damn good find!

I like them, really comfy. The darker (black/black pepper) ones don't show his name on either like the others.

No. It's resistant, but not proof.

This place is also excellent for BG oshuffles feet and whistles - I also like the trousers a lot) and other stuff - very quick delivery. No connection etc:

I've ordered from them before, and had fantastic service (I got a load of 5.11 gear)
And I've just ordered again.

If they're anything like the old BG trousers, the black patches at the knee and seat are water resistant stretch fabric.
They dry very quickly.
The cut and stretch panels give excellent freedom of movement.
If you can get past the BG branding, they're brilliant trousers.

I've always fancied a pair of these despite the obvious flaw, I've picked them up a few times in Go Outdoors but never fancied the £70 price tag.

I'll probably treat myself to some if there's any left come pay day.

I have the Black/Pepper version of these trousers and they do have the bear grylls name on the left hand side leg pocket.

His names all over the rest of the trousers too if you look hard enough lol.

All i can say is, get some whilst you can. The stretch material is really great. You hardlies know you are wearing them. They also have a little dry pack, located in the left hand side pocket, 100% water proof, for keeping your mobile in if needed.

If anyones interested i'll get some pics of them up and answer any questions ect.


Cheers guys.

Marked for interest. ( I really couldn't give a stuff whose name is on the side as long as its a good bit of kit. )

True, but it's dark writing on a dark background and you can't see it unless you really look.

 

[UltimateSurvivor]

That's true for one part The other areas have his name in black writing over an orange background, like on the belt loops.

I still think they are some of the best trousers you can get for outdoor use, regardless of branding.

Regards.

I have some of these already and have ordered more -- size wise I think they are on the slightly small size - I'm normally a 36 waist - the 36 BG trousers are, erm, quite tight! My other Craghoppers trousers are also 36 and fit with room to spare so who knows who sets the sizes at Craghoppers

Just purchased two pairs. God help my PayPal account

Bugger, they've sold all the 34"s already ?

[MSkiba]

ahh bugger now I wish I got the 36's. Im sure I will be able to send them back if they dont fit. (or will I?)
