Stika & KUIU Pants - Waterproof ?

[Winchester]

Hey guys,
In the "Game Changing Gear" Thread folks are talking about buying KUIU Attack Pants and Sitka Timberline Pants.
I didn't want to hijack that tread so I'll ask here ...
I know those aren't "rain pants" but are they water-resistant at all?
Thx.

Yes, they are DWR coated I believe. Need to reapply every so often though.

The Sitka seat and knees are. The rest is not but like Scott said it can be treated.

Thanks guys, appreciate the info.

Sitka seat and knees are actually water proof. The rest has a DWR, but wears out with washing.

I have a couple pair of the Kuiu Attack pants. I really like them, but if it is raining, you are going to have wet pants. Fortunately, they dry quickly.

Just for clarity sake, and I'm sure most of you know this, but DWR= Durable Water Repellant.

Thanks Scott
