What stalking trousers do you recommend,I like the idea of the leather Harkila types.......whats good and whats bad please??
Nomad plus 4s you might feel a bit damp but they basically evaporate water with body heat. I was sceptical about Nomad claims but they work and quite happy to crawl and lay in wet grass /heather and know i wont be wet for rest of the day. Works so well I brought the smock as well.
I wear these

Warm, quick to dry if you manage to drench them (only the backside area is totally waterproof)and very comfortable, pretty much do what they say on the tin.
Highly recommended.

Am I missing something here I'm sure they're great trousers but isn't it important to keep the front dry? I don't often sit down whilst stalking.
As for trousers the Harkila stuff is good , I have the Kodiak leather ones for winter (I think they are discontinued now but there'll be something similar). Only criticism is as stated above they are heavy. As for washing them only once a year whether they need it or not and the best thing for the leather is either mink oil or even betterFiebings 4 way Care leather conditioner.
If I was to start again I think I would go prohunter.
