Light stalking trousers

Deerhunter Rogaland exspedition trousers I live in mine

Ticks love to climb micro fleece material
and you then transfer them to your car and home
for later.
tight woven technical hiking trousers or surplus
combats are better.
but if ticks are a problem give the trousers a spray of permethrin
and allow to dry,

I think the current issue tropical trousers might already be treated with permethrin, you'd have to check just which version you were getting. They make great lightweight summer stalking trousers.

Also as per my recent review of waterproofing a smock you can use a waterproofing spray on them which leaves them "shower proof" and also means they dry very quickly indeed as the water doesn't soak into them.

Not down South

Haha, you've not been out in the New Forest area then, Devon and Cornwall are pretty bad too.

North is much more better than down south

As it gets warmer, you may laugh, I wear shorts & T shirt, with an all over midge suit (Scotland west coast). Keeps me cool & the bugs out

As an enthusiastic shorts wearer I'm very impressed with the midge suit idea & I'll be trying that!

in my wood you need two pairs of trousers and chaps
else you will get your legs ripped to pieces
with briars, thorns, and brambles..... not to mention
nettles. oh and sometimes chainsaw trousers.

Fjallraven barents

Totally agree. All Fjällräven products in their Forest range are great for active stalkers. I've used it for years.

Fjällräven Vidda Pro trousers for me. Barents Pro Hydratic or Brenner Pro for wetter colder times.
