Pants!

[MSkiba]

Hi Guys,

Im desperate for some pants. Olive green prefebly but a dark colour, I love the BG ones and RM ones but unsure weather I can justify the money. I love lots of pockets, knee padding (or waterproofness) and big belt loops. I need to drop the camo look as I stand out from the crowd which defeats the function of camo.

Can anyone recommend any bushcraft pants? If the RM ones are really good I might just buy them but would love an alternative.

Ah you mean trousers! Doesn't...or hasn't Ray worn British Army green trousers?

Have a look at this review

Edit... just saw that the link Sandsnakes had doesn't work. These are the trousers he describes

Ray wears Fjallraven. I think most people would say they are expensive but worth every penny. He gets his pants from George.

Ray wears Fjallraven. ***snip*** He gets his pants from George.

what - George at ASDA?. and here was me thinking he'd get his pants from M&S like every other self-respecting man

Sorry I meant pants that RM sells, not wears.

mesquite those pants are amazing for the price, I think i will get a pair to try out!

I have a few pairs of Fjallraven and swear by them...but I also have a few pairs of these:

ACU ( Army Combat Uniform) is the US Armys replacement for the original BDU uniform.

2 Leg Cargo pockets (angled to give easier access and velcro closed)
2 small ankle pockets
2 hand warmer slash pockets
2 back pockets
Drawstring waist
Fixed belt loops
Drawstring leg ties
Pockets for knees pads (pads not included)
Coyote Brown.

£19.99 from http://www.sofmilitary.co.uk/military/index.asp

Great for messing about on scout camp, kneeling down (with the knee pads) to instruct fire lighting or axe etc.

I think they are the same. He seems to wear the Foresters. I like the Barents.

let us know how you get on with them - they certainly look like they'll do the job.....and I do like pockets!

Bit late now but Haglofs Rugged Mountain "pants" are also worth consideration if you want to avoid the military look

I'll second Simon on the Tru-Spec American combat pants, be they M65 style or the newer ACU style they're very comfortable and durable. these are the only ones i buy for airsoft as they can really take some punishment!
if you ring SOF they'll sort you out with proper sizing (including short, regular or long lengths)
