  • Our take on the First Lite Catalyst Foundry Pant

    The Catalyst Foundry Pant is First Lite's softshell hunting pant built around full-length side zips, so you can vent heat on a climb or pull them on over a base layer without removing boots. The 2-layer softshell is breathable and moisture wicking, and the rigid waistband holds a holster or pack belt without rolling. Hip vents with double zippers add airflow where hunters sweat most. It suits mountain and spot-and-stalk hunters who layer hard and move fast; against softer, stretchier hunting pants it trades give at the waist for durability and easy on-off, and owners note the fit runs true but the cut is trim through the seat and thighs.

    Questions and answers

    Do the side zips go all the way up?
    Yes. Full-length side zips run the length of each leg, so you can vent or pull the pants on over boots.
    Does the Catalyst Foundry Pant have stretch?
    No. The 2-layer softshell and the waistband are non-stretch, so size for your thighs and seat rather than expecting give.
    Is it waterproof?
    No. It is a breathable, moisture-wicking softshell that sheds light moisture and wind but will wet through in steady rain.
    How does it fit compared with other First Lite pants?
    It runs true to size but with a trimmer cut through the seat and thighs than stretchier First Lite models.
    What is the inseam length?
    The listed length is 35 inches, so check it against your usual hunting pant inseam before ordering.
    Can I wear it as an outer layer over base layers?
    Yes. The full side zips are made for pulling it on over a base layer or liner without removing boots.
