My go to stuff is British Military surplus. I'm a huge fan of "windproof" smocks and trousers. The new MTP is tough as heck. The bay is your friend.
Its OG civilian trousers that I find hard to find. Price and fit. The need for waterproof and non waterproof for the different times of year. I don't fit/suit Craghoppers. If I do find something that works its buy several pairs.
I'll watch this thread with interest.
