New Trousers

[teresa green]

Now then lads, looking to buy new trousers and don't really want to get another pair of stihl hi flex. I manage to completely ruin a pair in under 6 months, sick to bits of repairing rips and my last pair have just melted away. Love them to work in, so comfortable and great for climbing but there just not up to the graft, what else is on offer that is comfortable and great for climbing?

Cheers

Tom

Yep Stretch Air type c's all the way.....

[not for sale sorry]

in the same boat mate. I have tried the not so strechy strech airs and did not find them that stretchy and found them a pain to climb in and the ZIP god lets not talk about that

I think i will be trying some out at fr jones show

Check these out, I've had a few different types and these are pretty good. Type 'A' and not your 'known' brand. they're ok IMO and I'm happy climbing in them.

Good grief, I'm not surprised they look like the bottom half of a clown suit.

 

Like the OP I too am considering a new pair of pants, and have also fallen out of love of the Stihl HiFlex . How when and why have Stihl dropped the ball on this, I liked and worn the HiFlex for a while now but my latest pair look as ragged as a tramps trousers (without the subtle hint of p!55 of course ) after less than a year. Quality control appears to have gone out the window.

 

So yeah, new trouser suggestions welcomed, apart from gigolo/clown pants and bloody Pfanner Stretch bloody Airs!

Oh no, it's like Groundhog day, again!

Have you searched for previous trouser threads? Some of them get really fiery.
