What our reviewers liked and didn't
Attack Pant
- Unrestricted mobility provided by Toray Primeflex four-way stretch fabric
- Effective side hip vents rapidly dump body heat during steep climbs
- Brushed interior backer delivers next-to-skin comfort without retaining sweat
- Quiet face fabric prevents loud swishing noises in dense timber
- Lacks integrated knee pad pockets for crawling on rocky terrain
- Open weave fabric will saturate during prolonged, soaking downpours
- Vulnerable to surface pilling when pushed through aggressive thorn thickets
Alaios Pant
- High abrasion resistance against abrasive rock and dense scrub
- Internal knee pad compartments provide critical joint protection
- Cargo pocket placement remains usable beneath heavy pack waistbelts
- Athletic gusseted cut allows full range of motion on steep climbs
- Lacks zippered leg vents for heat dumping on warm afternoons
- Fabric face is slightly too noisy for tight timber archery stalks
- Heavier and bulkier to pack than minimalist warm-weather pants
