Title: Where to buy?
Post by: Commando on March 25, 2017, 07:42:12 PM: I was wanting to put my hands on some first lite camo before I make a decision on camo for this bext year. Does anyone know where I can look at some first lite camo on the west side? I went to sportco today and all they had was the rain gear and I just got off the phone with bass pro and they apparently don't carry any in the Tacoma store. Thanks

Evo Outdoors (SPONSOR!) has it and you should use them instead.
Very nice people and outstanding service.

Post by: Commando on March 26, 2017, 02:01:10 PM: I looked at evo outdoors as well. They don't have the guide pants in the fusion camo only in the asat camo. Unless they are just out of stock of that pattern at the moment. I've tried calling them but can't get a answer. I'll try calling again sometime this week though they might have just been out for the weekend.

Evo may not answer the call when it comes in but they've been very responsive and accommodating.
Try them again.
Support your locals!

the guide pants would be a good all season pant wouldn't they? id mostly be using them for the early elk season, but will also be doing a few days of late season black tail

absolutely. It's a tough pant and I use mine throughout the season.

Thing you have to remember about the wool stuff is it is not as durable as a poly/nylon material. If you are trudging through thick nasty all day stay away from the kanabs. Over here on the eastside and across the west where I hunt, I try and steer clear of the thick nasty. Most of what I do is backpack hunting as well so the kanabs are a great fit because after 8 or 9 days of hard hunting they won't smell. It's pure witch craft :chuckle:

So for long trips I wear kanabs. Short overnight or weekend hunts I like the 2.0, and for day or overnight stuff I'm in my prana's or guides.

Post by: Commando on March 28, 2017, 05:02:48 PM: I'm defiantly gonna try the guide pants. Heck if I like them enough I might buy a pair innsloid brown for pheasant hunting.

I am gonna try and keep getting in touch with evo. Like you said I do want to at least try everything on to get a size idea. I tried calling them a few times today but ok answer. They have most everything on want in there website but things like the guide pants and the best they only have in the asat line not the fusion camo. Maybe they can special order it for me.

Post by: mossyoak arrow slinger on March 28, 2017, 05:22:12 PM: I would atleast try them on to see the size and they are constantly getting new stuff in. I found the best way to get a hold of Dave is to email him. He has another day time job so it might be hard to get ahold of him during the day. ASAT all the way. Hahaha. Can't go wrong with any of their patterns.

Post by: Commando on March 28, 2017, 05:57:12 PM: I just emailed him so I'm waiting to hear back from him. Hopefully I can make my way down there this weekend and see him.

Do the kanabs fit the same as the guides? Bass pro has some kanabs in store right now. If I can't get in touch with evo I might go down to bass pro and try them on to get a sizing. I just tried doing a in home sizing and according to the measurements I got in supposed to be wearing a large and xxl pant :dunno:

Post by: Karl Blanchard on March 28, 2017, 06:08:05 PM: Wait seems about the same. Little slimmer in the legs on the guide pant but they are very stretchy so mobility is not an issue.
Title: Re: Where to buy?
Post by: Commando on March 28, 2017, 06:57:13 PM: Right on thanks. I normally were a size 36 or 38 in pants I'm thinking I will have to get either the xl or xxl. Prob the xl since I'm dieting and loosing some weight. I'm gonna call first lite tomorrow and see what they say
