Clothing to hedge in

[born2trot]

As a college arb student I've never understood why the hiflex's are so popular other than for the reason that the equine girls like them I swear you could give them an evil look and they would rip, IMO they are poo and cost a lot of money for the stihl name!

 

The reason they are so popular are because they were the best by far at one time . They are so comfortable and stretchy for climbing they had no rival ( shocking pfanner stitching era ) . They do not rip easily at all unless the latest ones are of inferior quality to earlier editions or they are getting unnecessary abuse .

I just got a pair of type A oregon waipoua's delivered because of the heat and i can tell straight away they will be practically useless for climbing , very light but hardly any stretch .

I've had a pair of type A hiflex for 18 months or so, brilliant trousers. They've seen off countless brambles, thorns etc and only had to see a needle and thread for the first time last week.

 

Don't really know what all the fuss is about with regards to them tearing easily

Maybe its because stihl provide a patching kit with every pair

They do melt easily:sneaky2:
