stretch air trousers

[Dilz]

right, my old hi flex are nearly ready for being put in the rag pile, tempted to try out the stretch air after many years of the hi flex. Any one got any feed back on them? the gladiators appear to be class 2 im guessing they might get a bit toasty.....

[Tony.Price]

Yes they are warmer, but it is a bit colder for the next few months. They are a lot tougher as well. I hate the single line of stitching on the patches, getting quite good at sewing now though!

[Dilz]

nothing ventured nothing gained i guess....will probably switch back to type A's in the summer any way....

[Dilz]

would anyone recommend the gladiators over the standard arb type c's?

TAYLOR MADE try some on and you will know what i mean very different to other brands very comfortable

i love them and i had the hi flex a while ago, im on my second pair of stretch airs now, if you get the right size they are ace, only thing is the stitching is a lil annoying especially on the flys where alot of them seem to go, but saying that i have had no problem with the new pair, and your legs can move in them unlike those lycra hi flex's lol, i have not tryed the gladiators so i cant comment on them mate

gone from stretch Airs to Hi-flex and what a move, way more movement in hi-flex, especially lifting your leg up. but the stretch airs are warmer for winter. i use type A tho. But there is no harm in trying a, personal preference and all.

Check the other threads on trousers especially the recent Stein trouser thread.

 

I agree that Hiflex are more comfortable, however, you will find Sretch Airs last about 18 months instead of the 18 hours of the Hiflex

just gone from stretch airs to hi flex, stick with hi flex, the stretch airs are heavyer, if you get one little hole in them it turns into a Huuuuuuge hole within no time at all, you cant really stitch the material very well, the stitching in the crotch goes often as already said, and if you get the hi viz ones the hi viz strip at the bottom fall off in no time!
