For about 5 years I’ve been using Kuhl Renegade (not the convertible) as my hiking pant of choice. They’ve worked out well, no complaints. I’m looking at trying another pant just to see what else is out there. Where I hike it is almost always wet, I’m under the canopy of trees (so wind is not a factor), it is thickly wooded like a boreal forest.
I’ve looked at two pants on the internet. The Prana Zion and First Lite Corrugate Guide pants. The Zion seems to have universal appeal and is probably akin to the Kuhl Renegade. The Corrugate Guide has a 4-way stretch and gets good reviews from the hunting crowd.
Any thoughts about these two and how they would compare and contrast?
