Title: KUIU Pants
Post by: Firedogg on September 24, 2015, 11:25:05 PM: I got home tonight to a package on the door step holding two pairs of KUIU Attack pants. I am going to have to keep wearing my old wool pants.... These things are too nice to wear out in the woods and they are comfortable too.

Aren't the Alpines the same material as the attacks? I may be wrong. I never considered the attacks loud but maybe the Alpines have a different finish.

I did during elk season, it worked ok. The Alpines are louder then other Kuiu pants. Not sure what the deal is but they aren't so loud you can't hunt in them. You are probably moving too fast and have other noise to worry about if they are. The fit is weird imo...these things are really big, not athletic fit at all. I wear a 38 in everything and I am swimming in the Alpines.

Post by: Firedogg on September 29, 2015, 11:30:24 AM: Much quieter than my Cabelas Trail Hiker canvas pants. They seem to be ahs quiet as the wool ones I wear, but much lighter and more comfortable.

Post by: northwesthunter84 on September 29, 2015, 08:56:44 PM: I ran Alpines during early season, they are way quieter than my old MT050 bibs were. I wore Kenetrek gaiters with mine since Kuiu were still backordered. I think that they are great and fill all of my needs for early season pants. They are a little different fit compared to my Guides but I think it was a inseam thing and the lack of the fleece backing. I just got my Chugach set in finally so trying to decide if I will run my Guide or Alpines under that. I guess it depends on temps for late archery.
