Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I bought a pair of these trousers from Surplus and Adventure to wear in Sweden on the Woodlore Arctic course next Saturday - does anyone know if they can be sprayed with Fabsil or Nikwax to proof them a bit?
They seem very good gear; I know a lot of people have reported trouble dealing with this company, but I went along to their shop, and they couldn't have been more helpful or friendly.

I got mine today.
Really top condition kit, seems really warm...
but
... I'm EFB size, 6'3", 48+chest, 40 waist
I'd ordered XXL parka, XL trousers in line with their suggested sizing.
This said:
Chest sizes: 48-50 116-120cm XXL;
Waist sizes: 40-42 100-104 XL
Now what I got was:
Trousers 190-75 which I make 6'2" - 29.5 waist....[I cant remember a 30 waist even when I was at school, which was over 30 years ago]
Parka 170-95 again, about 5'7" - 37" waist Now OK, the waist is closish [but more of an L than an XL from the chart, but the height? Must be 35 years + since I was 57!]
I rang them up and a nice guy there agreed that seemed to be a bit of a problem; I've posted them back today, and I'll see if we get a tad closer next time

Point, I suppose is that I bought against they sizes they suggest...
and I doubt any Xl/XXL would be around 75kg
Hi
my one is 180 X 75
works out at 5'9"X11.7 stone. I am 5'8" x 12.00 stone so my one is just a touch long. If its dark and cold outside I can live with that. SWMBO says "you look like a refugee " Wonder what she means

Adrian, you can use Nikwax on these trousers. I'm not sure how it will
perform in winter Arctic temperatures though. Perhaps you could take a
spray with you and ask when you get there...
