Craghoppers trousers

[Johnnyboy1971]

Found these on eBay. Was wondering if these are the same as the BG ones but without the price tag.

Where's the linky?

 

[Chambers]

I cant see it but just as a bit of info I have a few pairs of Craghopper Kiwi trousers, both zip off and non zip off and they are great

 

[JonathanD]

If you mean the Kiwi Venturer ones, then yes, these were the original Bear Grylls trousers before they branded them as such.

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

Good point well made.
Link now added.

 

[JonathanD]

Yeah, they are the original ones. I liked them more than the newer versions, plus the early ones didn't have Bear Grylls branding, which it looks like these are.

If they're good enough for Tier 1 UK SF, they're good enough for me.

Usually on sale somewhere and can also be found in Primark if you're quick. Both winter (lined) and summer trousers. Occasionally have zip-offs and stretch material but the basic Kiwis are still pretty good.

Yup these are unbranded BG pants.. Good price too, I've just invested in a couple of pairs !! Cheers for the link

Ordered mine last night. Just hope there ok. I wear the CH kiwis daily and there great. Would like something with a slightly more relaxed cut though to allow air circulation.

 

[maddave]

I think you'll be pleased with em Johnny. I prefer them over the kiwis

Same here, they are great comfortable trooseys.

they are pretty nice trousers, no got my size tho

 

[GoatBoy666]

I heard the BG ones were a bit on the small size, lotsa of people having to get the size above their normal.
Anyone know if thats true of this version???

 

[JonathanD]

They are not the same fit as the BG line and more true to the Kiwi sizes, so label accurate. The BG survivor jobs do run shorter and tighter than the rest of Craghoppers line. The material is also different to the lightweight BG survivor trousers and the black panels don't stretch like them either. I prefer them though to the BG ones as they are a thicker and warmer material, especially this time of year. The winter lined BG trousers are nice and on sale at the mo.

Just ordered a pair, fingers crossed I like them - don't have much luck with online clothes shopping!

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

Got mine and there ok but should have ordered the size bigger as I have put on a little timber recently.

Do the SAS really wear these? where did you read that? And never thought primark would carry them, i thought they only sell their own stuff? will need to go and check, thanks for the heads up.
