These pants deserve both a 5 star and 2 star rating.
PROS: Perfect weight fabric-I can comfortably wear them (moving, not sedentary) at 20 degrees up to 80 degrees. Their cut and movement are perfect. Waist band is awesome, and comfortable with and without a pack. Pockets are functional. CONS: Fabric at inner thighs, for me where they rub, is very prone to pilling and warranty doesn't cover it. This happened to mine almost immediately. It resulted in holes that I have mended several times now. The wool fabric is also a little delicate, and I've repaired holes there, too. First Lite could fix this by changing the fabric choice or honoring their warranty. Purchased in 2021 and still wearing them.
I'll keep mending these for a long time because the fit is so good, but I wish I didn't have to.
Use case: hunting elk and deer in mountain terrain in Montana. 7-14 days/year, 30-100 miles per season.

Five star pair of pants only giving them a four star for two reasons but hear me out. My wife absolutely loves these pants they’re the only pair of women’s pants that we can find that not only fit her good and comfortably but also for early season hunts when it’s still pretty hot out she doesn’t completely overheat! The only reasons we’ll subtract a star is because one, it doesn’t have any side vents to dump heat fast like a lot of men’s pants do even of the same brand and full disclosure if you’re going to be putting miles on your boots and have some decent thighs you’ll more than likely wear holes by the inner thigh crotch area. My wife and I do a lot of hiking and she wore holes on both inner thigh’s up by the crotch area but DON’T let that stop you from buying these pants! We contacted first lite about it and they had a new pair to us 3 days after we shipped back the worn out pair and they also covered the shipping label to ship them back! They stand by their product and back up their warranty and the whole customer service experience when dealing with an actual person was great! (Cause everyone uses AI these days) we highly recommend these pants just be aware of the lack of vents (hint hint first lite) and be prepared to utilize the warranty but once again first lite was great with their customer service!

Inner thigh needs better reinforcement. No length options and the inner thigh wore out after 1 trip in the back country. I have purchased these pants before and did not have any major issues but my newest pair from 2025 had multiple holes. Constantly out of stock in XL so you can't even replace them. Now I am forced to try another brand.
