Fishing trousers

[Stathamender]

I don't know about you but in recent years I've found it increasingly difficult to get decent fishing trousers of the green cargo/combat kind. Even Ebay delivers only fairly ropy ripoffs these days. Proper Army Surplus stores and market stalls seem to be an endangered species.

Anyway, earlier today I was wandering through my local Decathlon and they've got a special offer on the very thing, see here: http://www.decathlon.co.uk/steppe-300-h ... 55548.html in a whole range of shades and patterns. Don't seem as strong and durable as the old style ones but not bad value, my local Decathlon has them as 30€ for two and they're similar in the UK.

Almost enough to persuade me to abandon my usual supplier: https://www.google.fr/maps/place/Avenue ... dbc062e3a1

In my opinion the very best combat trousers that money can buy are made by Country Covers . . .

I have no connection with the company but I am very happy with their clothing. I had some trousers custom made to my size and specification and they only charged me the list price. They are indestructible. The material sheds water but occasionally when I get soaked, they dry through body heat within about 30 minutes. Highly recommended.
