Im looking for some new trousers and was wondering what people on here used, Id prefer to stay away from denim. I dont want to have to take a 10 year payment plan to pay for them either (fjallraven).
Even if you're flush I'd avoid Fjallraven, their quality has gone down hill in the last few years IMHO
On a budget you can't go far wrong with a pair of army lightweights or Craghoppers, the pockets wear out in no time and you might get a few loose stitches with the Crags though. The winter Kiwis with the lining are really nice for days in the cold
I have to disagree there I'm afraid. I got a pair of Fjallraven Greenland Pros this year and they are superb and have stood up to a thorough battering and are great! Maybe I got lucky but my pair are brilliant .

Compared to what they used to be like I don't think they're value for money any more, the current G1000 feels like tissue paper compared to the older fabric. I have pairs I can compare side by side and the difference in fabric is very noticeable. I've caught and ripped both leg pockets now on a pair of 3 year old Karl trousers, just bushwhacking in the woods, and my 3 year old Greenlands have split and torn in the crotch. Despite that my faded old Barents are still going strong, although they look tired the fabric is still holding up fine.
I'd like to see the new G1000 HD fabric, it sounds like it might be similar quality to the older fabric, it's just a shame about the price. But if I was going to spend £170 on a pair of trousers I'd probably go for Klattermusens or two pairs of Haglofs
Football terrace fashion driven now, and their prices reflect that.
Fair enough, I didn't have to pay the full price for mine though, parent cover
Well that's a win win situation either way you look at it
Thanks for all the help, Im only looking to spend around £30-£50 maybe a bit more The jack pykes look fairly perfect do you know if they are water proof and whether or not the knee pads in them are real unlike the BG's ones?
