bear grylls trousers

[army-surplus]

just bought my first pair of bear grylls trousers never had a pair and very weary about buying them but actually quite comfortable. But will be canoeing on friday so will be put to the test then.

has anyone had any issues with a pair?

Which ones have you bought. The Survivor trousers come in two models, the stretch or loose fit.
I have four pairs of the loose fit and still on the first ones I bought three and half years ago.
I love em and wear them almost all the time.

I've got a couple of the zip necked fleeces with stretch panels which I like & wear often (did today in fact!)

Got some survivor trousers which I like a lot; had them for ages. got a few spark holes in them from fires, but have successfully patched with iron on patches and they're fine (wearing them right now in fact!). You have to watch the waist sizing though, as the fit is not generous (if in doubt, go for a bigger size).

Also got a long sleeved base layer which is OK, though sleeves are long for me (& I'm 'normal' size). I just wear it for running and it's OK.

Oh dear - I sound like a right BG saddo. I promise I'm not!

I trialled 2 Pairs

I think they were the survivor, i had to send them back so i cant check (with the stretchy knees and crotch)
They did come up small (at least 2'') so you will need to go a size bigger.
The 'Waterproof pouch' in the thigh pocket is a waste of time as the velcro' s glue was poor so it meant the velcro actually pulled off.

Comfy as hell and were even cleaned using a scrubbing brush without to much bobbling.

They promised that the production run would be better, but im led to believe they still come up small

thank you for the comments i may try some of the other clothing as they actually work well!! the canoe trip went well and they held great even in the rain showers so impressed especially as i usually go by ex army clothing.

I also have a pair of survivor pants... excellent quick drying and lightweight. Only criticism would be small sizing and a bit tight on the waist.. or maybe thats just me
