Sitka archery september pant ???

[NEWYORKHILLBILLY]

I looking at one pair of sitka pants to cover September archery hunting . mostly under 10,000 feet. I have it down to the apex or mountain.
I like the mountain for the durability and pockets. I like the apex for weight and quietness . all my hunting will be September archery from 4000-10,000 both antelope and mule deer and elk .

some of you that have experience with both what do you think? I thinking the mountain they look like they last for years. But am concerned about them being to warm and heavy.

I also looked at the traverse and ascent ,But i feel there noisy for spot and stalk hunting

I really love my apex pants for whatever that’s worth.

For what you are describing I'd definitely go with the Apex pants. For spot and stalk hunting Apex are for sure the best Sitka pant. The Mountain pants are really nice, and probably not to warm in the mountains in September but I'd probably go with the Apex.

ascent or apex
mountain is much warmer

As others have said, go with the apex!

The Ascent is my favorite Sept hunting pants.

For Sitka pants I really like my Ascents. For colder temps I like the Timberlines.

Really like the First Lite Corrugates also.

Traverse is definitely worth a look. They are basically the same as some older versions of the ascents (2010-2015?) which are among my favorites

Hot weather/ early Sept: Ascent/Apex
Late Sept/Cold weather: Timberline/Mountain

For a bit of a do it all pant consider the new Traverse pant.

Thanks for the input . I ended up going with the apex, pant. These just seem to be the only quiet pant sitka makes . I do wish they has a zipper pocket , I figure I can put a base layer under them for late September.We will see how they hold up. I am sure the mountain would last longer but there twice the weight of the apex.

I like my apex pant. It just enough fabric to keep you worm in the mornings but not to much fabric to over heat you in the mid day. Comes with removable knee pads and has a DWR finish to help keep you dry.

How do they compare to traverse pants?

I have the ascent and timberlines but it’s my mountain pants that I wear mid to late September elk hunting.

The Traverse pants are crazy similar the big difference is that they don't have knee pads and they are a little different cut.

I hunt in central Montana (7500-9500 ft) and wear nothing but timberlines in September. 39 deg. Mornings to 75 deg. Afternoons

For me, Apex for cooler, Ascent was my go to for warmer weather, but I’m kinda digging the new Traverse. Own the Mountain pants, but they’re my cold weather/less walking pants. Hardly use knee pads, so the Traverse fabric really seems to be quieter than the Ascent (not as quiet as Apex), but they feel lighter to walk in compared to the mountains and dry a lot faster.

These traverse pants seem like a perfect later archery/ early rifle pant that you could toss a base layer or puffy pants on and go until timberlines.

Love my Ascents. With a good base layer I can hunt from warm to pretty cold.
