Get some Stretch airs. I've had mine going on two years and they're in way, way better nick than my hi flex were at 6 months.

hi flex. most comfy trouser i have worn. curently wearing sip freedoms and also have strech airs. neither compare to the hi flex in comfort.

[RobRainford]

i have stretch airs and hi flex, prefer the hi flex for all rounders, stretch airs are good when its cold and wet as they have a good coating on the fabric that repels the water, i sprayed mine with waterproofing you get for boots and it makes them last a bit longer before you get soaked through, same for the hiflex.

 

tom, invest in a good pair of boots, go for some haix boots, protector lights or blue ridge are the cheaper ones, i have the blue ridge and they were comfy from day 1. Need thick socks in them though.

 

Stuff like this, its all well and good saving money but you may regret it as it may fall apart or may not be as comfy as something else that was £20 extra.

Amen to that! Buy quaility buy once, buy cheap buy twice!

 

The Meindl Waldlaufer (means Wood Walker - if my German is up to scratch!) I have recently bought are absalutely brilliant, so much better than the Husky Wellies I had before, but more expensive. Good boots and a good bed, if your not in one your in yan other as my Grandad used to say.

 

As for troosers, I like my ForestWear Classics, but I dont climb - so thats not much use to you is it!
