Overview
Dedicated mountain hunting pant built around First Lite’s standardized straight-leg 308 Fit. The 100% polyester fabric provides four-way mobility with quiet construction, while streamlined pockets and thigh zip vents keep the design functional without excess bulk. First Lite positions the pant for year-round mountain and field use, from early-season archery into cooler rifle-season conditions with layering.
WHAT MATTERS
Quiet 4-Way Stretch Construction
100% polyester construction is designed for quiet movement with four-way mobility, without relying on elastic or spandex.
Mesh Thigh Zip Vents
Low-profile mesh-backed thigh vents provide a way to dump heat while helping keep burrs off underlying baselayers.
Standardized Straight-Leg 308 Fit
First Lite's standardized 308 fit is streamlined, straight-legged, true to size, and offered across multiple waist and inseam combinations.
Five-Pocket Field Storage
Classic five-pocket layout includes a left front thigh security zip pocket, a right rear-leg carpenter security zip pocket, and a dedicated folding-knife pocket.
PFAS-Free DWR
First Lite specifies a PFAS-free durable water-repellent finish for the 308 Pant.

The Pant That Gets Grabbed Without Thinking
The First Lite 308 Pant is not the best pant for one specific job. Its strength is being quiet, comfortable, mobile, durable enough for brush, and versatile enough to become the default across mixed terrain and everyday use. That middle-ground versatility also has limits: it is not our first choice for hot early-season hunts or cold stationary sits without layering.
Versatility is the real strength — it covers enough situations well that it becomes the default choice.
Quiet, comfortable, and mobile enough for close woods, climbing, uneven terrain, and everyday wear.
Tough enough for brush, whips, and tight Northeast cover without feeling stiff or overbuilt.
