Cosd Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Ripped my hide trousers getting over barbed wire retrieving a bird, but can't complain as my £10 camo combats did me well for 3 years which I bought from Madhouse jean shop. Looking now at maybe a plain and smarter green pair. What do you recomend? Quite like the Bear Grylls Craghoppers if they do them in green.

Beardo Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 i like plain green craghoppers for the warmer months. TK Maxx often have them cheap (or equivalents) £25 or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 No complaints from me... I wear them all year round for both rifle and shotgun shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb79 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I like the Craghoppers too. Often get them at a good price from Warwickshire Clothing when they're at various game fairs. They also sell online if you google them. Last I looked the plain kiwi trousers were £25 and £35 for the lined ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 take a boy scout to Milets and get 10% off at £20 per pair. I wear them all year round, and have them in all colours. very comfy, with good pockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 They are great, but the stitching in the crotch could be a bit stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Costco has got them at £18 Thanks for that Nick, I've got a CostCo account, I usually go to the one up Lee Valley so I'll have a look there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Just found these in khaki if anyone is interested, seems like a very good price too: http://www.marshallleisure.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=147441&cPath=69#custom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 They look quite nice and a good price, shame they don't have them in my size! If your looking for something a bit Piaget - ie waterproof take a look at the Stealth Gear Extreme photographers trouser - Neil has a pair and they're great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted July 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Bought a pair of non-lined Craghoppers from TK-Max for £19.99 in khaki, very comfy and though a reasonably close fit which I prefer, allow for good movement and don't feel like they are being stretched around the knees and **** when kneeling, bending etc. It rained first time I wore them and water just beaded and rolled off them and dried pretty quickly when it stopped raining. Impressed so far and they look smart which is what I wanted, so will see how I get on with them over the summer and may get a lined pair too for the winter. Good value I reckon, here's a link if anyone is interested. http://www.craghoppers.com/buy/classic-kiwi-trousers-long-length-132051 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliebrown Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 i'll second that, nothing worst than a extra draft when your out and about happened to both pairs of mine I will add a third agreement to that. Every pair ive had have gone in the same place, just below the fly split as far as the seam two inches below it. They are dead comfy though, and a bit of a cooling breeze in the summer is no bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted July 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 i'll second that, nothing worst than a extra draft when your out and about happened to both pairs of mine Thanks for that, I did take note of that comment, but since they come with a lifetime warranty I'm sure they would honour stitching coming apart! If not at £20 it isn't the end of the world. Maybe you guys are just too well endowed, my mr average 15 incher should be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickP Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 it the Russian Cossack dancing that does it Life time warranty, you say wasn't aware of that, no receipt though but worth asking when i'm next in the shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
