What our reviewers liked and didn't

Attack Pant

  • Mechanical four-way stretch allows total mobility without elastane water-weight
  • Generous mesh hip vents quickly dump excess body heat during steep climbs
  • Brushed interior fabric eliminates clamminess in variable weather
  • Quiet fabric face excels during close-quarters archery stalks
  • Runs warm during prolonged midday hunting in intense direct heat
  • Slightly textured outer face can catch burrs and stickers in low brush
  • Dries slower than dedicated, paper-thin warm-weather technical pants

Passbreaker Pant

  • Exceptional fabric durability against shale, scrub, and deadfall
  • Flat, low-profile waistband rides pain-free under heavy pack belts
  • Generous four-way mechanical stretch allows unrestricted movement
  • Tightly woven face resists snagging, pilling, and burrs
  • Lacks zippered side vents for dumping excess heat during hot ascents
  • Heavier and warmer than dedicated ultralight August summer pants
  • Premium pricing puts it at the high end of the market
