While we’re on assignment, our gear needs to perform in a range of conditions. What draws us to the First Lite Obsidian Merino Pants is their versatility. Whether wet, dry, hot or cold, these pants take advantage of merino wool’s many advantages while also integrating the durability of ripstop nylon. The proprietary fabric blend stretches with movement, providing absolute freedom to hunt and explore unencumbered.

For long days in the field, the pants have no UV signature and the natural properties of merino wool blocks odor-causing bacteria better than synthetic materials. If we need a versatile, dependable pant that’s ready for anything, we’re reaching for the Obsidian.
