I’ll do me and you do you!

What I look at for pants for true stalking as opposed to thermalling or seat sitting is the noise factor. I actually couldn't believe that they were made for deer hunting and the price was in the HA range. (HA= heart attack)
I had a Dane come stalking with me and his pants as he walked went swish swish with every stride and they were the best that Europe had at the time. Big name that i don't remember except that they were so noisy.

What is the noise factor for the new pants thus?

It’s been a long time since I’ve bought some new stalking trousers and for under £100 a pair I’ll take a punt!

They arrived today so not been out in them yet, but they fit like a glove

I’m expecting them to perform, I’ve had seeland gear before and it was good so took the plunge.

I actually grabbed a pair of these not so long ago for £150.
The material is like a kind of thin dense felt. Waterproof and silent, seems very hard wearing.
Haven’t washed them yet just brush the mud off when dry. So I can’t comment if they shrink or not.
It’s the stitching is usually what seems to fail these days but after about 4 trips out stalking some dog walks and a rainy day on driven pheasant so far so good.

Pretty quiet. None of that normal plasticy waterproof material. Definitely more quiet than Gore-Tex too.

That plasticy schitt is the noisy as **** stuff I was on about.
