I did have a pair of the Oregon Waipoua, but only type A. They were OK, but they didn't stand the test of time very well, outer material ripped quite easily after a short while and the gusset went pretty quick (maybe should've got a bigger size?). I also found them pretty hot for type A's, despite vented material round the back.

 

All in all, its the usual complaints I have about saw trousers. I think the Oregon Fjordlands are better. Can't comment on the SIP's, almost had a pair once, but they weren't in stock in my size. I know a few folk who've used the Hi-Flex and they seem pretty durable.

I've had 2 pairs of the Oregons and I didn't like them, not enough stretch and tore easily.

I use Pfanner stretch air and Sip freedom both C's . Hi flex only lasted me 6 months , not very tough against brambles and jaggy branches .

Stretch Air's or Hi-flex type c class 1 (would buy x-fit but they are insane moneys!)

 

Only thing with Hi-flex is once the material softens up, chain snags and thorns etc can tear them

Stihl Dynamics seem good for me £100-120, fit me better than Hi-flex (crotch too low), very comfy, rear zip vents, good pockets, but I only wear em couple days a week.
