I like the attack pant.  Very comfortable.  I don't think this pant will work on all weather condition.  You can layer up and it will work for cold weather, but when it rains, you'll get wet.

I don't think there's really an "all weather" pant you can buy for the climate we have here in the NW.

The attack pants work great 90% of the time...if it rains, I put on my rain gear.

On a side note...most comfortable pant I've ever worn.

I agree. By far my favorite hunting pant.

I don't mind them, though I'm tempted to pick up a pair of tiburons.

I was thinking about those as well, but they don't come in khaki. I wear them to work most of the time and don't like to walk around in camouflage

Mine just arrived.

Quality in design, fit, and finish are second to none IMHO.

I plan to wear these for all seasons.  For rain and walking through wetside brush I also bought the chugach rain pants.

You won't be sorry. The Attack Pants are by far my favorite hunting pants, and the Chugach rain gear is flat awesome.

I would say yes, they have zip vents on each leg. I got mine in major brown, and they are awesome! I would say they are a more versatile version of the sitka ascent pant..

Best pants I have ever owned.  Combine them with First Lite Red Desert Boxers for mild to cool weather.  Cold weather I layer long johns under them.  They have vents in them to let out some heat when you are hiking up hill or in the heat.  I picked up the Tiburons for hot weather.

Best fitting hunting pant I have ever owned.  I wore them last year for a November Elk hunt.  I got a little wet but they dried fast and I carry the chugach nx for rain gear.

You won't go wrong with them.

I have the Tiburons in verde and they work great for warm days in September.  The dot air fabric allows the breeze to flow through the material well.  Mornings can prove to be kinda chilly but as long as you are moving body temp should stay up.  Tempted to pick up a pair of Attack's since KUIU recently dropped their prices to cover all scenarios, with rain gear of course.

Go on the KUIU forum to get reviews.

Hmmh. I've been looking around at new threads for this falls hunts myself. While I find the name "attack pants" a bit silly this concept intrigues me. On one hand, they're not Sitka pants that cost $300-400. But OTOH if they aren't rain proof, should I really be spending $100+ on them? I don't live in the rainy wetside of Seattle anymore but i don't a hunt ruined by occasional rain either....

Do you normally hunt in rain gear?

Nope. Plus, I do most of my hunting in drought ridden New Mexico and Arizona these days. Last set of clothes i bought were cheap cotton camo clothes at Sportsmans Warehouse for $15 each and so far they usually work great. But my buddy who had the same trophy elk hunt last year that I drew this year said that it did rain several times on them. Having hunted in Forks in November this brings back bad memories but Arizona is not the Olympic Peninsula so maybe I should just have a cheaper set of rain repellant gear just in case.  :dunno:

Cotton is dangerous for hunting conditions, in my opinion.

Even then...not sure wage your setup is, but even in the desert it can get extremely cold at night. Catch a rain storm before dark with no way to dry first and you are wearing a heat sink.

Plus the smell gets unbearable. :)

Not that you have to spend a ton on gear but I'd look more towards synthetics or wool. Both can be had at a good price if you look around.

I have become a huge kuiu fan over the last few year's, I especially like the attack pants. Recently picked up a set of chugach rain gear that I will be putting to the test on an Alaska trip this fall.

Walked around for an hour yesterday afternoon with 70 lbs in the Kifaru, boots laced up, and attack pants.

These pants fit great.  The side vents are a good idea.

I originally bought the 32's--which fit even better around the hips, quads and butt--but a little too tight around the waste.

I exchanged them for the 34's--which fit snug around the waist--but I wish they were more tight in the aforementioned areas like the 32's.

The material is super soft and quiet.  Worth the $$.
