Philo,

 

Don't do anything drastic yet. I looked briefly in the basement and couldn't find them. I have a suitable pair of brush pants that the legs zip off from. As soon as I find them I'll google for you (size)... you know.

 

Seems to me they are Africa something???????

There's moleskins, Brian (Lutra) had a pair on when we fished together not long ago and they looked great but they may be a bit on the sweaty side over there when it gets warmer with them being so tightly woven.

 

I reckon that a decent pair of denime jeans are more thorn and nettle proof than most trousers.

Tigger is right, jeans are great for resisting stings and thorns, but they are warm and they are uncomfortable when wet and take ages to dry.

philo,

 

I can't find them. The wife says she didn't do anything with my pants - - - - - but I know she did!

 

Anyway - I'd bet you would be happiest with zip-off's. You can do your own google.

I use Craghoppers a lot too in hot weather....or 100% cotton Chinos!

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys - Craghoppers were the ones that came to mind before I made the post - made a trip to Go Outdoors today to have a looky-see, but unfortunately even their biggest size (a 42 - 44" waist) was too small - might have been something to do with their sizing, as other brands in that size DID fit, yet other brands were too tight, even when the label was telling me they were for a 52" waist! ... makes it impossible to buy anything online with any confidence, dealing with those sort of discrepancies.

 

All was not lost however, and I got an amazing 'impulse' buy which should make next winter toasty: a pair of these, in the right size ...

... for the princely sum of just £31.48!!!

 

Never used anything at all like these before, but they seemed way too good a bargain, and will likely encourage me to fish a lake that is within walking distance next winter - it's a mixed lake that fishes well in the warmer months but is almost 100% unfished from maybe late October until March.

 

Still trying to source the original request though, so any further assistance greatly appreciated.

31 quid thats thats 6 pairs right? You could buy the golden fleece for less than that! I'v only got my head round spending more than a tenner on boots!
