Perfect backcountry hunting pant

"Just got back from a backcountry muzzleloader hunt in Utah between 8000-10,000ft. This was my go to hunting pant for the mornings and whenever it was windy conditions. Plan on using this also for rifle season. Just enough insulation to keep you warm without too much heat or weight. Well built! Bullet-proof on brush and downed timber. Great pockets...perfect stretch!"

— Brian P. (5/5)

Excellent Hunting pants!

"Most comfortable, effective mid- to late-season pant I have! It’s warm, and you can move really easily with it. Highly recommend! I just had to size up one from my regular size, but not an issue, the customer service team were amazing about helping me get the right size at no additional costs."

— Marnus G. (5/5)

Poor design

"Like all the pants made by KUIU, they run small and short. There are a lot of zippered pockets, but they are poorly positioned and too small to be functional. For example, two small zippered front pockets are way too small, then they added 2 additional pockets on the left side instead having a cargo pocket on each thigh. Zippered vents on the outside of the hips which is poor placement as nobody’s hips sweat when hiking. And no leg zippers. The person who designed these pants obviously doesn’t spend time outdoors."

— Kevin S. (2/5)

Solid pant

"Really really solid pants. I’ve wanted these for years and finally pulled the trigger. Personally I don’t like the fit - waste is snug and the legs are baggy for my liking. 6’ 195 lbs - bought 34 regular. Would recommend."

— Alec V. (4/5)

Initial thoughts

"Haven't worn them other than initial try-on when they arrived. The quality and placement of all components that make up the pants is top notch. The seem a little shorter in length than I normally like my pants but the fit is apparently intentional and the next size up would be 4 inches longer in the inseam. Can't wait to wear them for 9 days in Northern AZ."

Axis Hybrid

"Great pant! Durable, quiet, and the added waterproof sections are nice for the PNW. Only issue I ran into is sizing. I find that the pant runs small. I normally wear a 32x34 but I ended up having to exchange for a 34x34."

— Michael S. (5/5)

First hunt

"Had my first hunt the past four days … wore them lots. They’re light and comfortable. They fit very small around the waist and the heel will likely wear through from my boot. Water would come through a bit as it rained steady but they were more damp than wet"

— Nicholas m. (4/5)

Amazing pants, but new ones seem to run VERY small

"I love these pants as I've used them for a few years. My recent Mt Goat hunt in Alaska took it's toll on my pair so I ordered some new ones. When the new ones arrived (same size as my previous pair) they were WAY too small. Thankfully with the exchange program I was able to send them back and get a better size. I don't know what changed in the last few years of sizing but they are not even close. My old pair was true to my size that I wear for all my pants, these new ones I couldn't even button up with the size I normally wear."

— Daniel W. (4/5)

Axis Pant

"Just finished a moose hunt in Alaska. Constant drizzle and some heavy rain. Waterproof areas did well keeping me dry. The only think I would improve I. The length of the fly. Need to be dropped another .5 to 1.0”"

— Thomas S. (4/5)

Un box review only not field tested

"Out of the box pants are great. I’m 5’7” 200lbs stocky build. 32x31(short) are spot on. I love that the length of the pants are not dragging on the ground without footwear on. The fleece lining feel comfy and I love all the pockets. I doubt I will actually use them all but nice they are there. I will say the waste band stretch’s but not as much as the attack pants. Which makes sense seeing how half of the waste / the whole back side is water proof. I wound recommend these to any one. Bought these for Michigan archery season. From Oct 1st to Nov 14th, the weather can swing big time. 74 and sunny one day and the next 34, wet and super windy. I also but the Attack pants too because I won’t be wearing these pants on a 74 degree and sunny day."
