Visited FR site to check out their outdoor trousers. I thought maybe 3 models but they have a huge range. They've listed a few uses and about 3 models per type of use but imho what does their differentiation really mean?
Just how different are the requirements for trekking compared to day hiking or multi day backpacking? Isn't trekking those holidays you pay a lot for where someone guides your group and they have people carrying your overnight load for you? But FR has trekking trousers as highly specced.
I basically go for walks in all weathers. Cold I layer up with long johns. If warmer I'm likely in shorts anyway. I reckon their whole range of trousers would suit me most of the time I'd need trousers with the exception of insulated or lined trousers which I know don't suit my use.
Can anyone tell me the best trousers to wear when I'm wearing trousers in say the Lakeland falls all year round plus valley camping and other general times? I really don't know my providda from my keb!
