THREAD DREDGE
On the look out for a pair of bushy type trousers myself for a forthcoming adventure. I will be going to variously snowy and wet places, but spring will be breaking and I will have merino base, so don't need anything lined or too warm.
My basic question is this a lot of the recommendations herein (JP Countryman, Hoggs of Fife, Arborwear Treeclimbers) got me excited by new alternatives to Fjallraven and swedteam prices, however I see they are all 100% cotton - is this not a problem in wet weather with drying times?
Who has any of these trousers and how do they fare in conditions where it rains more than not? If its not an issues I may go for some countryman as i like the look and spec of them, in which case the hardshell version or the normal??
If not, I guess i'll go poly cotton with some 5.11 PDU or some M65s.
THANKS GANG
Go for the "normal " Countryman trousers - the hard shell are waterproof overtrousers
