The Kuiu pants fit and finish are better all around in my opinion, though. I'll be getting a pair of the Verde color pattern when it comes out.

I own them all. Totally depends on the times and style of your hunting. Overall, I would recommend the 90% if they fit comfortably. :twocents:
I have some light weight Arc'teryx pants that are great for warmer weather hunts so I don't necessarily need the lightest weight pants. At the same time I am a very active hunter - lots of climbing/backcountry travelling/off trail travelling etc. and hunt all seasons from August all the way through to December. My Arc'teryx pants are a bit loud on the stalk and not camo so I was thinking of making the jump for some good camo clothing. I was leaning towards the 90% or the Timberline but could be talked into any of them, just wondering on the pros and cons of the different pants.

I love the fit of the 90%, but they are way to hot during archery season. The lighter ones are great, but they snag like hell if you go through black berries. Great clothes overall.

I agree. The OP said he had warmer weather pants, so I kind of left the Ascent Pants out. Their stretch and comfortability are unbeatable.

Both are just water resistant, not waterproof, so they will eventually get thru. That being said, I have never soaked thru but I have not been caught in a storm that would have done so.
If your going to sit and it's wet, just toss a kitchen trash bag in your pack and break that out to sit on.
The nice thing about the Ascent's is the layering underneath makes these pants. I have been in weather down to 20* and light/med wind, with layering, and not been at all cold. And I typically get cold when the wind the blows! I have also been in 75*+ weather, without layering, and did not sweat like crazy.
The only time I break out the 90% are when the temps are not going to crack 30*, or it's a very cold wind, or I plan on doing a lot of sitting/spotting. Add a pair of core bottoms or core merino in the mix to the 90% and I have been in -10* with a slight breeze and light snow and not been cold.
I have tossed the Ascent's in my pack and changed out from the 90% in the field on those wide temp swing days. On day hikes, 20oz or 25oz depending on which pants are in the pack, really is kind of an un-noticed weight. :twocents:

I think for your climate and where you hunt you might want to look at the Timberline?
