Legs and Bum!(is this allowed?) What do you wear?

Light weights do me - although I also like and wear craghopper kiwi trousers - anything poly/cotton generally works being reasonably tough and quick drying.

I have a pair of Mountain Hardware overtrousers that I don't wear because I can just see them getting ripped within seconds of getting out!

 

[BIG-TARGET]

A pair of surplus NYCO BDU pants, either woodland camo, or "coffee stain" desert camo.

And if it's real cold, a rare pair of XXXXL 100% nylon fleece sweat pants over the BDUs.

i've snagged up on barbed wire also when i've been out shooting imagine tearing the butt out of a £100 quid pair of paramo's :yikes:

The good thing about Paramo stuff is that because it doesn't rely on a waterproof membrane, you can snag it on thorns and it remains waterproof. If you tear it. it can be sewn up. Unlike G*****x

I believe that it's a case of "Horses for courses". I am a member of a search and rescue team so my kit demands for that situation are different to when I'm out in the woods. But I am definately a paramo convert :super:

I wear my trusty light weights

 

[KIMBOKO]

I 'm thinking breechclouts would be better.

I go for the short cotton karki shorts right up until I can no longer feel my legs through cold and then switch to the old brit army lightweights....but I have to agree about their lack of fire resistance...I once saw a guy with his melted onto his legs, it looked horrid but then he should have known better than to play football with a parachute flare!!!!
If you can hold out from the cold with shorts you'll do just fine, nothing in the world is as waterproof and breathable as our skin....speaking of skins...
Does anyone ever try to make leggings out of the skins from the bunnies and squirels you all seem to be shooting? ? ? I'm told buckskin leggings and shirts are ideal outdoor wear....sort of Tom Brown Jrn style!
