Check out Forloh.
100% US made.
Got pants and a softshell jacket last year and am very happy.
Have used First Lite, Sitka, and KUIU a lot too, as well as several of the major outdoor brands (arcteryx, patagonia, marmot, OR, north face)
The Forloh pants have features I like a lot, though will say an extra knee pad pocket inside in case I wanted them would be nice.
Wool is your friend warm temps, keeps stink to a minimum vs synthetic.
I stick with Voormi mostly for this (US made and higher wool content than Duck Worth shirts) and am occasionally driven by great bargains on other brands.
Old Pendleton wool flannel over merino is awesome as well!
Price for a light wool hoodie (think sun and fishing weight) is $20 over KUIU made in some foreign land.
No fan of Smartwool, and their socks are on good sale on Sierra Trading Post ($13/pair) now.
Look at Point6, Farm to Feet, or Darn Tough for US made merino wool socks.
My point on wool base layers.
Recently spent 8 days in AK fishing and working around my friend’s cabin and property.
Wore a wool tshirt and Voormie Hoodie as needed for cool temps (40’s in the early AM fishing). 70’s and sweating a lot in my tshirt with a lot of activity from 9-6 every day.
Shirt had no BO odor on day 8.
Seriously only took 1 other tshirt (also wool) and a wool flannel for that trip.
Well, and rain gear.
Saves me a lot of space packing for trips.
Dries quick over a line or branch if needed and is warm if damp.
My $0.02 and worth what ya paid for it.
