Are they noisy?I have them and thus far have absolutely loved them! They're my first stone glacier pants so I don't have a comparison to the regulars, but I was slightly surprised with how heavy the "lite" version was. I've uses obsidians and zions the last few seasons, and I can say that these are heavier but worth the weight. The dwr works well, I love the hip zips and adjustable zipper system. I'm not a huge fan of only the belt and zipper, no button, but I can get over it. They're very comfy, stretch well, and I really like the pocket layout. All in all, a fantastic pant so far!
Yes, very noisy in my opinion. It's hard to quantify, but, maybe 25% noisyer than my zions? Give or take. If dead silence is a must have for you, there are better pants on the market for sure. My kuiu Kutana were significantly quieter, as are my obsidians. I do think I like these better, because of the ease of stretching while hiking and the stratum system. But it's a close competition for sureAre they noisy?
Noisier than a Sitka mountain pant? Would love a pant that was like a solid color apex...I had some and sent them back. Great fit, big fan of the built in belt but damn they’re noisy. Not an issue for later in the season but I planned on using them in September while hunting with a recurve.

Not sure on that but they were approaching the rain pant level of noise. If you want something In The same realm as the apex and in a solid, check out kuiu katana.Noisier than a Sitka mountain pant? Would love a pant that was like a solid color apex...
They will never be as quiet as the KUIU pro/attack. I have the Pro, the DH and the DH lite. All have their place. If it's archery, it's the kuiu pro for the fabric and built in knee pads.I just received these DH Lite pants. They fit great without any alteration. So that is a win over my favorite Kuiu pants. However, they are "piss your hunting partner off noisy". Does anyone one know if they will become more quiet with time, use, and washes?
