Ok so I know everyone has their different opinions on what brand pants are better than the others. I currently wear my Air Force issued OCPS. The multi-cam pattern blends in great with the surroundings but I find myself getting swap @$$ more often than I should. Also, I don\'t feel like they breathe that well. I have been looking at the Kuiu brand of clothing. I have a couple merino shirts that breathe really well and also don\'t stink up like cotton shirts. The OCP pants that I am currently using are made from 65% Rayon, 25% Par-Aramid and 10% Nylon. Would switching to a better designed product be worth the price and comfort?

Maybe change your under stuff.
I\'ve never had an issue with the OCPs breathing bad!
You have to remember it\'ll be a lot cooler when you get back.
The OCPs also adjust 5\" where as the KUIU is only going to be 34\"/36\"/38\" etc.

I have the KUIU attack pants and they are a great with the 4 way stretch, breathability and side vent zips. They can get a bit warm for early archery seasons, but they are a great pant - probably my favorite followed by Sitka Ascents. My brother\'s bought the First Lite Corrugute Guide pant and love them as well, but all of these are pricey - especially compared to free.
I\'ve switched to merino wool boxers for the last 4 years and won\'t wear anything else for hunting - especially backpack hunting. They cut down the stink factor considerably and are very comfortable. I use both First Lite and Smartwool PhD\'s. I like the Smartwool a bit better, but both have been very good for me.

I got the Kuiu Teton pants for Christmas this year ... they\'re very comfortable, but I don\'t know how much I\'ll use them hunting ... they\'re fairly loud. Great for CC-skiing, though.
I have an older pair of the Attack pants, (and some BDUs, too, WW!) and ... I gotta say, the Kuius are a bit of a luxury, but they are very comfortable and durable. They are my \"go-to\" pants just about every night after work. A bit expensive? Sure ... and always follow my rule: \"Never pay retail\". The vents, the pockets, the material -- all good stuff. Necessary? Nope. Good old BDU pants would be more than adequate. Very good for the money, in fact. I have one friend who is ALWAYS in his BDUs. (I saw him in dress slacks recently -- for a renewal of vows -- and right afterward, it was back to BDUs. Some people love them.)

You can find wool rich merino wool boxer briefs at department stores for less than the hunting brands. I just bought a couple of pair for $8. I also got a pair of the Kuiu Teton pants for Christmas. They seem like they will be nice but for the money I would wear BDUs or ACUs.
