I have a pair of harkila they are about 6 years old but near ****ed now, I heard the new harkila gear is not what it used to be. what about the harkila leather trousers are they hard wearing and do they need much looking after. cheers

I like the idea of these! Jagdhund Trouser - Clothing - My Hunting Shop

You could also have a look at King of The Mountain. Both very durable and warm. King of the Mountain

thanks deerman I like the look of the jaghund trousers, might seem like a stupid question but do you know are they waterproof

 

[Paul 600]

They are a tight weave of wool and 5% camel hair. You should not get soaked wearing them but they are not waterproof.

I am very happy with the 'Deerhunter RAM Hitena' trousers- at less than a third of the price of Harkila widely available online in plain green or camo, for around £80.
However next time in need new trousers I will by a jumpsuit style pair - for two reasons: Pockets full of gear will make your trousers drop in particularly if you have a little belly (and who hasn't , and with all the bending kneeling and crawling you often end up with a cold wet back when your shirt/t-shirt pops out at the back.

They also have a pretty good archive of well made short hunting films.

£250 for a pair of fecking trousers!

Some people are so over speced it is beyond belief. I think this beats the guy who chopped his 7x swarovski bins for a set of x8.5s.

along with balistic turrets, bipods, quad sticks etc, by the time you have finished twiddling and fiddling any deer will have gone or died of natural causes.

I think £250 is not to bad if you get 5 years out of them.

Another vote for the Harkila pro hunter Active. Not the cheapest but worth every penny when its tipping it down with rain very comfortable.

My laksen trousers lasted all but 5 years,@ £80 in the CLA,a superb buy truly 100%waterproof and breathable but i just cant remeber the exact name,i think they're discontinued,sadly.
I used them throughout the year and were my only stalking trousers until I ripped the front on a barb wire.
I'm going to go for the Laksen sika next @ £65ish.
I've also got a pair of Bob Parrat Rexmor trousers @£40,again very waterproof.
Deerhunter ram,@ £40,again 100% waterproof but a bit warm,had them shooting geese in the worst possibble weather the other day and i was bone dry.

Just seen someone selling the Special 6 trousers on the bay mate - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Buffalo-S...s_Sports_Clothing_LE&var=&hash=item41763220ae

Might be an option although I'm not sure how good they are compared to the shirts?
