'GOOD LIGHT TROUSERS, BUT LONG LEG LENGTHS'

Strengths:
light and comfortable

Weaknesses:
grey with black knee patches (grimace)

Overall:
Excellent light trousers with stretchy knee patches. The leg length is very long (well, for short legs like me). The mid calf length models came down to my ankles, so I got the full length ones and had about 3 inches cut off. Comfortable and hard wearing. Medium cut rather than being close fitting or really baggy, but I find them excellent in hot weather and okay in cooler. The grey/grey option shown in the picture or black/black option would have been better than the grey with black knee patches I had to get, but that's my only serious complaint. Pockets are a bit small, but how many people put much into a trouser pocket when walking? Zip off easily and the resulting "shorts" look like shorts.
