What's your favorite type A trousers??

[Lorry thompson]

I want some type A trousers for the summer preferably the cooler (temperature wise) the better:) any suggestions much appreciated.

I used to really like the Husky Pro lights but they must ahve stopped making them. Quite an old style but quite light and airy and really hard wearing.

 

Just bought a pair of the husky technical type A's with the zipped vents in the back and after a week of wearing them in the wood they don't look like they'll last very long - the stretchy material has bits pulled already and the stitching across the knees is taking a beating. The vents are good, but because they are quite a close fittign trouser, the fronts of the legs are still quite warm, certainly no cooler than the old pro lights, but the vents do seem to help keep your nuts cooler

 

All in all though I'm quite dissappointed and have a feeling they will be going back under warranty very soon

Mine have lasted very well in the woods. Only thing wrong with them is where i melted the material with a 372 exhaust dressing out some larch.

No problem as long as its identified on RA.

i only ask coz a work colleague had a bit of kickback the other day and caught the back of his pants in the calf area, saw was on the wind down and the pants did the job as they were C's but if they had of been A's, well... a nasty cut me thinks?

Surprised; ours are holding up as well as any other in the woods; ragging them through bramble, and 6' high brash etc. With Husky A's you are supposed to order the size bigger than you would normally - I didn't and 2 days later re-ordered 2xthe bigger size; much better.

Tree Beard off here was wearing some cool looking billies today - v similar to the Husky A's with rear vents etc and cool. Can't remember what they were called tho - some double barrelled German brand - £120.
