I have a pair of the sips too Drew. Currently they have a big hole in the thigh where a hot chainsaw exhaust melted through them. Now whenever I am cutting up big stuff the hole fills up with sawdust and then mysteriously waits until I walk through the door at home before dumping the entire contents throughout the house. Hoping to shell out on a pair of stretch airs soon.

 

How do you climb in shorts and chaps Drew? It'd drive me up the wall having chaps flapping about all over the place. Glad to say that Autumn is finally kicking in here so cooling off nicely now.

so ive been wearing these oregon trousers, kindly sent by les for a few weeks now. my initial impression was that i didnt like the look of them, the orangey/pink tops of the pockets as a standout dislike for me and i wasnt much of a fan of the tougher material on the thigh or the way the tougher material around the bottom of the legs makes them sit funny. they do seem to be a bit of a strange fit as well.

 

however they do seem to be wearing quite well. theyve sufferd various envrironments of abuse from disgusting conifer hedge topping to koala type climbing tall skinny reductions.

 

but they do seem a little on the warm side though and a phone pocket would be good

 

 

imo they arnt in the same league as stretchair but i dont think they are trying to be. for a cheaper budget i think these trousers may be value for money!!!!

The trouble is, once you've worn Stretchair there's no going back to anything else.
