Trousers

[Thesnarlingbadger]

I mostly climb with them. Stihl xfit are pricey aswel would you say they are better than the hiflex?? Don't know weather to just stick with hi flex or change lol

 

 

I'd say they are on a par, but it's all down to personal preference. Again with the class 1/2 with the hi-flex all preference but the class 2 are a little more robust. If I were you, try and get to a shop even if it's a little out of the way and try on a few pairs, or if you can hold out till an arb show (probably not seeing as your asking now) try on a load there.

Hope your happy with whatever you pick.

Yeah think your right buddy gonna stick with what I know. Do most people use class 1?

 

If ur climbing i recommend type c trousers,all round protection.

Let us know how u get on,and the snarlinbadgers got a good point-arb shows are great for picking up stuff that wee bit cheaper.

Ive never split type c's on the crutch area but have split x2 pairs of a's there recently!

 

Im sticking with c's

 

I did like sip freedom c's but they were a bit heavy and if you burnt them on exhaust etc they just went brittle and rip for fun being a nylon type base?

 

I need some pants soom too

You've answered your own question really,you like hiflex,they last well so get wot u know.Check ebay fr decent prices on hiflex,i see lots of them goin at reasonable prices

 

 

You're the first person I've heard saying HiFlex last well! They fall apart at the sight of a tree!

 

Fwiw I recommend the Breatheflex. I find them very comfy, and plenty tough. Many others seem to rate them too.

 

I've heard good things about the Kriegers too.

Does everyone also think that pants have gone stupid in price?

 

Sure i could get some for 150 quid when i last bought some, most are 200 quid odd
