The attack pants are awesome. I wore them on a 4 day hike with temps from high 60's down to low 20's. We had wind, rain and wet snow. They kept me warm and dry the whole time. When it was too warm the hip nets were great. I have the teton long sleeve t's and they are really nice too. I do prefer first lite merino to the kuiu though. It's not bad, it's just not as comfortable in my opinion.

For what it's worth keep an eye on rokslide.com. there is always kuiu, sitka and first lite gear for sale in the classifieds

I also think the kuiu outerwear is great stuff, I also love the firstlite under pieces.  You can't go wrong!

Tops seem to run a size small, my only complaint so far for my rain jacket

The guide pants and gaitors are worth their weight in gold.  I just bought some Chugach raingear but they haven't been tested yet.  The guide jacket is really nice as well.  The only piece that I haven't been 100% happy with is the Teton soft shell jacket, it doesn't breathe well and doesn't have pit zips.

I'm not super impressed with my teton softshell either. It's just okay. I'll try the teton pants this weekend

Both the Chugach and Yukon gear is really solid stuff for rain gear, can't go wrong with either of those. If you like pockets on your pants get the Yukon

I have Kuiu Gaiters.  Love 'em.  IMHO their gear is every bit as good as Sitka, for a lot less $$.  We met one of the owners of Kuiu in the airport on our way home from our caribou hunt in Alaska last month.  Those guys really hunt.  It's not a fashion company.

The pants are just a little on the snug side. I'm a 32 and they are just a tad tight in the waist. Nothing bad or uncomfortable though and they do loosen up a bit when your wearing them.

They are great kinda like a no bells and whistles modle of my alpines. Never ran the attack so i dont have those to compare it to. For the money and early to mid season pants they are great.
