Bear Grylls Men's Survivor Trouser by Craghoppers

Wow, just wow. The fabric of these pants are so light weight, and it dries super fast. The knees and all the stretch material I'll be honest I was really worried about. It feels so thin and stretchy. I've read other reviews of poor stitching on the crotch and seem areas and I noticed mine hade what look like a loose stitching in it. However wash it before you go out. It seem to make the stitching shrink and sucre it to the pants, if that makes and sense. These pant however ended up taking a bit more abuse the first time I went out than I expected them to. But they held up perfectly fine. The knees are so breathable, walking on the trail feelike like your not wearing any pants at all. When it come to hiking on hot and humid Fl in the 80's it's perfect. I love these pants. $50 was a tough price to swallow especially when their are much better tactical pants out their (5.11, Blackhawk, tru-spec) however the one thing that seperates bear grylls pants is the flexibility, breathability, and super lightweight. For camping, hiking, or just a walk through the woods, bear grylls has nailed it.

I've bought tons and tons of " tactical " or survival type pants trying to find ones that dry fast , last long and most of all are comfortable.. and these are by far the absolute best pants i've ever owned. these are one of a few pairs i have purchased and as long as you don't get the cheap walmart version they are great. Strong and fit like a well broke in glove. i can't say enough good things about them. and i actually use mine for what their intended for and they hold up great.

I LOVE these pants. They're super comfortable, a softer material than expected (i expected them to be parachute style), and the dark bits you see on the seat, knees and calf are a super stretchy cottony material. They breathe great, and have enough extra room for an insulating layer in winter.My only complaint (and why I gave 4 stars vs 5) is the threading is a bit cheap. I haven't had them 3 months and I've had to resow a button, on the inside of the belt line no less (so it couldn't be getting much wear- and i don't wear a tight waistline), The threading on the thighs and around the hips scares me too-feels like it will wear soon.Love the techy look and comfortable feel, I just wish they were of a better quality (especially considering the price tag!)

Got this as a birthday gift for my son - at his request. He was very happy with them. I inspected them pretty good and was going to have a seamstress sew the seams because reviews said they come apart. However - both ladies I took it too said that it all looked great to them and the way they were constructed made it difficult to stitch over just to be sure. So maybe they have changed/bettered their methods since the reviews were posted. He has had them several months now - and still all good! :)

are too big for me, otherwise I think they could have been ok.cons - the material is not stretchable - I would recommend buying a hiking pants with a 3d stretching technology.pros - the knees and ass protection is nice, the leg protection is great to avoid the friction from the shoes or branches. it has a lot of pockets.

Light? YesStretchable panels? YesComfortable? NoBreathable? NoI didn't read the description. Not sure if the black panel portions were described as stretchy but considering these are an outdoor pant (and all the very physical, knee scraping, ass sliding that Bear does), I expected the knee and ass portions would be reinforced. Not soft, stretchy, un-reinforced material that does not protect whatsoever.

Took these to Everest Base Camp, Thailand, and Japan about a month ago. Performance was perfect. They do get a little warm when you're pushing hard and it's over 70 deg F, so I wish the legs unzipped - just buy different pants if that's your thing. I only deducted one star because they aren't necessarily pretty. I mean, you can't really wear these to the gym or around town, you'll look like you sat in oil.Go Bear!

These are very comfortable pants and I really like the way the pockets are situated. The are sized appropriately. I haven't figured out the belt loops that won't stayed snapped, however - not sure what they are for. Also not sure of the color pattern, but functionally and comfort-wise, they are good pants.
