Stalking trousers that flex..

[Greenknight88]

Hi all
Just after a little advice in regards trousers. I currently have a pair of percussion imperlight trousers which are great for walking round the farm permissions for the roe out in the fields but when I head up to scotland and set of up the hills after a big red there pulling too tight round the upper thigh and are feeling a little restrictive. Tried a few different brands at the local shop but I can't seem to find somthing that's flexible unless I go for the really light weight stuff.
Any help and recommendations would be appreciated..

Kuiu trousers have plenty of flex in them. I’m wearing the attack pants atm for foxing and love them. Granted they aren’t waterproof but are designed to be layered up. If I’m going to be out stalking and lying up somewhere I’ll wear my Shooterking Greenland trousers and smock which I’ve hid no problems with in the past 3 years.

Haglofs rugged mountain - plenty of flex, waterproof on the knees and seat too.

Seeland Hawker Shell trousers - only type I use now - mk1 version I preferred as had better pockets but heavier and no mesh behind the bent zips which allows ticks free access.
Current version lighter but still excellent and very flexible with mesh behind the zips and very breathable but warm enough for winter hill ground as well as summer.
Like any trouser at any price they will let water in after extensive crawling or handling wet deer but also very strong- never ripped or had them burst anywhere and used both sets weekly all year round

Should have also said, proper plus fours are ideal for the hill. Plenty of material so not restrictive, breath well, warm when wet, and natural camo - really isn’t anything better in my mind.

harkila ragnar trousers will fit the bill or seeland outdoor trousers are my go to, both have stretch fabric so totally unrestrictive.

Get a pair of plus fours best you will get for the hill , get proper plus fours not plus two''s
Plus fours if you have to crawl when you stand up the wet patch will no longer be against your skin and shed any water onto the ground especially if you team them with
gaiters.
And if you are unlucky enough to get soaked
Tweed will not be cold even when wet.

Try something like sallopettes or trousers that are over sized and wear braces.

Just wait a few years and you won't need trousers that flex because your joints won't flex!!!

I use deerhunter mouflon light trousers because I am a big unit and I need a bit of give!!
They have a nice amount of stretch in them and are pretty breathable, but maybe not the most robust if you are going through briars or gorse.
