Ah, I didn't use those long pockets at the back for years thinking they're were a bit silly, then I needed to stick my phone in them and I was like "oh wow these are actually quite useful, none of that thigh squashing on every upstroke". Oh well, thanks for the detailed review. I reckon I'll get a pair (although it's too late to save my sexy shins)

If you’re still looking trousers, I’ve now gotten a (short) ride in my Humvees.
The cut is a bit funny, wider from the knee down than I expected, narrower from the knee up than I expected.
I had some pretty bulky joggy type shorts under them as I was on my way into town to get tattooed so needed something to strip off. I expect they’ll be better without this but they are almost on the verge of being restrictive around the hips.
Although the bottom of the legs are baggies than expected there was no chain catching issues or anything. The cuff seems to be a bit tighter so they stay out of the way and there’s Velcro at the cuff and up the leg a bit that could be used to tighten them up a smidge.
Material feels really light which will be good for packing and drying I imagine, wonder how warm they’ll be, I can always wear tights under.
The long pockets on the back of the thigh are missing which seems like a shame, I like them for stuffing gloves and that in on the shorts and 3/4.
Waist is nice and high at the rear so no Eye of Sauron.
