Best bushcraft trousers?

I'm well experienced in backpacking but new to bush crafting.
Most of my gear is solid, not UL, though I am trying to buy more and more high end UL gear for prolonged backpacking.
On the other side, I also need more robust gear for Busch crafting... right?
So I was wondering, cost aside, what are the best bush crafting trousers... brands and models?
It's easy to see most people use Fjällräven.
I'm unfamiliar with them.
Tried a few of their trousers a few times in shops and they always felt quite uncomfortable.
I don't know if it's me or whether they just aren't as comfortable in comparison to other brands.
I have a lot of gear. A lot! Yet, trousers have never been a priority because they never seemed important.
In 2011 I bought a pair of The North Face, that, if to be honest, are just about the only trousers I ever use and they still look new.
I have another pair that are thin and cost me a tenner.
That's it!
However, neither has the extra layer that protects your knees, etc.
A few brands I looked into and considered are: Buffalo, Carinthia, Lundhags, Arktis, Ridgeline, Pinewood.
Would love to hear more from experienced bush crafters who have exact models in mind and not merely name brands.
Cheers.
I use revolution race awesome trousers and the jackets are great too
 
I wear decent leggings of various types.... being an older rotund female, branded "bushcraft" trousers not a realistic option.

Various configurations and fabrics..... cotton vs synthetic, length to just below knee, full length or a pair of Corinne Dennis fleece lined cycle leggings (no seat padding) in cold weather.

The ease of drying out and comfort more than offsets the lack of pockets. Even the M&S ones I favour are a sensible price. They are forgiving of thorns although horseflies can still bite through them....
