  1. so ive been wearing these oregon trousers, kindly sent by les for a few weeks now. my initial impression was that i didnt like the look of them, the orangey/pink tops of the pockets as a standout dislike for me and i wasnt much of a fan of the tougher material on the thigh or the way the tougher material around the bottom of the legs makes them sit funny. they do seem to be a bit of a strange fit as well. however they do seem to be wearing quite well. theyve sufferd various envrironments of abuse from disgusting conifer hedge topping to koala type climbing tall skinny reductions. but they do seem a little on the warm side though and a phone pocket would be good imo they arnt in the same league as stretchair but i dont think they are trying to be. for a cheaper budget i think these trousers may be value for money!!!!
