Long Lasting Robust Trousers

Iv been using the Stihl Hi-Flex for a fair few years now. Yes they are comfy and light but im sick to death of stitching them up. I need to buy some more trousers soon and would love ppl's views on the most robust trousers out there for climbers. A friend of mine has some Husqvarna's which look like they have a pretty tough outer material. So far they have impressed me the most. What trousers do you use? how do you rate them? :thumbup::thumbdown:

They last longer if you wear them under overalls, my Husqvarna trousers are years old. I reckon those chaps with Kevlar in them would be pretty tough, problem is a chainsaw will go straight through them. I know because I did a test with woven Kevlar, might as well have used damp tissue for all the chainsaw protection it offered.

i have some oregon advanced type c there heavy and pretty robust,not the best to climb in either realy.

i use sip freedom there the dogs in my oppinion light, comfy and pretty hard wearing ive got the freedom 1 had them a few years but they are well patched the freedom 2 there also good and will probably buy them again.

i do climb a fair bit so my oppinion is from a climbing point of view and not as a groundy :)
