What our reviewers liked and didn't
Men's 308 Pant
- Brushed face fabric provides top-tier acoustic stealth in thick timber
- Dense weave blocks cold morning winds far better than ultralight pants
- Soft interior face feels comfortable directly against bare skin
- Low-profile cargo pockets prevent equipment bounce during stalks
- No zippered side vents to dump heat during steep midday climbs
- Brushed exterior catches aggressive burrs more easily than slick nylon
- Too warm for mid-summer scouting or early-season desert hunts
Tiburon Pant
- Unrivaled airflow and heat dispersal in ninety-degree weather
- Dries out in minutes following sweat buildup or creek crossings
- Streamlined leg taper prevents material rustling on stalks
- Low-bulk mechanical stretch eliminates binding without added weight
- Open micro-weave fabric snags easily in dense briars and thorns
- Provides virtually no wind resistance when ambient temperatures drop
- Water-repellent finish wears off quickly under pack-belt friction
