Hi PKL
Pro Hunter is the best all round trouser.
Be aware that the 1/2 full leather /Suede trousers need aftercare from the get go, the leather must be fed as wet dry wet dry will harden the leather. Use a saddle soap to clean it, avoid dry cleaning, and be aware of the aftercare regime.
Pro Hunter Trousers with all Gore-Tex has a waterproof coating on the outer face of the cloth, this rubs off and will need replenishing with a Tex wash. This is 100% normal and you will know it will need to be done as soon as wet-out starts to occur. see our blog about this. Re-proofing Clothing FAQ | Rugged s Blog
If you are still undecided, call the store and we can talk you through the ranges and as each has a different purpose, it is easy to get confused with which Harkila range to chose from, Endurance Performance or Classic. Our store number is 01525 211488 and we are open 7 days. Ask for Andrew or Brendan

R&T.. I have a pair of Harkila leather trousers and a pair of Kodiak with leather patches, what is the best treatment to keep them good?
thanks for all your input gents.
based on the aftercare and pre-care of the leather fronted ones, I am now back to thinking about a more simple design like the original pro-hunter again..however, I do not like the tightening system around the ankles as I fold the trouser legs and stick inside my stalking boots, and any such gimmicks tend to become painful on the ankles and legs. I also despise the suspender buttons as they tend to get stuck under my belt, and then hurt like hell when sitting or crawling....if only they could ditch these features..suss
