Corrugate Foundry Pant Vs 308 PantsUpdated 23 days ago

Both the Corrugate Foundry and 308 Pants are designed with hunters and serious outdoorsmen in mind—but they’re built to serve different needs depending on your hunting style, terrain, and the conditions you expect to face.

Here’s how they stack up so you can pick the right tool for the job.


Corrugate Foundry: Rugged, Reinforced, Ready for Anything

If you need a workhorse pant built for rugged terrain and unpredictable conditions, the Corrugate Foundry is up for the challenge. Made from durable nylon, these pants feature reinforced knees and seat to withstand crawling, climbing, and rough country. They also come with integrated knee pads, a major bonus for spot-and-stalk hunters, saddle hunters, or anyone spending time on their knees in the field.

The Foundry is a versatile mid to late-season option, built to handle shifting temps and mixed conditions. It’s not the quietest pant in our lineup, but it’s tough, warm, and made to last.

Best For:

  • Mid to late-season hunts

  • Rugged or rocky terrain

  • Hunters who need durability and knee protection


308 Pants: Silent, Streamlined, and Built for the Bowhunter

On the flip side, the 308 Pants are built for comfort and stealth. Constructed from a 4-way stretch polyester, they offer an incredibly quiet, flexible fit that’s perfect for early to mid-season archery hunts or situations where silence is your greatest asset.

With mesh-lined hip vents, they breathe exceptionally well—keeping you cool when the heat’s up or when you’re putting in miles. The straight-leg fit cuts down on bulk and wear points while still giving you full mobility.

And as a bonus, the 308s are a more budget-friendly option, making them a great pick if you're looking for performance without breaking the bank.

Best For:

  • Early to mid-season hunts

  • Archery or still hunting

  • Hunters prioritizing stealth and comfort


The Bottom Line

  • Choose the Corrugate Foundry if you’re tackling tough terrain, hunting late in the season, or need maximum durability and reinforced protection.

  • Go with the 308 Pants if you want something quieter, lighter, and cooler, especially for archery or early season pursuits.

Both pants deliver reliable performance—you just need to decide which one best fits your style and the season ahead.
