New type c trousers

[billpierce]

My arbortec breatheflex are coming to the end of their life- can't sew them up any more times. 

Any climbets up for recommending decent stretchy long lasting trousers? The solidurs anygood? Not too happy about them Being 300 quid these days

[manco]

cue a long list of people each swearing by a different pair of trousers and marvelling at how long they lasted

most are about 300 quid these days

I'm in pfanners and in long leg they are sadly quite a bit north of 300 quid. Chris Forestry do patches, I've had to patch over the patches on mine as wore through but I'll keep going while I can.

 

He's currently got the Solidur in hivis at £110 or comfy £150, worth a punt at that price even if they end up as a spare pair when the others are wet.

I have solidurs.. 

Unsure which, not the climber ones.

Mine are front protection only and no issues using them for climbing.

Mine have huge vents down the back of the thigh. The comfiest trouser I've owned by some way

Yes. You can lunge, squat and twerk in them without hindrance.

Also lined with a very nice wicking fabric.

I'm a medium in these as well as other brands. They are French so made for European size people rather than Americans where a XS seems to be a large anyhwre else 🤔 

 

 

This is the ones.

The only thing I didn't like was the yellow tool pocket on the side of the thigh it's just a saw dust trap. I unpicked the stitching and done away with it which was a good choice.

 

Also just noticed they are type A not C. None the less they are by far the best trousers I've tried vs sips & stihls. Also a sensible price

These also seem good if your into more protective. Rated type A but have all round calf protection which makes more sense to me then rear protection all up the back of your thigh.

 

I've not tried these though and they haven't got the huge vents.
