belucky 708 Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 have a look at the supertrack 500 hunting chaps on the solognac site, iv had two seasons hunting and beating out of mine , there other hunting clothing is also very good and good value Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,622 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 A dark Khaki green jean type trouser. I bought a few pairs from Decathlon. They're spot on and as smart as I need to be whether beating or shooting. A pair of decent over-trousers for shitty weather and I'm sorted. The usual performance hunting trousers from the various brands I find stupid expensive and often shite. Much better taking a layering system approach. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gtbaker369 44 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I wouldn't recommend jeans, they soak in water like no mans business and don't dry out easy. I wear moleskins and a pair of Barbour waxed over trousers / chaps. When I was a kid I just used to wear a pair of army trousers. End of the day you can pretty much wear what you want but just remember, your gunna be walking in them near enough all day, weather could turn hot then cold, even if it ain't raining at the time, walking though a bit of beat that was rained on the day or night before is gunna get you wet.

Rustypippa 18 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Cheers lads, it's the second season of beating I'm just starting. The the beat is very rough in spots,big bankings covered in brambles and it often looks like a sniper is picking the beaters off the way we go down so expensive is out of the question lol. The wax chaps sound a good idea Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not if you wear over-trousers they won't. No non-waterproofs are pleasant to wear in wet conditions. Personally I've not found these jean type country trousers any worse than anything else. But everyone has their own preferences I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
