I love mine. They are the most durable hunting pants I’ve used. I’ve been amazed that I haven’t ripped them on some of the snags and rocks I’ve tangled up with. Kinda sorta water resistant. Dry fast. Have enough stretch to them. Pockets and zippers are good and not weird sizes like some pants.
I had a hard time spending that much money on them but I don’t regret it a bit and will buy more when I need them. I got mine for a few bucks off on some sale they were having.

I've got a couple pairs and like them a lot. Soft, quiet, fit good, although a little long. I'm not quite built like the tall slender "back country" hunter they're marketed to. I don't use the back pockets as my wallet feels weird back there, but the cargo pockets get plenty of use. I like that they are solid color. Durability is great. Have had them for years and probably will have them for many more. They're not super light but not heavy. I wear them mostly in colder weather.
Comfortable, leg vents i cant do without but fabric isnt the toughest against thorns. I own couple pairs, one is old and well faded from use and washing but still good pant thats held up well. They do run a little warmer than just standard single layer pants to me and never wear then on August type hunts. I still wear truspec expedition pants on 90% of my non-snowy hunts.

I love mine. The only time I don’t wear them is very early or late season. Quiet, durable, not too heavy, leg vents are awesome. I just picked up a second pair this week actually.

They generally will go on sale at 25% off once or twice a year. I wear mine from 70+ down to 0. When it is really cold I do the zip on insulating layer over top of them when sitting.
I got my first pair used over 12 years ago and am still wearing them. I have 2 pairs. They have a few small holes but nothing bad enough to bother patching them.
I have some Sitka mountain pants and they are good but too heavy for the early season and just not as comfortable as the attack pants.

Love mine. Goto pants regardless of weather. Vents shed heat in summer. Plenty of zippered pockets, which are a must have for me. Very comfortable.
I've looked for sales but seems the Attack pants haven't been offered. $150 doesn't seem bad in relation to the use you guys are getting from them. Thanks all. mtmuley

As a self appointed expert on KUIU, I have virtually every pant they make. They are good for an all around pant. I even wear them for business meetings. As far as hunting they are very durable and have a little stretch for comfort. If you are hunting in hot weather then Tiberon are better. If cold weather hunting and you need warmth there are better choices like the guide pant. My only complaint with these and a couple other pants are the leg pants because I don't like the zipper flaps. I prefer the straight zipper with no flap cover like the Guide.
Unfortunately the best pants they no longer make like the Alpine and Chinook.
But you wont be disappointed with the Attack. I have 5 different pairs and my oldest are 7 plus years old and still look great, no rips, tears or any problems.

I own the guide pant and the attack pants, my sheep hunt last year decided what will work going forward for me. My buddy and I wore the guide pant and my son wore my old First lite Foundry pants, we slid down the slope on our buts after loaded with the ram due to the slope angle. Both my buddy and I, wearing the Guide pants were ripped profusely from the odd rock... my sons Foundry pant was untouched!!! I just ordered another pair but in a different colour, I got them within a few days and they are awesome!! just my two cents.
So you didn't use the Attack pants? mtmuley
I think I sent you a PM, but if not I have both Sitka Timberline and the KUIU Attacks. Attacks are a little warmer....good in some cases, not in others. I was disappointed in how the Attacks wore in the woods. I had roughly 10? little marks where it grabbed some fabric and pulled it after shed hunting a hardwoods. So a little worrisome about the durability. Timberlines seem better in that regard. I think buckthorn or prickly ash would be pretty hard on them. Wait for the sale. they will go on sale for about $100. Very good pants overall, but I wouldn't give them a 10 out of 10 due to durability.
Where are you guys finding these sales? mtmuley

@mtmuley They normally have sales around the holidays. They just had one for Memorial Day. They should have one for July 4th, they should have one around Labor Day, then they have one called The Best Sale of the Year. If you ever wonder, you can call them at 855-914-4853 and ask for the customer support/service. They are correct that you can purchase them in the $100 to $120 range during the sales.
Also, check out the Kuiu Pro Brush Pant. It is the Attack Pant but built for all the prickly things that stuck me while I was in NM.

I must be doing something wrong, but they weren't on sale for Memorial day as far as I could tell. I'm not opposed to paying full price but a discount would be nice. mtmuley
Exactly what WNC2500 said. I have heard great things about the Kutana from a buddy, but no personal experience.
If you are not going to use them until the fall (they are a little hot for me in the summer months), then wait. I will try and remember to ping you if I see them on sale.
