Early season pants

+1 on the kuiu alpine and the hip zips are great they really dump the heat when you need to

I've picked up a few items from Pnuma Outdoors (kind of a new kid on the block for upper crust hunting clothing).  Gotta say, really liking what I've bought so far and it will get its day in court in September.  Take a glance at the Tenacity pants (I grabbed a pair) and see what you think.  Can't beat the warranty  .

I'm far from a clothes snob. That said, the Cabelas Microtex are my favs for early hunts. The standard are tough, comfortable, and quiet. They make a lightweight also that I like when it's warm. They dry easily. Not rain gear, but most of the time that's not a problem. I find if I need rain gear in early season I better just carry it. Otherwise I get way too hot 90% of the time. There are other brands that are similar to the Microtex. 

I used a pair of these last year and was  pleased with them. Got warm a couple times but would have been warm in anything but a speedo and currently, kuiu doesn't make a speedo for lumberjacks.

And have also used the zip off hiking pants from Costco and those worked well. Although I don't like the wide leg around my feets , would like more of a taper leg.

Eddie bauer first ascent convertibles, or sitka ascent in optifade if I want to go ninja mode.  Either way the elk don't care.

They produce camo yoga pants now that are light and easy to move in. Excellent for early season. Check them out.

I recently purchased a pair of kuiu attack pants and it was a great purchase. You can you them early season for sure and layer them for late season. I recently was hiking in them in 80 degree weather and had no issues! You won't regret any kuiu purchase!

I bought the attack pants also.  Light weight, breathable, they stretch, love them so far.

Tiberon is really what I'm thinking. But was just looking for other options

Not sure about the tiburon line. Might be too thin for bustin brush??

I have some eddie bauer first ascent pants I love to wear hiking and scouting. Very comfortable but I don't think they would be as durable going thru lots of brush as my first lite pants are so that's what I wear for actual hunting.

I wear the first ascent pants a lot for forestry work on the east side or the west side when I know it won't be thick with blackberries. They hold up well the vine maple, salal, and salmon berry but I get poked easily when blackberry gets thick. These are what I will use to hunt early fall bear on the east side.

FirstLite Corrugates.
Costco sold a lightweight synthetic pant for $19.99 that was compared to the Prana and Eddie Bauer pant on Rokslide. I have two pair and they're excellent.

Cabela's xpg I've found them on sale around 40. Nylon/spandex pretty tough pant I've used them hunting and working outside! http://www.cabelas.com/product/CABELAS-TREKKER-PANT/1804348.uts

The problem with the tiberon is that you are truly limited to early season and if it gets cold you would really have to layer vs the attack where you can use them during different seasons.

The EB pants are super comfortable but not great in the thick stuff when I was shed hunting this year. Got some snags and you feel everything. These are some good tough pants. http://www.duluthtrading.com/store/mens/mens-pants/mens-pants.aspx
