These are brilliant!! I have just upgraded from Regatta Trousers and these are in a difffernet world although i do still like the Reggata's. Very comfy to the touch and excellent pocket arrangement with the ability to take an ordnance survey map and two zipped security pockets. Not been in a downpour yet that is why i have overtrousers.

I have used these for quite a few years and have found them to be almost perfect for British weather. They dry quickly. However, when soaked they take ages to dry. On their defence, they are not really designed for the amount of use/types of weather I have put them through.

Bought these back in Jan. and have found them the best walking trousers I have worn,very comfortable and the short leg length is just right for me.They have a good selection of pockets and the leg pockey will hold a map.They may not be the fastest drying after a shower of rain but they are not that bad and much superior than the old moleskins I wore a few years ago.In general a good all round pant at a reasonable price (very important to a Yorkshireman that last point)

Very comfy fit but not as easy to move in as some of my other trousers. Can dry from loight to moderate rain quick enough but anything on the heavy side leave them sodden for a while.

I've got a few pairs and the best are my non zip-offs. Very comfy, light and tough. I've done some hard scrambles in these and they are still in one piece and have offered good freedom of movement. The pockets are great and light rain just runs off (I use waterproofs if it gets heavier). I don't like the zip-offs for longer walks. Trousers are like faulse teeth, if they don't you they woun't fit.

I found these trousers to be awful. I found them baggy around the hips and to restricting around the ankles. I have worn them only a few times and found the more a nuisance.

The Trail review is spot on. A good quality trouser that is very comfortable, and can be bought in the right leg length. Have never really got them wet, as I always don the waterproofs in rain. Also good value, as they can be picked up fairly cheap, less than half RRP.
