What our reviewers liked and didn't

De Havilland LITE Pant

  • Patented Contour Waist eliminates pack belt pressure points and painful chafing
  • Massive mesh-free side zippers provide instant, high-volume heat dissipation
  • Athletic tailoring and four-way stretch allow full mobility on steep ascents
  • Dries remarkably fast after crossing creeks or hiking through wet morning grass
  • Mesh-free side vents expose bare leg skin to brush and biting insects when open
  • Lightweight double-weave fabric is susceptible to snagging in thorny brush
  • Athletic, tapered cut can feel restrictive for hunters with large thighs

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
