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
