Reviews

These pants work exactly like

"These pants work exactly like I hoped they would. There’s only one thing that bugs me, which is not having a front zipper. It didn’t even occur to me when I bought them that not having a zipper was a possibility on a pair of pants. Taking a leak is a little more complicated and noisy with the Velcro, but I can live with that."

— Jonathan C. (5/5)

Just not for me

"I expected them to be larger but they were too small to go on as an external layer. Order a larger size. Also they did not pack as small as expected so I returned them"

— harold p. (3/5)

I am very satisfied with

"I am very satisfied with the Kenai Pant. In"

Average

"For as much as these cost they're average at best. They do not offer a length on the legs. for me they're 3 inches too long."

— Richard B. (3/5)

Kenai Pant

"Love these, the only way I would improve them is to add a fly and at least one pocket."

— Trevor M. (4/5)

Almost perfect

"Great piece, I like to use over layers as described. It is extremely quiet, warm, lightweight, and pajama comfortable. It could be so much more functional if only it had a fly zipper. I really like it as a “truck to stand” pant. After layering over it, access become an issue."

— Timothy N. (4/5)

Whitetail pants for the modern hunter

"Amazing insulation layer. Great fit and very packable for an insulation piece that isn’t down. Whitetail hunting is my jam and I sat in 12” of snow on a thin pad comfortably. I tried the kryptek comparable pants and these take the cake in comparison."

— Dalton S. (5/5)

Good warmth. A few things

"Good warmth. A few things I don't like. Velcro straps only to secure the waist. Material is not very durable and water resistance is minimal at best which is not as advertised"

— Derek R. (3/5)

Great performance however it's missing one key feature.

"The Kenai is an extremely warm and quiet pant that performs well. It could be improved by adding a front zipper or opening."

— Todd F. (5/5)

Versatile top or layer piece

"I got these in a Large and use them for a few things. First, for tree stand hunting. They fit comfortably over long under wear and my Axis Hybrids and keep me warm in almost all weather conditions (I hunt in Minnesota and we see temps to 15 F during bowhunting season and worse with wind chill. ) Second, I can use them when the weather gets nasty during musky fishing under my gortex coveralls and over a pair of jeans. Lastly, sitting around the cabin when it's chilly or I'm having a cup of coffee outside on a crisp morning, these really keep me warm. The XL fits best for me in most of my Kuiu stuff, but I got these in a large because I want them to be a bit more form fitting. I'm glad I did because they are a comfortably snug fit and don't slip while I'm walking. I don't think the lack of pockets is a big deal at all because the side zippers easily allow access to your pant pockets underneath. I don't think they would hold up too well for pheasant hunting or walking in tangly woods, but if you want something nice as a warm layer or wrap over the top for fishing, hunting, or going to an outdoor football game, these are great. Just don't expect to use them as a single piece against very cold weather."

— Tim S. (5/5)

Q&A

Anybody know if they're loud or noisy especially in colder temps like 20's or below, sometimes fabrics/clothing can get louder in colder temps. Looking to add as mid layer under my outer layer so noise probably won't be much of issue.
The Kenai Pant is one of our quietest fabrics, even in extremely cold temperatures.
Will the Kenai pant ever be offered in Valo?
We only have plans to offer the Kenai Pants in solids at this time.
