to the mountain pant, but it is just my "guess" I don't have anything of Krypteks.
