Girls, lets talk clothes.
I had a equipment shake down trip yesterday that showed up a few limitations in my kit, primarily with my trousers. Currently I am using a cheap pair of ladies trousers from decathlon that are very comfy. But, the moment the brambles or the nettles come out to play, things get uncomfortable.
So, I am on the look out for a new pair of trousers for outdoor use. My main requirements are:
- Pockets - Nothing stupid, one on each side that my phone won't fall out of. Beyond that I don't really need any more, I'll only fill them with things I forget about until after they come out the washing machine.
- Lightweight - I would like to use these when travelling, where I will need to carry more than 1 pair, weight in the pack is important.
- Quick drying - Self explanatory
- Nettle proof - Self explanatory
- Bramble resistant - I won't say proof on this one, I swear brambles are evolving stronger thorns...
- Price - I would rather not have to get another mortgage to buy them
- Ladies fit - My experiment with Men's fit trousers was not comfortable
- Not pink - It seems that outdoor kit companies can only make female fit kit in pink. Black, Khaki, Brown, all good. Pink or OD, less so.
Given that list, ladies, can you help?
Thanks
