[david wood]

went and looked at stihl ones tonight - pity the dealer didnt have any my size - aka bloudy large!!!!!!

 

so he's going to order some in so i can try them, and also the husky dealer ordering in some of their technical ones so i can try. Stihl dealer seemed here way expensive so going to be looking online as well. Cheers for all your help guys.

are you portly or tall?

 

I am tall (6'4") and found the only real trousers to fit correctly are the stretch air + 7cm. I.e. Extra length in the leg. Had a couple of pairs... the first are into their 3rd year and the second pair are coming up to a couple of years old.

think portly sums it up best - am only 5 ft 8 so height aint a problem, just getting a pair that goes past large legs is a hassle. was the same getting waterproof trousers but finally got there with berghaus goretex ones - lovely!!

DO NOT BUY OREGON SUPER COMFORT if you would like more than a weeks use out of them before looking like a year old trousers. Recently got some to try out and regret big time buying these. one walk in the woods and a bramble will rip them up and if you have bonfires then don't go near.

 

The only good thing about them is the comfort aspect apart from that I now call them bosses site visit trousers. ie he can look good in them if he doesn't actually do any work in them.

The new SIP Type A Progress trousers are really popular with groundies. They've got a Teflon coated outer fabric providing water, dirt and oil resistance and have a 4 way stretch fabric for comfort. Don't know if anyone on here has them to pass comment, but the feedback so far has been good.

 

SIP Progress Trousers

Wow they look the bee-knees, and they even look very similar to the

stretchs. Someone must be watching arbtalk very closely:secruity:
