Noob Question From A Noob

[Geronibro]

What are the pants this fellow is wearing?

looks like it may be the Kuiu Yukon rain pant to me? Can't tell if his has full length zippers though to know for sure. Something similar to this, anyway. Sitka Timberline pant also is similar to this design, obviously it is NOT waterproof though. But, it does have the reinforced knees and butt, along with knee pads.

+1 based on the rest of his outfit bring kuiu I’d guess his pants are too.

I’ve looked at both of those pants and I’m thinking they might be the KUIU’s. I’m not 100% though, and my OCD really needs me to find out for sure. Like I’m losing sleep over these pants.

I would say they are Sitka Timberlines. I think they used to make them in olive. The squared off knees and butt in same gray, plus the pocket on the left leg.

That’s what I’m thinking! They look so much like Timberlines but the only solid color I see online is that darker grey color. I didn’t know they used to offer them in other colors.

Agree...certainly they are not the KUIU's...the hem lines and knee pad geometry are wrong.

OP, why don't you just send him a DM on Insta? @shedcrazy

 

[Geronibro]

Hell I’m gonna reach out to him right now. Thanks for the tip!
I’m new around here. I don’t know nothin’.

I have kuiu pants with leg zippers just like that though! With the flap hanging over the zipper

95% sure those are NOT Sitka Timberlines based on the knee pad fabric transition to the rest of the pant. Sitka uses a really aggressive/raised seam...the transition there is pretty seamless. Timberlines also have a second vertical zipper running down the inner part of the cargo pocket, and the cargo pocket is a snap closure...not a zipper. Either way, both great manufacturers, if you are looking to buy just flip a coin and i am sure you will be happy.

Man. I’m obsessed with these pants LOL. It really shouldn’t matter but for some reason I my gear-obsessed brain needs to know. I reached out to him on Instagram. If he responds I’ll post the info here.

 

[Geronibro]

Well heck. @shedcrazy got back to me. It isn’t him in the pic LOL. The saga continues…

kuiu talus hybrid pant, they had a few solid colors which would have the contrasting waterproof seat material which is what originally had me thinking sitka timberline. Also the integrated knee pad and cargo pocket are very kuiu ish. https://www.kuiu.com/products/talus-hybrid-pant-valo-camouflage?variant=40340192100510

I agree. I have the Talus Hybrid and the Yukon (same color even). These are the Talus, check out the pocket.

So the ones in the pic are an older version of the ones currently made by KUIU? If so, maybe I can find some used.

Thanks man! I’m gonna start looking online for an older pair like these.

Yeah, I actually just looked at their site. I guess they are only making the Talus’s in the 3 camo patterns now. I got mine a few years ago and they offered solids at that time. They are a good pant for snow and light rain. I wear them 90% of the fall in MT. Full blown wet, rain and brush… you want the Yukons.

Sometimes they won’t show a color option when out of stock or changing the color. Also throws it off with the gaiters as the talus has a wp material down the shins.

That definitely looks like them! Thank you!
