You may also want to brush up on your understanding of fabrics and manufacturing, as your far from comparing apples with apples. The First Lite pants that are linked actually have a substantial amount of New Zealand merino in them, and how you can asses the "grade & design/cut" from a few images is beyond me and quite frankly laughable.
As we all know there's a few Asian country's that have been heavily investing in manufacturing facilities for a very long time, and now the best of those factories are by a mile the most sophisticated in the world, meaning much tighter quality control etc. This is why the big 3 high end brands (Kuiu, Sitka & First Lite) use their services, and have the economy of scale to choose the best factories to work with. Same can be said for where they purchase their fabrics... One thing is for sure... None of this involves the Ukraine.

I'm not even going to start picking holes in your product. Because that would be rude, and quite simply I don't have to as it's all fairly obvious.

So politely, pull your head in!

Why don't you pull your head in?

You think one watered down criticism on an online forum is going to ruin your sales? You've got the market share, and you've got plenty of satisfied customers (and there will be plenty more, I'm sure). Don't be so greedy.

Sarvo pay's forum fees (as an advertiser) and he's got a product that he believes will offer forum members a similar level of quality for much less. He's doing people a favor.

Furthermore, he's got plenty of experience in the clothing business. I'm sure he's had a fair whiff of the brand snobbery/loyalty and all the fairy dust that keeps this industry ticking along.

As for your magical clothing/fabrics - plenty of holes can be picked in them as well. Both figuratively and literally...
