Which 'type A' Trousers?
I'm sure this comes up repeatedly so sorry.
My trousers are pretty much done and it's time for a new pair. I have worn Stihl HiFlex for a while now and they've been great, hard wearing, comfy etc. Maybe a bit heavy but it's what I'm used to. I climb alot but do my fair share of time on the ground. What would you suggest?? Thanks |

Engelbert Strauss trousers.
Had mine a month now and I love them... For £120 they're a bargain! They have a zip behind the knee for ventilation and they really do keep you cool. Also come in long length... Which is essential for me! :-)
