Just wanted to provide a quick review of the Kuiu Katana pants. So far this season I've worn these pants on three hunts in AZ: one black bear hunt and two Coues whitetail hunts.
They worked well in all activities performed which include long periods of glassing as well as climbing mountains. They've handled temperatures from about 30* to the mid 90s just fine. With the exception of cholla, I've not gone out of my way to avoid anything while wearing them. After 11 days of hard use, they are not showing any signs of wear. This is in stark contrast to the Attacks which looked like Velcro after a single day of use on a desert bighorn sheep hunt.
My biggest surprise with these pants is their wind resistance. A couple of times this past weekend we were glassing in the low 40s with 15-25 fps winds for extended periods of time. My legs never got cold and I never felt the wind (once I closed the hip vents after the climb to our glassing spot).
