Having always been a bit of a Wallace rather than a Grommit - I always seem to be getting "The Wrong Trousers". This time, however I believe I have got it just right. The hefty price tag is a bit off-putting but having had them just over 3 weeks I am starting to think they are worth every penny. Loose-fitting, they provide plenty of flexibility of movement, without losing any shape or appearing baggy. The fabric feels reassuringly strong and durable, without the heaviness I usually associate with those qualities. Plenty of storage space for essentials in a sensible number of pockets without the all-too-common style of so many pockets you lose things in them! Strong in the areas where it counts. If it's important to you, they are also stylish enough to be worn off the hills without looking like you are just about to go! I want another pair. That's how good they are.
