What our reviewers liked and didn't
Air LW Pant
- Generous cut enables outstanding passive airflow in high heat
- Ultralight fabric dries exceptionally fast after sweat or stream crossings
- Covered by an unconditional lifetime warranty that removes risk
- Flat-profile cargo pockets do not slap or bind while walking
- Roomy lower leg produces minor swishing noise in dense sagebrush
- Thin weave lacks the puncture resistance needed for thorny country
- Offers virtually no wind resistance when temperatures drop unexpectedly
Valhalla Pant
- Superb breathability and heat dissipation during intense early season stalks
- Streamlined athletic cut prevents snagging and brush friction noise
- Dries exceptionally fast following stream crossings or heavy exertion
- Minimalist waistband lies flat beneath heavily loaded pack belts
- Thin fabric offers zero protection against sharp thorns and cacti
- Lacks reinforced fabric on the knees and seat for abrasive rock use
- Pocket volume is deliberately minimal, limiting cargo capacity
