What our reviewers liked and didn't
De Havilland Pant
- Contour Waist System eliminates belt pinch and bruising under heavy pack loads
- Generous side vents dump heat rapidly on strenuous vertical ascents
- Durable double-weave fabric resists snagging in deadfall and abrasive scree
- Athletic patterning keeps fabric tight to the body without binding during movement
- Slight fabric noise makes it less ideal for close-range dry timber archery
- Lacks waterproof seat panels for sitting on saturated ground
- Heavier and warmer than dedicated early-season scouting pants
Rise Pro Pant
- Dead-silent brushed fleece outer fabric prevents scraping sounds on stand
- Internal wind-resistant membrane stops biting breezes while stationary
- Generous articulation prevents binding when seated on narrow tree platforms
- Unconditional lifetime warranty covers hard field wear and tear
- Fleece exterior easily attracts burs and sticktights in tall weeds
- Traps significant heat during steep or fast-paced approach hikes
- Bulkier and heavier to pack than lightweight mountain nylon pants
