Chain mail ?????

 

Seriously though, there's no such thing as rip proof or thorn proof and after a while Waterproof.

If your not coming home with your legs cut, scratched and sore then you ain't doing enough hunting.

Hence the reason every Autumn I buy 6 or 7 pairs of brown or green jeans in Pennys or Dunnes Stores for a tenner a pair and don't have to cry when I'm throwing them in the bin after a few hunts.

I'd look after me feet with good boots alright but trousers wont last IMO.

I think that's the trouble, I tend to work harder than the terriers some times,on many occasions I have come home after a days hunting, smashed up more than the dogs, the wife have made comments like "there's something wrong with you" I think she may be onto something?. anyway I am looking for something that if I go through brambles I am not getting snagged and tangled up to a degree.

thanks bud, that's a big help, just reading your views on "feed or don't feed" good reading, for the record if I go lamping about 10pm I feed the dog 1cup of moist food at midday, every athlete will eat something light some time before the event for fuel.

 

 

spence75, I think we may be on the same wave length, thanks for the link..

used to swear by these when i was out and about with the terriers. they aint waterproof, but they're that thick it takes a fair old while for water to get thru em, and you can crash thru bramble in em...

Sherwood do a pair of trousers that are brilliant as far as thorns/gorse/nettles go, but the material is bloody cold when I'm standing waiting for a bolt, and boiling when I'm running after hounds
