Non-waterproof stalking trousers
- Thread starter 75

Fjallraven Vidda Pro Trousers are tough and quiet. As others have said, long johns are the answer if it's chilly - and shell trousers plus long johns makes for more versatility than thicker trousers.
Having said that, I think that Fjallraven clothing is crazily overpriced for what it is - it's just polycotton, and that's available much cheaper elsewhere. You could buy 5 pairs of these (which look quite decent) for the same price as a pair of the Fjallravens.

How are these sized Rob? Do you need to go up a size like the Harkila trousers? I find most European trousers are a size to small for me.

Many years ago, I had two pairs of moleskin trousers made in heavy weight mole skin with double knees and seats. They were also high backed.. one pair is nearly worn out the other pair, OK? I wore them for all my summer and winter stalking. The problem is that I must have a damp wardrobe, and they have shrunk so no longer fit. The matching vests with large bellow pockets I still wear when I'm feeding the ducks or in the forest on milder days
Damm - only just seen!
I alternate between 2 sets of Harkila - the Gortex Pro's for hard wet stalking and the Ingels (1101147) for Summer, dry conditions. The latter, available in various leg length like the Pros have been outstanding! Sadly, I think they are discontinued now although I see some are coming up in vintage outlets on the www - you might be able to get a bargain there! They are also in Harkila's vetted vintage outlet:

(and search for Ingels)

Do you not have ticks in NZ?Shorts and gaiters, unless reaching freezing then a pair of long John’s.
So perhaps this is why no one here understands my saying “ like a tick on a pigs back” usually describing the the bodily proportions of certain people.
Obviously they will never understand “having a throat like a badgers arm pit”
Mind you my favourite was told to me by a Aussie, when he was hungry “I could suck the crutch out of a low flying duck”

I have never failed to rip the crotch on any trousers I use. Mainly use Harkila Pro in winter, ripped, Use harkil scandinavian in more moderate whether , ripper crotch, the Pulsarrail, ripped, some might say I have big B$$$$, nothing survives, but its all just better ventilation!

Fjallraven, I think they’re fairly accurate, I’ve not had to order a size up.
The Kuiu I had to go up one waist size.

Ihave1 pair of each of these, the lined pair about 4 years old the lightweight only 2 years old.I really rate these:
Percussion Tradition Trousers
The Percussion Tradition trousers are made with resistant and water repellent polycotton and they feature multiple pockets, an elasticated waistband and zipped ankles as well.www.newforestclothing.co.uk
You can wear some thermals underneath if it's cold or they do a warm microfleece lined version:
Percussion Tradition Warm Trousers
The Tradition Warm trousers from Percussion are ideal for wearing on days out hunting or walking through the woods.
They are reasonably hardwaring and very good value for money.
There hard wearing (for the price) comfy and wash easily.
I might replace the lined pair next month if there’s a good deal at the Shot Show
