RevolutionRace Men's RVRC GP Trousers, Durable Trousers for Hiking, Walking, Exploring and All Other Outdoor Activities

I bought these as I had accidentally ordered the wrong size of the Norwand Pro Pants and the Silence Proshell 2.0 direct from Revolution Race. The turnaround of returns meant I had to get these RVRC GP trousers via Amazon Prime to have something to take abroad with me - but I am so glad I did.I've just got back from a week of van camping around Iceland in winter which served as a great test of the RVRC GP's features. I wore these trousers with a pair of thermals underneath for 7 days except when sleeping, the lowest temperature was -16.Whether hiking through deep snow, scrambling over glaciers or being stood in high winds these did the job without hesitation. I remained dry and warm throughout and enjoyed how hard-wearing the fabric is but with enough stretch in key areas to enable kneeling, climbing - also sitting in cafes sipping coffee. I was never caught in rain - but heavy snow and the odd slip into a fjord dried off very quickly. I like the elasticated hem on the legs which I could pull down over my boots - it kept out 95% of snow. Next time i'll wear gaiters but i'd do that regardless.Thigh pockets are a good size for a beanie or pair of winter gloves and the variety of colours makes this brand stand out or contrast well with your other layers.I was quite skeptical of the RVRC seemingly insta-savvy, flashy marketing and have usually owned Montane or other 'traditional' outdoor brands. I have been very pleasantly surprised and look forward to my other pairs arriving in due course to try out around the UK. Well worth the money in my opinion!By the way you can google 10% off to use on the RVRC website (this is what I did) and they've since emailed out 25% off for valentine's so worth shopping around as the colour ways on Amazon are a little limited. Hope this helps :)

I've been buying various bike and back packing clothing for a while now. I've tried cotton combats, wool... cheap stuff and choked at the cost of fjàllraven stuff although if I had the money I'd love to try a pair. These were about 20quid over my budget but I was sick to death of trousers not fitting properly or restricting movement.I was very very happy with these. When you bend over there is no builders bum... No where near. You can stretch, squat and kneel easily without any restriction... And if your biking or back packing this is exactly what you are going to be doing. The reinforced bits seem really heavy duty and the rest are very comfortable. The crotch area seems to be made of silk... It's not... but its sooo soft and stretchy. It's very comfortable on long walks and keeps those areas free from chafing and heat. If I'm honest I'm scared this won't last as it feels so thin but I'm hoping. I completed a walk in Buxton a few weeks ago and was caught in cold gusts and rain. They trousers are very good and keeping wind out and seemed to shed water quite well. It was really rainy and windy but never once did my legs feel cold or wet. The trousers are a little on the expensive side for my liking and if they were 10quid cheaper I'm sure they would sell a lot more. Anyway... If you can stump up for the price they do appear worth it, if not only for the way they fit and feel.

Packaging:Well packaged without excess waste.First impressions:Nice feel to these trousers. No real rough areas to note. Stitching looks good with no scraggly strands you seem to get with most clothing these days. I’ve used these for hiking and fishing without issues. Holding up well.PROS:• Good quality feel.• Nice fit to these. Not baggy and the material in the package area make these comfortable to wear for long periods of time.• Durability seems good so far.CONS:• A bit on the pricey side but worth it in my opinion.Summary:These really are good quality trousers. Very comfortable.Would I recommend the product:That’s a yes.

The overall fit of these are quite good. They do however feel quite chunky on. They feel very much like work pants and aren’t very comfortable. They are somewhat waterproof, not completely. I do like the Velcro adjustable cuffs at the bottom of the pants, nice feature. Overall, not what I was expecting from a very hyped brand of walking pants. Have had better walking trousers for less money.

Comfy and built to last. As a climbing instructor I find I go through trousers so fast as harnesses rubbing on the legs make it wear through and rocks scraping against it. But not these trousers. I’ve worn them nearly daily for a couple years now and they are yet to show any wear. They are on expensive side but have saved me £100s in having to constantly buy other trousers for my work.

Quality is great, although the dark colours do tend to fade fast. I have a few pairs, i use them in the forest when camping and bushcrafting. My size actually comes in at M/50 in a short leg on their size chart but they are real snug and you can't get them over the top of your boot. So what i did is go a size up to large with a slightly longer leg and they fit much better and over the boot too . The excess length just rolls down over the boot and looks just fine. You will notice they don't actually do a short leg in this mud colour which did bug me for a while, obviously I've found a way around that now, but its not the point, why only have limited colours in the short leg, there are plenty of us !!But anyway if you manage to find a pair to fit well, your on a winner, they should last you ages .
