There are many mixed reviews about Bear Grylls Survivor Trousers knocking around, but in truth anyone who has worn a pair will tell you that they are great! Really comfy and very tough. The strtech panels in the knees are a pure genius feature!
I apologise if there are different versions, but my pair failed instantly and ongoing. The trousers were bought from Blacks Oxford Circus.
1)
The waterproof pocket velcro came lose in a sticky mess straight away. Binned. OK, they are still working but less well.
2)
Zip fails on right-hand pocket. It sort of recovers, but I now don't trust it.
3)
First button on waist-tie is now coming loose.
Yes, I like the stretchy panels, but everything else is ****. And I don't mean a little, like a lemon. No, Bear himself would be an utter fool to rely on these.....

I have just bought the Bear gryll's craghopper trousers from TkMAX for £35. they felt comfy in the changing rooms.
On the way home on the train I was looking at them and decided I hated the name in orange on the right side pocket. It was only printed on in rubber latex so in between Mile end and Temple I scratched it off with my thumb nail. It came off very nicley and came off altoghether in 15 mins.
the only other place the name is on a small belt loop ( hardly noticable ) and inside the trouser. Now i can wear these trousers with pride and not feel like a fool for advertising Bear rylls or feel like an ActionMan!.
Once soaked in permethrin I think they will do very well in India!

I have seen these in TK Maxx with the orange print but the other four pairs i have from the Craghoppers shop have been printed in black. The ones i have are first class, i did catch the stitching once which came undone but ran over with the maching and now perfect again.
Really comfy and quick drying. Not keen on the new stretch models.

Bought a couple of pairs when they first came out For £55 best buy I have had. Great lightweight hardwearing trousers used on hillwalks and general use. Never bothered what other people think of me with the Bear Grylls logo, as long as I am happy with them.
I got two pairs of these one in stone one in olive green from TK Maxx just after xmas got two for £50 I think that was a great buy, they are really comfy to wear I couldn't believe how lightweight they are and how small they pack down.
