I bought the kanab 2.0 pants in September for my elk hunt. I loved them. Got home and put them through the wash, and I don't recall putting them through the dryer but the gf might have. Anyways they shrunk pretty good and I looked pretty hip out in the field with my new skinny kanabs 2.0 I've washed them once since then without the dryer, and they shrunk again to the point of unusable. Also I ripped the hip pocket stitching but it could have been from a antler going through not sure.
Anyways, when they were new and functional best pant I've owned, first lite says they will warranty so I'll try them again, bit obviously I wasn't impressed.
I like my Kanab pants. I was a little disappointed in how light they were, and probably would not have chosen them at the time I bought them, had I the opportunity to see them in person.
They are a fine early to mid season pant, however.
First lite is excellent. My collection is slowly growing.Zero complaints with anything I own.
I have been using Icebreaker for a first layer and love them, bought a pair of IB field pants and so far so good. Great pants of early to mod season, wear well and move with you.

I see that they have a new set of pants out that incorporate softshell and merino wool.

If FL is as good or better than the IC stuff, I will be taking a look at it.

I like the chama hoody, I also have a fair collection of ice breaker and have found it to be the strongest so far.
Ice breaker has a sale on now with some good prices.
Smart wool has worn out the quickest for me.
Ibex has been fairly good
Trying a helly Hansen and a arcteryx wool shirt this year to see how they stand up the sales person said they
are both strong so will see.
Is there a store in BC (better yet, on the island) that sells this stuff? I'm a tall skinny guy and I'd like to try stuff on before flinging money at it.
The only thing I like as much as trucks, is guns.
I have the
Chama Hoody
Llano Tee
North branch pants
Grizzly gloves
Chama hoody is one of my favourite pieces and north branch pants are pretty good during cold weather
too unshrink wool clothing..,. Hand wash with hair conditioner you have in the bathroom. Let it set in for 30 min... then rinse. Lay flat to air dry on towels and gently pull and stretch the garment into shape every half hour or so.
The conditioner releases the wool fibers.
I resurrected a few pieces my wife shrunk.
google it.... or YouTube search it.
